RED VIC MOVIE HOUSE•The Fog of War



	The Fog of War
	Dir. Errol Morris US 2003 Director Morris (Gates of Heaven, Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control) has crafted a body of work that traverses the intersection of humanity's faculty for genius and its accompanying inclination toward eccentricity. Employing his patented interview device, The Interrotron, which creates the effect of the subject staring directly at the audience, Morris trains his sights on his most challenging quarry yet: former Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara. The film is structured by 11 lessons, each arguably less reassuring than the one preceding; Rationality Will Not Save Us; Belief And Seeing Are Both Often Wrong; and lastly, You Can't Change Human Nature. Morris also employs his signature stylized, absurdist dramatizations. Particularly effective are animated numbers raining down on Japan as McNamara calculates just how many civilians need to be incinerated in order to achieve peace. Staring unblinking at us, a genuinely searching McNamara asks, "What makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?" (95m)
