I didn't get the chance to catch this in the theatres and am wondering if the movie is good enough for a blind buy. I certainly am very interested in documentaries, especially ones that are very relevant to what's going on in the world today, touching on the subject of war and its consequences.

I was hoping this film won't just have a camera on McNamara and have him do all the talking without certain visual evidences or footages that would preferably make the film more riveting.

Thanks.

Right, because doing a search for a review would be too much of a bother.

What's wrong with you?

I just got around to watching this last week. I'd say that well over half the time you're not watching McNamara speak; it's mostly archival footage.

games,

Aside from the dvd review that a DVDtalk reviewer did, I could not find the film through "search" since the title did not have more than four letters per word. I was actually hoping that someone in the forums can provide a layman's review.

I'm so sorry to offend you.

Cardiac, you should be asking this in the DVD Reviews forum, not the main forum.

That said, I think you'd like the movie. Errol Morris' documentaries are more than just talking-head interviews.

This movie's right up your alley. Blind buy? Hard to say. Is rental not an option?

Two words on whether to buy The Fog of War:

HELL - YES.

It is a phenominal documentary and McNamara has some very interesting things to say aout himself, his life, his family, Vietnam, World War 2, and past Presidents.

Josh,

Thank you for a much well-mannered and courteous reply.

Some people here just thrive on biting others' heads' off.
