The fog of war is a american documentary being told by Robert s. Mcnamara. He is telling us about the eleven lessons, and he is also illustarting his observstions of the nature of modern warfiar. The movie is called fog of war there ; describing how difficult it is making moves in the midst of conflict.
Lesson #1: Empathize with your enemy. Lesson #2: Rationality alone will not save us. Lesson #3: There’s something beyond one’s self. Lesson #4: Maximize efficiency. Lesson #5: Proportionality should be a guideline in war. Lesson #6: Get the Data. Lesson #7: Belief and seeing are both often wrong. Lesson #8: Be prepared to reexamine your reasoning. Lesson #9: In order to do good, you may have to engage in evil. Lesson #10: Never say never. Lesson #11: You can’t change human nature. 1. What was the most striking element of the film. Why do you remember that part particularly? I think the most striking element of the film was was lesson 5 (proportionality should be a guideline in war). I remember this oart of the movie because Robert was talking about all the japanese cities at were being destroyed and he was labeling other cities that were around the same size. 2. Which one of McNamara’s questions or challenges is of most interest or concern to you? Why? I think lesson six was the one that most interested me an couaght my attention because Mcnamara was explaining how he got into the government with J.F kennedy, in lesson six the film jumps to 1963 and its playing a tape where J.F Kennedy and mcnamara were talking on the phone and disscussing about how they were gunna come to terms with each other. 3. Which of the eleven lessons were most interesting and important to you? With which do you disagree? Which do you think will have the most impact on the 21st century? Why? I think lesson six was the one that most interested me because Mcnamara was explaining how he got into the government with J.F kennedy, in lesson six the film jumps to 1963 and its playing a tape where J.F Kennedy and mcnamara were talking on the phone and disscussing about how they were gunna come to terms with each other. The lesson i think that i would have to disagree with was lesson 8 "Be prepared to reexamine your reasonin" because it just didnt engage me as much as the other lessons did. The lesson i think that may have the most impact ont the 21st century would be lesson 9 "in order to do good, you may have to engage in evil" and i think this because its true.
