I woke up at 6:30am and couldn't get back to sleep, so twenty or so minutes of denial I just got out of bed and started watching The Fog of War, which is a bad choice if you're looking for something to lull you back into a carefree slumber. The part where he talks to Castro about the Cuban Missile Crisis many years later is just chilling, fuck! It goes something like this:
Some years later I had a chance to meet Castro and I asked him, I said "I have three questions for you: 1) did you know the warheads were there; 2) if so, would you have recommended to Kuschev that he use them to strike at the US; and 3) what do you think would have been the consequence of such an action?" And he said to me: "1) I knew they were there; 2) not only would I have recommended that he use them, I did recommend that he use them; and 3) Cuba would have been totally destroyed."I'm not too interested in talking about whether people think that the film was too easy on RMcN, or allowed him to make excuses for various unconscionable actions, because first of all I didn't have a passel of personal emotions tied up with the dude like people who lived through the Vietnam years, but also because like most of Errol Morris's movies, it's just somebody talking, and as in real life, you have to decide for yourself how seriously to take what the talker says. So you know. I thought McNamara says a whole fuckload of interesting and important things, and I don't particularly care, in this instance, why he said them -- his personal absolution is his own business. Fuck. Now I'm talking about it, and I'm not sure I agree with myself. Also, maybe this belongs on the review page. In other news, and I swear this is not included solely to piss off stinkeefresh, but: I saw this dude on the train and I was so dismayed by his outfit that I wanted to kill him with my brain. And it wasn't that bad, I guess, but it was like this: Ponytail. Goatee. Athletic style "letterman" jacket, you know, with fuzzy torso and white leather arms. Jeans, really new, really blue, with tapered legs. Hightop sneakers. So all in all, he was a lot like the dude from American Movie, except that I wanted to explode him with my brain. 0 comments |
