It's worth seeing a smart but (in the past, at least) potentially misguided man explore his role in history. Yes, it's a bit biased in downplaying McNamara's role in pushing for the continuation of the Nam war, but it does show a man who has primarily learned the error of his follies. Perhaps he learned them a bit too late, but his account serves to hopefully teach future world shapers not to make the same mistakes. This movie shows the tragedy of how smart men can still be excruciatingly dumb in certain situations, and that, as McNamara says, rationality, in itself, will not save us.
"Glossary of Broken Dreams" definitely has an interesting concept: what kind of buzzwords do we use in our (social media thread) bubbles, but most people don't really understand what they mean? Through a series of short vignettes and using pop culture as the prime example, that concept succeeds in more ways than one. It's one of more entertaining documentaries I've seen and it's massively thought-provoking. Highly recommended!
