Philip Glass - 100,000 People

[trechan]

This movie is THE SHIT. Best fucking cold war film I've ever seen.

[ForbiddenStar1]

watching this movie in my IB history class :) cinematography is so well done

[GoldeneyePwner]

After watching the film, this is one of the darkest songs I've ever heard. 100,000 people. Dead. Like nothing.

[ivywhatareyoudoing]

lol the top comments are just pretentious teenagers trying to sound smart because they watched one good movie.

[blackbahadur]

@ivywhatareyoudoing haha true! but weren't we like that once?

[trechan]

@ivywhatareyoudoing I was thinking the same thing. Let em, it certainly makes Americans look better. At least Black Ops' Comments aren't filling the comment section.

[magister61]

Mc Namara was trapped in his time to the best in an erroneous war he didn't begin. Good music as all of Glas put good climate.

[skaz21]

Robert McNamara is not the "war criminal" this movie tries to make him out to be. He did the best he could under the political pressure that he was under.

The Democrat party has full responsibility for the wars that they have sent young men to die in. This is a fact, and you're blind if you can't see it.

God bless Robert McNamara, Richard Nixon, and Donald Rumsfeld. They have worked so very hard all their lives to protect this nation, and all they get is lies and disinformation on their names.

[Mojuggernaut]

Great documentary about a man who undoubtedly shaped history. Looking back, events seem like they will turn out a particular way, but its interesting to hear how uncertain it all was at the time.

[PamandJim1000]

Yes, thank you for uploading this! I bought this CD years ago and will NEVER tire of it. Can you upload Dominoes? I LOVE the strings in that one. I play it over and over!

[MrBogusazrael]

I got in a fight once and ran away... so by your definition I won. Great logic.

Is it a problem that the US pulled out? Nope. It was the best decision ever. Just don't kid yourself.

I'm prob considered a lefty european but i got nothing but respect for Mr Mcnamara and not only should it be shown in the US it shoudl be shown in the entire world. He made the best decisions with all the knowledge he had AND he takes responsibility for his decisions.

[illuzion30]

Interesting. I'd never heard of Philip Glass... but the opening of Fog of War made me think of the Truman Show... and sure enough, same guy.

[spiritofseventysix]

"In that single night, we burned to death one hundred thousand Japanese civilians in Tokyo. Men, women and children.... But what makes it immoral if you lose and not immoral if you win?" His description of the Tokyo firebombing is unforgettable...arguably the best scene in the movie.

[jesseboy303]

thanks for upping

[DarwinsFriend]

Haunting. Matched the movie perfectly - along with Mac's personality.

[TheStealth86]

wow the bass on this! it has a really unsettling, brooding feeling to it, something very sinister is going to happen but not yet tho

[anisuthideyakoindu]

also look into

"Seventy by Wouter Joseph Smekens, Philip Glass"(1997/2007)

a well-received tribute you keep on listening at

it's on iTunes

[CutterScene]

Due to this film (and soundtrack, which I legitmately bought) I am now starting to read the book "Argument Without End", written by McNamara a 4 other authors, stating many contibutions taken from six rounds of investigative, multinational panels (between 1995-1998) to find answers to the cascade of misunderstanding and fatefull tragedies. Will see if, by reading it, it'll be more comprehensible why the diplomatic effort about Vietnam derailed and military options were pursued.

[TheSaltyAdmiral]

Thanks for uploading this! Great documentary.

Also I would recommend you see "Why we fight", that is one of my favs.

[670Kiester]

Great doco, great song/ piece/ movement/ arrangement idk haha.

Many thanks.

[kakashi76767]

somehow, at the end of this movie, i actually felt bad for the man

[merezstarz]

I can top all of you. A girl in my history class asked if ww3 had happened yet! I wanted to slap her so badly...

[5991robi]

this documentary was fantastic! could you upload the other tracks?

thanks!

[5991robi]

this documentary was fantastic! could you upload the other tracks?

thanks!

[ImMusicallyAnimated]

Thanks for uploading this! I absolutely love this documentary and the soundtrack! Is it possible for you to upload the other tracks?

[BurnumBurnum123]

@ImMusicallyAnimated

Yeah sure, Im actually really surprised this video has this many views.

[NoLies86]

@BurnumBurnum123 ... it's a god damn amazing soundtrack...made the documentary spectacular ... put some more of the songs up

[ImMusicallyAnimated]

Thanks SO much for uploading this! Could you possibly upload the rest of them?

[ImMusicallyAnimated]

Thank you sooo much for posting this. I absolutely love this documentary and soundtrack!

[jescarpita]

riveting sound track from the fog of war!

[7879386]

As was said before........those who fail to study history, are often condemned to repeat it. We have been here before......we have seen the consequences of our actions. Violence is NOT the way.

[Maxfield93]

Man sometimes I can't believe the garbage that young people watch these days, I'm 16 and find myself to have been extremely lucky to be able to experience this film. Simply eye opening, and riveting.  Plus Philip Glass is always impeccable :)

[Messenger33]

Good for you. :) I am 26 and have many friends who act like they're 10 when it comes to movie tastes (Transformers 2) and seem to enjoy being ignorant of politics and history. One girl I know actually thought we had won the Vietnam war. Christ. I blame it on Paris Hilton and the twitter culture.

[democrat10]

My best friend was in a history class where a girl asked who won the Revolutionary War with Britain. Sigh.

[BurnumBurnum123]

haha i know how you feel democrat10, ive talked to people who thought america won in vietnam.

[Vyrthranatrax]

@BurnumBurnum123 With Vietnam, it really depends how you define "won".

[tattat44]

@Vyrthranatrax

I don't think getting pushed all the way back to Saigon and literally cramming the last troops onto a helicopter to escape NVA Armored Divisions counts as a victory in this or any universe.

Yeah, it was our decision to get our asses kicked via our tactics, strategy, and politics, but in the end, we still got our asses kicked.

[patrickbad]

@BurnumBurnum123 Hey genius American didn't lose Vietnam, we left. It was the South Vietnnamese that couldn't keep it together, after the Tet offensive failed The North was pretty much exhausted. All their dirty tricks like using Cambodia and Laos to sneak troops failed. WE left, and Congress wouldn't fund the corrupt South Vietnamese govt. anymore, hence it collapsed. Get it straight.

[omgtkseth]

Dont listen to BurnumBurnum123, he/she doesnt know how you feel, the vietnam and the revolution are on way different levels, like "who ate my donut?", and "who killed the baker?"

[democrat10]

Well, neither of us were saying that the American Revolution and the Vietnam war were identical. Our point was that there are people who've talked about either issue who didn't know the relevant history.

[omgtkseth]

Well, I'm not saying that you guys are saying that the American revolution and The Vietnam war were identical. My point is that there are people who've talked about either who didn't know the relevant history, but the simple fact doesn't relate the people when one is ignorant about a minor-medium conflict and the other is ignorant about a massive-closely-important conflict. Don't accuse me of accusing you of when I did not.

[dogbert1985]

r u a woman?

[patrickbad]

@Messenger33 again we didn't lose, we left and the South couldn't hold it together. We could have dropped a tactical nuke, as a matter of fact Nixon, and Johnson thought about it. Nixon came close after the failed Paris peace talks just before his re-election, he wanted good news for the polls.

[Messenger33]

@patrickbad It would have been insane to drop a nuke. Even if the bomb was dropped in the north, radioactive fallout would have drifted to the south anyway and poisoned the entire populace. People would still be getting cancer from it today. That's not how you win hearts and minds. The problem was getting involved in the first place.

[texas224]

@patrickbad What do you call when someone puts all his heart and soul to a project and ends up having to scrap it? I don't see how you can call it a victory over vietnam. Tens of thousands of lives were wiped out all for the sake of preventing the spread of Communism. What a waste of lives. i don't blame leaders of the past because they had went through WW2 and were determind to prevent another outbreak of WW3.

[MissShyguy]

@Messenger33 It's quite a sad thing that this happens, I completely agree with you there. It is horrible that all of this ignorance is around.

[BurnumBurnum123]

agreed maxfield. same age as you.

wouldn't have known about this film if it wasn't for the internet.

in fact i wouldn't have known much at all.

[greenjoker713]

I also agree. I guess I love it because it's the powerful collaboration between Errol Morris and Philip Glass. I got a chance to watch this on Google video for a year or two. I was introduced to Philip through Koyaanisqatsi and Errol through The Thin Blue Line.

[1337gam3r07]

@Maxfield93 I agree. McNamara is an interesting man

[Maxfield93]

that he is.

[55mandreck]

sorry max I pressed the down thumb and like life u can't undo it once its done it's done forever and stays there exactly as it was. McNamara seemed like a likable intelligent chap with dare I say it even feelings how and why they got like they did we will never know but I feel sure mac at the end of his life saw and was sorry for the EVILS he perpetrated .If you ever feel bad about something you have ever done ( the little transgressions we as humans cannot avoid),just remember this!! Peace Mand

[texas224]

@Maxfield93 This is why today's younger generation of American Kids.. need to be waken up.

[Drawnsbyme]

@Maxfield93 Same here!! I am 17, and I dont know why but I switched my tv to one channel I never watch, and I saw this film... I am so touched, I am so... I don't know. It got me a headache. It was so beautifull, and I feel SO LUCKY, just so damn lucky to have switched to that channel and have found out about this film. I can't explain whats going trough my mind.

[TheWizardTrembyle]

@Drawnsbyme I'm six and the fatuity of the rest of the toddlers in my preschool class is almost too incredulous to cogitate. Listening to such exquisite music from a composer as distinguished as Mr. Philip Glass is truly a fortuitous experience.

[Drawnsbyme]

@TheWizardTrembyle If you really are 6, I'm impressed!

[shoplifting1is1fun]

@TheWizardTrembyle

I'm 2, and I must say the lack of intelligence and intellectual climate amongst my fellows is rather frustrating. It seems my ilk are more concerned with colorful blocks and fuzzy animals than philosophical debate. Quite shocking.

[imgordonfreeman]

@shoplifting1is1fun your sarcasm is quite spot on my good sir

[corcaighrebel]

@Maxfield93 you are on the right road with that attitude. Walk the line.

[juankenon]

the master strikes again

[speardeep]

Simply tremendous documentary. Easily the best I have seen, and it has been my business to watch many. Superb music. Don't miss this one. COL Pool

[55mandreck]

[BurnumBurnum123]

Well, i do know one doco called 'no end in sight'.

Its about the iraq invasion and how it was mishandled etc. Very interesting yet not very surprisising

[Meilanu]

Thank you so much for uploading this song! I was definitely amazed by this documentary and was totally hoping for the soundtrack to be somewhere. This part was my favorite part of the documentary--as he was comparing the cities. It really opened my eyes about the effects and brought it close to home.

[BurnumBurnum123]

yeah i think i remember this song from the intro too, gave me goosebumps.

no problem, the soundtracks got some other good songs on it too but this ones by far my favourite.

[verduynetal]

I never knew i liked philip glass till i saw "fog of war" and heard this song. And McNamara's voice sounds BRILLIANT over it.
