Errol Morris and Michael Williams
"The Fog of War"
|
Speech
Errol Morris: This thing is heavy. I'd like to thank the Academy
for finally recognizing my films. Thank you so very, very, very
much! I thought it would never happen. I'd like to thank my very
good friends at Sony Pictures Classics, Michael Barker, Tom Bernard.
No one would get to see this movie without them. My two producers
Michael Williams, Julie Ahlberg. Couldn't have made the movie without
them either. My long suffering editors Charlie Silver, Brad Fuller.
And Karen Schmeer and Doug Abel, thank you also very much. And believe
it or not, Robert McNamara, with whom, if he hadn't done it there
would have been no film. 40 years ago this country went down a rabbit
hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit
hole once again. And if people can stop and think and reflect on
some of the ideas and issues in this movie, perhaps I've done some
damn good here. Thank you very, very much.
