In this episode, the tornado shows elemental rage in its violence. On May 4th, 2007, EF5 tornado, one of the largest twins in the recent history hit Kansas, wiped the town Greensburg off the map. This documentary also shows that human beings are creative creature. After the disaster, scientists begin to study where those tornadoes come from, how strong they are. Their goal is tries to learn about the tornado’s form and wind in the tornado, how it to get damage, so in the future people can build better building. There are some C.G in this documentary such as 3D models of the houses and museum.

The Fog of War
This documentary film seems very simple, this is, only one man is interviewed, and the place is not changed. However, when I watch it, I get big shake. Former Secretary of Defense of the United State Robert S. McNamara just seats there and talks like a regular guy, but he went through some great moments in history. In fact he’s been part of wars. He was born two years ago of the world war I, Three years in the U.S. Army during World War II and seven years as secretary of defense during the Vietnam War. As a soldier, a politician and a banker he teaches me a lot. For example, he says: Empathize with your enemy and never say never. This film uses a number of rare images to show the significant periods in history. In addition, I remember a very moving statement Robert S. McNamara issues in the film: human beings must stop killing other human beings. Now, however, we all know human beings never stop killing other human beings.
