MYST Q2 #1 Ken Burns: The War

 


 The war goes in depth into World War Two. It is a documentary following five towns and their citizens during the years of the second world war. The movie is split up into seven parts, each going year by year until the end of the war in 1945. The film makes you feel like you are in the 1940's, with high resolution camera shots and sound. Many scenes showcase the gruesome reality of combat during the world war. One example is the intro clip that Ken Burns Posted on his own YouTube channel.


The war shows World War Two in a way that I have never seen. Growing up studying the history of my grandfathers and great uncles, this documentary shows the war as they saw it, and does not censor any information about the war. The film allows its viewers to see truly what the men and women of the armed forces had to go through during this great, horrible conflict. I easily give this film 5/5 Stars for its in depth study into World War Two. After watching the film, you come out with a new respect for what that generation had to do. If you have a good seven hours to spend, spend it on watching this!
