The Brilliance That is Ken Burns
Everything that Ken Burns puts his hands to is brilliant, this is his best work ever. For the first time, we get to see what it was like during WWII on the homefront, what it was like for American families, staying at home to work and to worry. The perspective of looking at what happened through those who waited gives us history we have never seen. But most brilliant is Ken Burns treatment of what it was like for African American soldiers and marines who came home to find the racism that they had fought overseas to destroy. Ken Burns puts a healing hand on the story just by revealing the racism in film. We cannot change the past, but by revealing the stories we can begin to make change. I never see a Ken Burns film without thinking---I hope this guy lives to be 175 years old so he can use his talent to show us what was behind the American history pages.Read full review »

별로 오래되진 않았지만 잘 보고 있습니다. 이런 것을 만들어 다시볼 수 있다니 가진자 힘을 가진 그것도 잘난체면과 착오를 반드시 함께 기억해 두어야 할 내용입니다. 정책과 시스템이 딱 맞아 떨어진 상황이네요.

My great gradfather fought on the front lines in germany. Orderd to kill innocent women and children. But as said in gran toreno what haunts a man the most is what he is not orderd to do. He gained shellshock during the war he was never the same.
