Movie Reviews of Historic Time Travel Korean War
Movie Review: Good Overview Of A Forgotten War
Summary: 5 Stars
America, obviously, is currently at war, so it may be a good time to reflect on the previous wars america has thought and what they can teach us about what is going on in our history today.
During the current conflict much is made about comparissons with the fight in Vietnam during the 1960s and early 1970s. What is almost never mentioned is our fight in Korea 10 years beforehand.
Yet, the Korean Conflict is probably a much better analogy for what is going on today than Vietnam ever was.
After the end of World War II we needed to keep the American economy going but suddenly there was nothing for our war based factories to make. So, we found an excuse to make a new conflict, this time in the far east.
Korea, like the fight today, was a war of choice that we thought would be an easy fight, but kept going on much longer than we could have expected.
The films on this disk give a great overview of the conflict and are essential to any true understanding of history. You get to see what we thought we were fighting for while also getting a perspective on how the war itself was being marketed back in teh homeland.
I reccomend this disk highly to anyone who is interested in the politics of our current conflict or wants to see how the way we interact with the world today was shaped by our policies in our history.
Summary of Historic Time Travel Korean War
From President Truman's edict to the finals body-count, America,s involvement in Korea is and will remain the subject of historic dispute. This was a war in which a million Chinese, 600,000 Korean and 50,000 American soldiers lost their lives. The anti-Communist element, though a catalyst, was by no means the only motivating factor. The issues surrounding the Korean War are in danger of being lost to public awareness. To revisit the era in which events in Korea were very much in the news and on every American mind, Historic Time Travel- Korean War: Korea Goes to War! is an invaluable resource with a treasury of pertinent, fascinating audio-visual material.
