Movie Reviews of The Remarkable 20th Century: The Astonishing Events and People That Have Shaped Our Modern World
Movie Review: Remarkable
Summary: 5 Stars
I am really impressed with the series narrated by Howard K. Smith. This presentation takes several disciplines and places them in the proper decades. This is not just a history of war or presidents but also of technology and fashion.
I'm not a fan of sound bite presentations read have five people and you rotate the room over and over and over again instead of concentrating on one person telling a total story. However, this presentation lends itself perfectly to such a presentation.
Many of the facts that you hear about and read about in the 20th century seem isolated and have no relevance to other things happening. However, this series puts them in perspective. You know what is actually happening in 1936, instead of just the Olympics you know when amendments were made to the Constitution not just why. You get a new perspective on presidents and wars.
You may not want to take the whole series and in one viewing but it is possible.
