Movie Reviews of World War II: The Epic Battles
Movie Review: Excellent History of those most trying and scary times
Summary: 5 Stars
I was profoundly moved by this great collection. Ken Burns is to be commended on taking the time and effort to present such an outstanding presentation on these battles. I learned more than I could have learned by any other means, be it books, movies, lectures. This should be required viewing by student over the age of 15.
Summary of World War II: The Epic Battles
This 3-dsic DVD set includes:Finest Hour The Battle of Britain (previously unreleased) - With the same combination of flawless research and extraordinary narrative that has earned Stephen Ambrose universal acclaim, Finest Hour recreates the tensions and uncertainties of the events of 1940...months when the fate of the world truly did hang in the balance. This film combines more than 100 original interviews and literally thousands of primary contemporaneous documents with a fresh and often controversial account of the swirling political intrigues and betrayals of the period.
Battle of the Bulge - An examination of the biggest and most bloody battle ever fought by American soldiers as seen through the eyes of the soldiers and combat officers charged with holding the line and closing the bulge. In their own words, they describe the events leading up to the attack , the unpreparedness and surprise of the Allied forces, the grueling physical and psychological conditions under which they fought, and the memories that still haunt them.
Iwo Jima - Red Blood, Black Sand - Transforming scenes from over 40 reels of combat footage into a timeless tribute for all veterans who fought during World War II, Iwo Jima: Red Blood/Black Sand brings the bloodiest battle in Marine Corps history to life. For the veterans who survived the ordeal, the memories are painful. In Iwo Jima: Red Blood/Black Sand, many talk for the first time about a battle that has haunted them for almost half a century.
