God fucking damn this is good
>>214488421by far his best, the other dont come close
>>214488421I just watched this yesterday. Get out of my walls.I was drunk on bourbon by the last episode. I cried.
>Uh, Shelby? You, you said that word again. We're going to roll again and this time please don't say anything beginning with N.

>>214488794>Camera-helicopter flying over wooded hills at sunset.
>>214488421>the confederates arent being portrayed as prequel-nazis!!!
>>214488421The ending to E1, with the husband's letter to his wife, is tear-wringingly beautiful
>>214488421>The Pickett's Charge scene.
Unpopular opinion: his brother's documentaries are better. The Donner Party and the series about NYC since the 1600s were pure kino.
>>214488421>God fucking damn this is goodYeah, good for my insomnia
>>214488421Why do non americans hate this series so much?
The sequel where the side with all the men and guns keep trying to talk to the enemy and cuck out over and over while they get slaughtered in front of their children was unrealistic. Who writes this stuff?
>>214488421Watched it a few months ago, total kino.
>>214488965>they all ate each otherthat doesn't seem like much of a party
>>214488989>Why do non americans hate this series so much?Non americans do'nt know about Ken Burns and don't give a fuck about the civil war.
is there a comparable english version?
>>214488421>Run ole hare, if I was an ole hare I'd run too
>>214489055Not enough photographs to cover it. The English gave up civil warring before the press got tech.
>>214489055>When the King Enjoys his Own Again softly plays as we pass over an oil painting of Oliver Cromwell
>>214488421>ashokan's farewell starts playing
>>214488421If it had been me and my kids in that civil war, it wouldn't have gone down like it did. There would have been manure and minie balls everywhere, and then me saying "Will somebody stop playing that haunting violin?"
>>214489214Gold.
>>214488784Speaking of featured historians it's such a shame they only brought up Barbara Fields to talk about MUH BLACKS.
>>214488784>>214489059You can tell Shelby was just making shit up, but he was great at telling it
>>214489245it's even worse because she actually IS a historian. foote was a writer.
what was up with this guy? high on amphetamines?
>>214489316When he was talking about the Battle of the Wilderness, he was getting a little too excited talking about wounded men burning to death.
>>214488965>Any documentary being better than Ken Burns' Civil WarYeah nah fuck you
>>214489316I always thought he was working around a speech impediment or something his emphasis on certain sounds and weird facial expression.
>>214489017your lack of faith is disturbing
>>214489245>Says literally nothing of poingance, just loops "Da Cibil Wah wuz abou black peepo" in every appearance>Her final summation of the series was whining about reparations when Foote's was quoting an actual war veteran talking about the bonds found in combat that allowed them to reunite as a country after the warThere literally can't be a bigger waste of time in the series. The fact that this person has a doctorate tells you how much of a joke academia always has been. >>214489316There should've been alot more of Ed Bearss who had a kino theatrical method of story telling that he used to give battlefield tours until he died at 97
>>214489316>>214489456Bearss was also a marine infantry veteran who was at Guadalcanal and New Britian and survived being hit by machine gun fire at Cape Gloucester
>>214489250He loved a good story
Are Vietnam or WW2 worth watching? I heard the Nam one was just apologia for the VC
>>214490322The Vietnam War is fucking great. If you're even slightly interested in the issues you should definetly watch it.
>>214490351Does it go into the gulf of tonkin incident and how the whole reason for the war was as fake as the weapons of mass destruction for the Iraq War?
>>214490429It even goes into how JFK wanted to keep the US out of Vietnam, and they killed him so LBJ could take over and throw tons of American boys in!
>>214488926>some retard charge eats shit and thats considered the high water mark What a sad rebellion lol
Ken Burns' National Parks is pretty good too.
The song theme is one of the best i have ever heard... They talk too much about negroes tho, their parts in the documentary are dreaful
>>214488965>The Donner Party has a film version in 2009 featuring Crispin Gloveraww shit nigga
Ken Burns's entire oeuvre in two words: America bad. PBS wouldn't have aired it otherwise. It's what they do.
>>214489214nice except Walberg said "went down" which makes it even better
>>214490322you were told correctly except it's also anti-American and anti-military>>214490351nah the usual leftist propaganda. look at the very careful chosen talking heads.
Robert E. Lee deserved better damnit.Dude didn't care about slavery or secession, didn't hate the North, didn't hate Lincoln, just really loved his state and had a true soldier's dense of duty. The whole segment about Lee meeting with Grant to surrender is heartbreaking.
>>214491182Ken Burns' Civil War and Baseball are some of the most pro-American things ever made, you dolt
>>214488421>God fucking damn
Name a more kino ww2 documentary
>>214491430Ah, yes, a leftist with insults instead of facts. how unusual. perfect example of one of America's #1 problems today: the educated but brainwashed and enthusiastically conformist
>>214491605The fuck are you talking about? How is his Civil War series 'America bad'?
>>214488989average yuro IQ is 65. they are a very retarded "people"
>>214491298At least grant was nice and respectful about it
>>214491457shut the fuck up faggot
>>214489059>and that was the last shot fired at the battle of shilohi love this man. read the civil war: a narrative 3 times now
>*hits fast forward*
He's just like me
>>214488421We'll never get Ken Burns,>Minor Guerilla conflicts of the 1940's to 1980's during the cold war>Space race documentary>Proper documentary dedicated to the first Indochina war and other french conflicts>Proper focus on ARVN between 1955 and 1975>Korean War>Byzantine Empire/Holy Roman Empire>African Bush conflicts>History of Japan/ChinaGenuinely kinda bummed out. I wish I was a billionaire because I'd fund this shit. Instead the Billionaires we get are pedos or actively buy shit to just let it fade away in dust
>>214491997Also a proper documentary focused on WW1 including minor fronts like East Africa, Pacific, Naval combat of South America etc.
>>214491721>Grant wanting to reminisce about the time they met in Mexico and their lives in the army before the war>Lee has to keep bringing the conversation back to the topic at hand>Grant offering 25,000 rations and forbidding his men from celebrating in front of the prisoners out of respectThe mutual respect between Grant and Lee was really something man
Free on PBS btw https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-civil-war/
>>214488579Nah, Vietnam war has a LOT of kino
Is anyone interested in his Revolutionary War doc coming out November 16?
>>214488421Does it talk about confederates operate out of Montreal? There are some self enriching shenanigans = the conflict wasn't what it seemed if lots of gold went missinghttps://www.amazon.com/Montreal-City-Secrets-Confederate-Operations/dp/1771861231
>>214488421I fucking love this shit like you wouldn’t believe. Can’t even count how many times I’ve rewatched this. It is kino of the highest order.
>>214492903Never heard of it so I am now
>>214492022BBC The Great War
>>214488784Why does this guy make so many redditors seethe simply for not pretending like every single southerner was an evil slavebot?
I haven't seen CW in its entirety, nor have I seen his other major ones, but I enjoyed picrel tremendously and quite liked his 2-parter on Thomas Jefferson. I'm guessing they're both underrated, never hear anything about them.
