- AtmaScout 12y agoI wish this was on Netflix streaming. I find this type of history really appealing.
- mrottenkolber 12y agoThe problem with these american HC documentaries is that they are employ certain stylistic means which make them impossible to watch for me.
- dredmorbius 12y agoWhat stylistic means, if you don't mind my asking?
- bwaxxlo 12y agoOvertly bias portrayals to an extent that it becomes celebratory in nature. While I can understand the need to do so, it has become so ingrained that it is impossible find any historically objective documentary that allows viewers to understand the mindset of the period.
- dredmorbius 12y agoThanks. So, hagiographic? Or just plain biased.
