After tackling the truly American subjects of jazz and baseball, award-winning documentarian Ken Burns returns to our country's military history with THE WAR. His acclaimed 1991 series, THE CIVIL WAR, was devoted to the War Between the States, while this 2007 production pays the same amount of care and attention to World War II. Rather than keeping THE WAR on the frontlines, Burns and his fellow director Lynn Novick also explore life on the homefront in four towns: Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and Luverne, Minnesota. Keith David, who also lent his baritone to KEN BURNS' JAZZ, narrates this documentary series, while actors such as Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Lucas, and Adam Arkin give readings of historical accounts of those who fought on the other side of the world, as well as those who were fighting in their own way back home. Minimize

Product Description

 
After tackling the truly American subjects of jazz and baseball, award-winning documentarian Ken Burns returns to our country's military history with THE WAR. His acclaimed 1991 series, THE CIVIL WAR, was devoted to the War Between the States, while this 2007 production pays the same amount of care and attention to World War II. Rather than keeping THE WAR on the frontlines, Burns and his fellow director Lynn Novick also explore life on the homefront in four towns: Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and Luverne, Minnesota. Keith David, who also lent his baritone to KEN BURNS' JAZZ, narrates this documentary series, while actors such as Tom Hanks, Samuel L. Jackson, Josh Lucas, and Adam Arkin give readings of historical accounts of those who fought on the other side of the world, as well as those who were fighting in their own way back home.

"The Second World War brought out the best and the worst in a generation...."

by   alexdg1 ,  Nov 10, 2007
Pros: Personal recollections, Burns' use of stills and footage from the period, nifty musical score
Cons: Other than those mentioned in the review, none
The Bottom Line: Perhaps one of the most intimate documentaries about World War II from a purely American viewpoint, Ken Burns' The War is a worthy successor to The Civil War.
Review: One of the most amazing things about the synergy between technology and marketing in the 21st Century is how quickly legitimate (as opposed to bootleg) DVDs of truly successful theatrical movies and television shows are released. Before the advent ...

Ken Burns Presents: The War

by   three_ster ,  Oct 22, 2007
Pros: extremely well done, great research, very in-depth, intelligent presentation
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: Ken Burns really out-did himself with this documentary covering the American experience both home and abroad during WWII.
Review: After a grueling six years of research and compilation of information, Director Ken Burns finally completed his long awaited documentary on World War II. Titled The War the film is a deconstruction of the impact that the second world war had on ...
