LA GUERRE DE SECESSION: ATTENTION CHEF D'OEUVRE!
Par SIAM
Cette série sur le conflit le plus meurtrier de l'histoire des Etats-Unis (plus de 600 000 morts) est un véritable chef-d'oeuvre et a reçu maintes récompenses, malheureusement elle n'est pas diffusée en Europe et ne comprend pas de sous-titres! A quand une version zone 2 sous-titrée? Si le succès de son dernier documentaire THE WAR sur la deuxième guerre mondiale diffusé sur ARTE pouvait servir à cela, ce serait bien!

Ken Burns opens some eyes and makes you feel "You are there"
Par bernie
Ken Burns is noted for many find documentaries that leave little out and still keeps your attention. This time we get to set our "way back" machine to 1861 where we start with the cause of the Civil War. Now I know there are many causes for the Civil War as the one that I learned from my economics class was that it was economics. However, Kim Burns gives a more holistic look at what was happening at the time and the indicators that foretold of the war. Each chapter or section of this documentary is approximately an hour long we go through several titles such as "A very Bloody Affair" and "Forever Free 1862".What keeps this film from being a dry documentary is Ken Burns' balance between sounds and sights of the civil war re-created from sketches and extracted from books and drawings. To tie this together we get a talking head presentation from Shelby Foote. Shelby makes you feel like you are right there as he can describe in every detail any piece of the civil war that you care to ask about.One thing not to be overlooked is the voices in this presentation are those of popular actors. So be sure to watch the credits to find out whose voices are being used for which people are portrayed.I do not want to go into too much detail because that is why you are buying this documentary. However, it has something for everybody; for those that already know the Civil War it adds more depth and maybe a different spin on the politics and people of the time. This also works as one of the best introductions far superior to anything that I was able to receive in school history classes.This is also a must background reading for anybody in the military as everyone knows each war is different from the last but attitudes and sometimes knowledge of previous tactics can help carry you through the next.Even though the war is over while watching this documentary, you will find yourself kibitzing.Do not forget to buy the companion book to this film for contains many of the pictures and diagrams that were displayed so that you do not have to put the film back in to see this on the extras. Oh yes do not forget to look at the DVD extras.If like me you were fascinated with the presentation by Shelby Foote, do not forget to buy the three-volume set of civil war books, a narrative By Shelby Foote.The Civil War: An Illustrated HistoryThe Civil War: A Narrative (3 Volume Set)
