Film World War - Gaith

Overview - An interesting sweep of World War II, as viewed through the lens of film, no documentaries or newsreels. About ten minutes of historical background (mankind’s deep rooted bloodlust), which could have been excised. Following WWII, an afterword which fitted well.

Audio = 128 kbps AAC, 2-Channel stereo. No subs. There is intermittent voiceover.

Narrative - Gaith provides year by year signposts (1940-1941-1942). Viewers who did not snooze during History 101 will tag along fine. Nevertheless, this is, by design, jumpy. In addition, there are few recurring characters to hold onto. There is a chronological timetable, but no narrative.

Enjoyment - To be honest, I watched this, dumbfounded at first, thereafter curious. What the hell was Gaith going to do next, I wondered.

This is a mix of histories, timelines, figures, anecdotes, and sheer fiction.
The first warning came when The Mummy’s Imhotop was referenced.
Followed by the Rocketeer, Indiana Jones, Sherlock Holmes, you get the idea.
Historically accurate? Well, no.
On the other hand, as one gets older, we realize “history” is ofttimes a blend of fact and myth.
This is what Gaith delivered.
Who is to say the Thermians interpretation of Earth history is any better or worse than Gaith’s WWII?
In many ways, this seems like the stepchild to Brother, Can You Spare A Dime (1975).

For whatever reason, this is not on FE (as of today’s date).
Curious to view? PM Gaith direct, or check his thread at FE.
