Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe documentary's near non existent interviews with "talking head" pays homage to The World at War, the famed British television series that emphasized narration and archival footage instead of the usual interviews with officials retelling the story. This allows for the audience to follow the story without it getting ahead of them.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Harmontown: Jim Belushi's Basement (2013)
Featured review
Equally brilliant and horrifying
I never knew how little I really knew about our American history until I found out everything that I didn't know. I thought maybe I was just being paranoid about some capitalist conspiracy to exploit and oppress the masses for personal gain or some distorted need for power and control. Even if only 10% of Stone's history was actually true, It turns out that what I thought was already bad enough was just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that 100% may be true is simply horrifying.
This series is absolutely riveting and magnificently written. I found myself repeatedly rewinding to make sure I caught every ounce of information packed into each episode. My only issue with the entire series was I found Oliver Stone's narration very distracting -- his pregnant pauses and melodramatic delivery sounded to me like William Shatner doing a riff of William Shatner as James T Kirk. Nevertheless, this should be required viewing by all Americans, especially in an election year.
