fine entry level doc
13 July 2019
It's a five part documentary series titled Fury, Fear, Hell, Rage, and Deliverance. It's almost four and a half hour. It's the standard overview of the global war. It's a French and Canadian co-production which has a tendency of mentioning those countries. The black and white footage has been lightly colorized and foley artists have added sound. It's especially important to see the real colors of the uniforms. It's a bit old fashion but it is interesting to see the war done this way. For example, I always assumed the war to start quickly after the assassination. Told this way, it seems to be a rolling start as Europe's royalty sleepwalks into it after a month. It's not at the level of Ken Burns' Civil War. It's too standard for that. It also has a small anti-war slant which does infiltrate the series. This is perfectly fine for entry level history students.
