It was billed as a look in to why Patton's ideas were a problem for post-war American objectives.. and it did cover that subject some. But was a much broader look at Patton's WW2 career
Based on its title, I was hoping for a deeper dive in to theories on Patton's theoretical murder.. which it (only) gave glancing mention to.
A good doc tho for understanding Patton's holistic WW2 experience and viewpoint. Watched on Peacock..
I recommend The African Americans: Many Rivers To Cross, narrated by Henry Gates. It's a long one - eight episodes. But wow! Best documentary I've watched in years. https://www.pbs.org/video/african-am...cross-preview/
Also this one isn't really a DOCUMENTARY though it is a true, true story - The Lost King, about finding Richard 3s body under a car parking lot in England. https://www.imdb.com/video/vi3598565913/
Redeem TV has this free documentary.. a lot of cool footage of beautiful churches & synagogues. It explains some of the history and engineering behind the building of houses of worship. Narrated by the ol' Reading Rainbow's Levar Burton..
Some documentaries are entertaining, and may give the impression of simply presenting fact, but they do not get made unless someone has an axe to grind or there is money to be made. I cannot think of a single documentary that doesn't have some bias. If you run into one that triggers strong emotion in you, know that that was by design. At that point, or after watching, you may want to dig deeper as a skeptic to find the other point(s) of view on the subject. If you think you have been educated by a documentary, you have not. What you have been is indoctrinated into a particular viewpoint.
A 43 minute documentary on what transpired on flight 93. Pretty comprehensive & detailed.. they play actual calls made from the plane, and interview some of the air traffic controllers who took the mayday call. On Hulu..
A (self indulgent) look back on (late 7os/'80s) hardcore punk. Good history of this music genre. Good amount of time spent on the regional scenes & personalities.
But looking back, I think this doc reveals some of punk's flaws. In a lot of instances it was nothing more than nihilism & resentment, masquerading as social critique.. outside of Minor Threat, a lot of these bands had no positive messaging or direction to improve society. A lot of these ex-punks in 2006 were still reminiscing on stupid antics from 25 years earlier. Not much useful political activism ever came from hardcore punk. And I remember from being a fan of hardcore, that it was a very cliquish scene.. punks supposedly were creating a scene free of judgment & exclusion. But punk was often even more cliquish than the jocks & conservatives that had excluded punks.
Punk's hypocrisy & nihilism is a lot clearer to me now as a grown man I guess..
