Watch this movie Everything is Illuminated directed by Liev Schrieber

I read this thread and it makes me feel that your fellow redditor hasn't watched ANY of the documentaries in question. It appears that they are making their decision based on accounts shared with him. So other people's opinions but not his own

My pleasure!

First live X-Men sabertooth is my favorite.

Origins one was cool though.

> I linked a historical scholar who goes piece by piece through the creation of the Nazi laws. They openly discussed US race law in the policy discussions.

OK, and does that meant the US laws were the basis of all of their policies? Answer: it doesn't, may have offered some info.

There's enough blame to go around.

News about the ongoing starvation in Yemen due to the US supported blockade? The people, including kids, being burned and blown up by US weapons?

Nah, just watch a documentary about how large scale murder shouldn't happen again. *Oh yeah, and FDR was good or something.

Love this and grateful that you shared!

the OP said let's not forget the reporters and kids murdered by Israeli forces either and you said they should go and watch the video. So basically what you're saying is we should only watch the suffering of jews. But if anybody reminds apartheid Israel to learn from their own tragedy and not do the same to others, they are anti semite. Basically at this point, calling everybody an anti semite is a bullshit excuse to stop everybody from speaking a word. Keep on spreading the propaganda.

I love the voices of Peter Coyote and David McCullough. Both have done many of Ken Burns' documentaries.

"Because no matter what they do, the next enemy is going to be from within. Thus the eventual outcome of all fly killings and what not like that. Once you get rid of all the external enemy, you have to deal with yourself. So even if you solve all the outside evil you are left with your own, and the evil your parents did to you and the evil that all parents to do all people. Anyway, I like killing flies."

An absolute fucking prophet.

I’ve finished the series already and it was very well done as usual. I didn’t realize antisemitism was THAT bad in the US back then. I mean politicians were just open about it. I also didn’t know that the death camps were known before they found them, or that the British had the knowledge of all the executions of Jewish poles/Russians during the initial blitz. The fact that they were worried about the war being viewed as “being fought for the Jews” is disturbing as well.

This is my absolute favorite documentary on planet earth, and even probably in my top 10 films of all time. It was soooo hard to find a DVD of this documentary. I watched this on Netflix back in the days when streaming was just getting going. Back then there was maybe a few classic films and some kind of meh TV shows on there, but also lots of documentaries and this was one of them.

Let me tell you that I never met Kenny Shopsin, but this dude changed my life, without a doubt.

I’ve thought about keeping my spices in little plastic drawers like he does ever since I watched this. It’s some kind of tool box thing if I recall. Normally for nuts and screws.

what specifically led to your critical appraisal of ‘The War’ and/or ‘The Civil War’?

do you have the same opinion of all of Burns’ documentaries?

Still great as Sabertooth even if the costume and look were wrong.

For some reason, I felt the horror of the holocaust really hits home in this series. We all know about the 6 million Jewish deaths during WWII, but the sheer immensity of the killing is made clear in this series. Germany collectively lost its mind and were killing thousands on a daily basis. Just horrifying.

Burns was inspired to do this doc because of Trump and his Haters

Indeed, it is that rawness that gets to you.

Literally the only one who comes close is Putin, and even then his rise to power was only made possible by the downfall of the communist state (Soviet Union) that also carried out imperialist policies for decades.

Burns and Coyote go together like PBnJ

Amazing. Raw. A lot of real stories. So much growth and maturity and honesty shown even in the small stories.

Oh boy the New York Post? Man you are stupid. It was never “Jewish-free.” It was a policy or by law that SOME student groups adopted about pro-apartheid Israeli speakers not be allowed on campus. The dean said this was not acceptable for students groups to do. This they were struck down.

If you honestly don’t see what’s antisemitic about bringing up the Israel/Palestine conflict randomly in a conversation about the Holocaust, you’re either lacking in education or simply hate Jews. I hope you are the former. Here’s a comparison for you.

In a post about the history of slavery in America, if someone comments about how gun violence is rampant in the black community with the obvious intention to push the narrative that black people are a danger, is that racist? I would say emphatically, yes. It’s a form of demonization and thus, racist bigotry.

That is what we see here in the comment I replied to.
