The Movies of 2010, Part XVI
41. The Civil War - Ken Burns' mega documentary, watched over the last several days. I'd never seen the whole thing before.
I don't really know what to say. Burns changed the whole vocabulary of historical documentaries. Nowadays, if I see a doc on some historical event, and it doesn't involve slow pans and zooms on black and white photographs, it just feels lame.
And this isn't exactly a news flash, but man alive, the Union had some stupid generals.
