For my movie, I choose to watch “WW2 in HD: Darkness Falls”. This movie contained real video from different parts of World War 2. It started out by talking to Jack Wagner, who escaped Hitler’s control and fled to America. The movie then talks about how many countries are invaded by Hitler’s armies. Also, some countries surrender because of this. Next, the movie relives how America got into the war, by starting with the first draft. Real people describe their experiences of how they got into the war. This part also describes how much control and power Hitler has over continental Europe. Next, the movie uses real life radio announces and video to show how the news of Pearl Harbor spread across the country. Facts were also given like 21 U.S. ships were sunk or damaged, 188 aircraft were destroyed, and 2,403 people were killed. Hitler only declared war on one country. The United States. In 1942, Hitler’s U-Boats sunk over 1,000 boats headed for England and the Soviet Union. The last part of the movie describes how the United States invades North Africa and Europe. Also, it talks about how soldiers have troubles fighting in the forests. It says they are nervous because they don’t know when they will get attacked, because that could happen at night. The Japanese are described as the Masters of Surprise.
This was a great documentary. Real life videos and people who fought in WW2 were used to make this video. It makes the movie very interesting. It also makes it different because it adds a real life touch. I would give this movie a 10/10. It was very good at describing many events that took place in WW2 with great detail.
