For my second video, I watched a documentary called “World War II: Saving The Reality.” It started out giving the basic facts of WWII like how many years it lasted, in all how many people were killed, and giving the basics of which country was fighting which. It then went in to asking viewers how all of the destruction, hurt, pain, and stories from WWII are going to be looked at, viewed, and interoperated now, and 100 years from now. It then went into showing a place we would later find out to be The Museum of World War II, which is west of Boston, MA, and stating that it has over 6,000 original artifacts from the Second World War.
The man who has been collecting the artifacts says that he did not start collecting right after the war, no one did. That the war being over was a shock to everyone and no one thought that anyone would ever forget about WWII. It then talks about how the Germans saw the end of WWI as a rest of break for them to recoup and then come back to fight again. It has a woman talk that remembers the posters hung up around Germany about how Jews could no longer go to school with her, that Germans were the best, and Germany was the best country. It then talked about how Hitler had a good sense of how to market a war. It then talks about the German war plan, it really just talks out the rest of the war in chronological order with real life examples, shows items from the museum, and goes from the start to the end of the war doing so.
I would give this movie a 9/10. It did a really good job of keeping the story of the war interesting and showing the items from the museum made it neat. Below are pictures of the museum.
