Die #Dokumentation über #Countrymusic auf #arte ist großartig. So viele Namen, von denen ich noch nie gehört habe, so viele Geschichten über einfache Menschen in harten Zeiten.
Und man lernt dazu. Folgender Witz etwa: "Warum haben Baptisten nie Sex im Stehen? Weil die Leute denken könnten, sie tanzen."
[Tanzen gilt als verboten bei den #Baptisten.]

Ich habe die Dokureihe THE WAR schon vor ein paar Jahren gesehen. Sie hat mich damals wegen ihres Detailreichtums unglaublich fasziniert. Seitdem weiß ich auch, was ein "Ken Burns Effekt" ist. Wirklich sehenswert, v.a. weil man die Chronologie der Ereignisse viel besser zu verstehen lernt.
Ken Burns und Lynn Novick erzählen in der 14-stündigen Dokumentation "The War" die Schicksale von Männern und Frauen aus vier amerikanischen Städten.

Bin beruhigt, dass der #LeonardoDaVinci Doku-Zweiteiler bei #ArteDE kein überdramatisierter Schmarrn ist.
EDIT-Ergänz: Ahh, ist ja auch das neue #KenBurns-Werk und kein Wunder, dass da klugen Kenner wie #GuillermoDelToro mitbabbeln.

Just re-watching the greatest documentary ... a quote "The bird of our country is a debilitated chicken, disguised in eagle feathers. We have never been a nation. We are only an aggregate of states, ready to fall apart at the first serious shock. " #KenBurns #TheCivilWar
Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci hinterließ eine Fülle beeindruckender Kunstwerke. In ihnen verbinden sich künstlerisches Können, eine neue Sicht auf die Natur und visionärer Erfindungsgeist. Die zweiteilige Dokumentation wirft einen persönlichen Blick auf Leben und Wirken des Universalgenies und Visionärs.

‘The Alto Knights’ Review: It’s Double the Robert De Niro but Half the Fun in Barry Levinson’s Gimmicky Mafia Drama

Thanks Erik. That is on my list now. #Hemingway was both damaged by war and gloried in the association. The #KenBurns documentary provides some fascinating insight into a complex man who lived an extraordinary life
There will always be those that are greater and better. The thing is to make the effort to create. I’m sure you’ll find many to dispute your take, that’s what makes life interesting.
For my money, #Hemingway captured the restive nature of much of his generation and delivered those ideas in a unique style.
He was a deeply flawed individual which is brilliantly captured in the #KenBurns series on his life

As much as we'd like for Ken Burns to do a documentary on JFK, LBJ is the more interesting choice. 📺
Ken Burns didn’t mean to be your history education: A Dallas visit with the doc master
"We’ve accepted the violence of the Civil War, the violence of World War I and II and Vietnam and Korea. But we’ve protected our Revolution like a bug in amber."

"If you were to do nothing else, it would take 232 hours to watch all his films. All but 2 of those hours were conceived in NH on a plot of land he moved to 45 years ago. He credits this property with allowing him to "raise the dead".
The Land That Allowed Ken Burns to ‘Raise the Dead’
The award-winning filmmaker has slept in the same bedroom for over 4 decades. He credits his home with allowing him to make the films everyone said he couldn’t.

You hear "Leonardo da Vinci" & you think "Oh, that could be interesting", & then you see this man *on fire*. One of the rare occasions when the name fits the person: this Ken really burns. Too short.
