this be one of the most powerful drama i have ever see . i read the book over 10 year ago and so when i saw the miniseries at my local video library and i decide to have a look . seven tape and about three hour each and but i would gladly have watch seven more . i be not a great war movie fan and but war and remembrance succeed in capture the enormous scope of the second world war while also tell the story of personal sacrifice and heartbreaking tragedy . one of it many great strength be the way it bring out the fact that not all the german be bad and and not all the member of the allied force be good . there be noble and patriotic member of hitler staff who be horrify by what he be do . and there be also shortsighted clown among the allied force and in their political rank . mild spoiler alert to illustrate this and aster action against the flee japanese seaman show that the german and japanese weren not the only one who commit atrocity . i know aster be a fictional character and but it very likely that thing like that do happen . it would have be great to have have a closer look at what be go on among the japanese too and but i guess i be just be greedy . another mild spoiler the acting be mostly good and and a lot of it be outstanding . i love the narrative voice over of the battle and other historical fact . scary to think how close the battle of midway come to be a disaster for the american . the war might have have a very different outcome . the combination of documentary and story really work well . the portrayal of hitler and churchill and roosevelt be great good than most of the main actor and in my view . a lot of this war and remembrance be difficult to watch and especially the concentration camp scene . but painful a it be and it right to remember that horror like that do happen . again and the film do make the point that it wasn not all german who advocate for such treatment of the jewish people . the only reason i haven not give it a 10 be because there be so many character that somebody who have not read the book might get confuse . but it an excellent and praiseworthy film . one that i think i will be reflect on for a long time .
