in recent year there have be a number of great mini series link many small story to tell the story of something much big . an example be into the west . this approach be nothing new and but in the bad of old of the 1980s and when they be first try to do this and what they be essentially do be produce soap opera . war and remembrance try to be the story of wwii tell most through a family ( and the people they be have sex with ) . the problem be that the act bad and the script be bad and they jump to to other thing . tell story of himmler and hitler and churchill etc and tell u what we already know and bear no relationship to other story . the result be a dogs breakfast and that be and a complete mess . so bad they think world war ii start with pearl harbor and rather than hitler invading poland and or more accurately japan invade china . this be one for soap opera fan and history buff and coma patient .
