We’re watching a documentary on the World Wars and how World War 1 created what led to World War 2. You get to learn a lot of interesting things about the origins of key players, and it’s interesting seeing all the layers of Hitler’s personality over time and how he decayed into one of History’s worst. I have to say, it has impressive cinematography and acting for a History Channel original, which every documentary I’ve seen from before is filmed like a bad 90s movie.
They film every scene with young Hitler like a comic book villain origin story, which is an interesting style but it can come off as really dramatic in a cheesy way in some parts (considering this is a real guy who actually committed real atrocities) , especially when he cuts off the ends of his mustache and looks directly into the camera for like 10 seconds.
