DVD Reviews of War and Remembrance - Volume 1 - Parts 1-7
DVD Review: War and Remembrance DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I was about 4 years old when WWII began. I remember my parents hooking up the family radio in the car so they could hear the news about Pearl Harbor while driving to my grandma's house in rural Oklahoma. I remember my brother loving his coloring books with pictures of war machines and planes and ships being destroyed. I knew it was horrible somewhere in the world and I didn't want to think about it between then and now. When it was over we were able to buy bubble gum and fluorescent colored shoe laces, and get left-over nylon parachutes to make blouses and underwear. Painful as it still is, I can see now that it is indeed necessary to remember and think about the awful consequences of believing any culture, race or religion is superior to any other, allowing the rants of despots to influence more than common sense, and making war. I would like more people all over the world to see this, or read Herman Wouk's book. Maybe if it were made into a computer game my grandkids would pay attention .... The series is very well done and profound. It's long and takes time to see, but it's worth the time and patience.DVD Review: Remember
Summary: 5 Stars
World War II is in history books and a dying memory for so many. War is not just machines but human suffering and this special shows the best and worst of humanity. DVD Review: I loved this show-I would recommend this to everyone to see.A+
Summary: 5 Stars
All the stars did a remarkable job.
This is a show everyone should see.
The only thing was it left us wondering how Natalie and the baby got out of the concentration camp.
Otherwise it was very well done.

DVD Review: Review of War and Remembrance Vol 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Superlative acting by all of the leading characters. Graphic and realistic protrayal of the Holocaust in all its horror along with the humanizing touch showing the impact on a specific family. This is, along with Vol 2 and the Winds of War, are a must-see for everybody as a reminder of the horrors of war and the incredible heroism and endurance of those who fought to survive and bring down the Nazi war machine. No reasonable and intelligent person can deny the Holocaust and its cost after viewing this. In Blu-Ray? I wonder.
Description of War and Remembrance - Volume 1 - Parts 1-7
Mini series Studio: Mpi Home Video Release Date: 08/31/2004 Starring: Robert Mitchum Hart Cochner Run time: 810 minutesThe ambitious TV event War and Remembrance was the final opus in the golden age of the maxi-miniseries. This six-disc set offers the first half (seven episodes) of ABC's mammoth 30-hour production of Herman Wouk's bestseller--itself a sequel to the landmark Winds of War--mixing fictional and real characters around the events of World War II. It starts a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor and abruptly stops in July 1943 with the fall of Mussolini. Only half of the first series' lead actors return, including Robert Mitchum as the patriarch Captain "Pug" Henry. Although Mitchum is too old and less dashing than he should be, his presence is exactly what the series needs as it wavers between pop entertainment and a graphic look at the atrocities of war. The series' multiple storylines branch from the Henry family tree, from his sons' naval battles to his daughter-in-law's (Jane Seymour) harrowing flight through Europe with her famous father (John Gielgud), witnessing firsthand the collapse of European Jewish life in the grip of Nazi power.
Director Dan Curtis said that after The Winds of War, the opportunity to show the Jews' plight led him to take on another daunting production. He takes the viewer into Auschwitz with unflinching realism (producer and former internee Branko Lustig returned to the subject a decade later with Schindler's List) and is just as deft with a few massive battle sequences combining models with colorized footage. Sometimes the soap opera of the characters' affairs seems pretty sappy, especially with some uneven acting. The DVD set also contains two featurettes from 1988 and 2002. --Doug Thomas
