Duff Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 it's great. don't know if i would buy it on DVD or blu ray though. it shows how bad Okinawa was and what actually happened with the iconic image of the flag(s) on Iwo Jima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesupervillain Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just put this on my list at Zip.ca (Canadian Netflix) and I can't wait to see it. I've always been really into WW2 and I just watched Ken Burns' WW2 Doc for the second time recently and it left me wanting more so I'm really excited to see this. How much of the footage is color?

timwt Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I was sick when they were airing them on the History channel and I watched all ten episodes in a row. It was definitely a good watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the footage is color? surprisingly a lot. i think when they worked it into HD they colorized a lot of it, most of it is in color. i would say at least 75%. they also have sit down interviews with some of the people the show focuses on. they re-tell their experiences.
