World War 1 in Colour
Per molti decenni, la prima guerra mondiale è sempre stata vista come una guerra in bianco e nero, ma questa non era la realtà. Fu la prima guerra a vedere lo sviluppo dell'aereo da combattimento, l'introduzione del gas velenoso, le invenzioni del carro armato e del lanciafiamme e l'ampio uso delle mitragliatrici e dell'artiglieria pesante, che causarono una tale distruzione di massa.Utilizzando rari filmati d'archivio provenienti da fonti di tutto il mondo, tra cui l'Imperial War Museum britannico, questa serie del 2003 è stata accuratamente colorata utilizzando l'allora più recente tecnologia assistita dal computer per portare la prima guerra mondiale a colori, come vissuta da coloro che l'hanno combattuta e sopportata.Narrata da Kenneth Branagh, questa serie di riferimento porta una prospettiva unica agli eventi del 1914-1918 che hanno visto 65 milioni di uomini prendere le armi l'uno contro l'altro e un mondo gettato nel caos. La guida definitiva alla prima guerra mondiale come non si è mai vista prima.CARATTERISTICHE SPECIALI:50 minuti di speciale in CGI 'Tattiche e strategia'.15 minuti di interviste con il team di produzioneBiografie -
