I "subscribed" to showtime for this series after watching a couple of episodes of Stone's series on line.
I already have the book as well as 'the book of the film JFK'.
Zack Sklar not to be overlooked.
IMO: film makers like Stone don't come around often enough.
Scorsese too. and others to be sure. Billy Wilder and Frank Capra too and more still ........
Mr. Stone's views? Not so important to me. My views come from more than one place.
I like all Stone's films and "Platoon" I had to walk out on when I first saw it in a theater in first run here.
Too close to home. Not a comment on the film.
Not time for that then.
I made up for this by buying the DvD later.
The kicker for showtime was when I found I could get "Hearts and Minds" (1974?) too!
If I got the service before the 25th. So I did.
I'm glad to replace the old faded VCR copy of this doc. Widescreen to boot.
It can be amazing what comes of community, eh?
FWIW, my own research of the Freikorps is slowing in summer for two reasons.
First, R/C Sailplane activities and the Nationals in Muncie beginning in a few days.
No I don't fly in the competition but I fly in the free time after the events,
also it is great to get together with Sailplane pilots from all over the world.
Glider Camp is fun....:plane:
Second, I was turned on to "Thy Will Be Done" and it has entranced me.
Dovetailing quite nicely with Prouty and Evica.
