Ken Burns' Baseball

Genre: Documentary

Running Time: 1,140 min

Plot: The chronicle of the history of baseball from the beginning to the early 1990's.

Review: Most people now a days don't understand why baseball is considered America's pastime, and Ken Burns displays why this sport is so important in our culture. This documentary allows you to travel through the history of America's sport and how it affected the nation.

Most people consider Football to be America's sport now, and it's true to a certain point, but Baseball has the history and beauty that will last forever. It's a great series and is a must watch if you are a sports fan and love America.

Quote you might say after watching this: "I can't believe I just watched over 1,000 minutes dedicated to baseball!"

Bottled Youth Movie Review Rating: 10/10 bottles

Ken Burns' The Civil War (1990)

Genre: Documentary

Running Time: 680 min

Plot: The chronicle of the most disastrous war in the United States History.

Review: This was made for T.V. and is over four hours long, but entirely worth watching. Ken Burns did a wonderful job as a neutral filmmaker showing the perspective and emotions from both the North and South. Instead of filming corny reenactments like a bad Halloween party, Burns put together wonder narratives and real photos describing the lives of real soldiers. If you are a fan of history or war, this is one of the best documentaries ever made.

Quote you might say after watching this: "I wish I knew this existed while I had to write all of my Civil War papers while I was in school."
