- Synopsis
- Made to celebrate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014 and narrated by former NBC newsman and "Greatest Generation" chronicler Tom Brokaw, the 42-minute film gives an overview of the War in Europe before detailing the planning and execution of Operation Overlord, the June 6 invasion of Normandy that altered the course of the war and assured an Allied victory.
The film uses spectacular helicopter photography, animated maps, colorized photos, dramatic reenactments and simple "sand animation" sequences to tell the story. Director Pascal Vuong is French, so he makes sure to emphasize the Resistance's oft-overlooked role in D-Day's success.
While the content might only skim the surface of the history of June 6, 1944, the presentation is both innovative and compelling. The filmmakers have kept the blurry archive footage to a minimum and created a presentation that hopefully will engage a new generation of viewers.- Movie Soulmates' ratings
