Synopsis
Le documentaire relate la vie à Pompéi et Herculanum dans les vingt-quatre heures qui précèdent leur destruction, imaginant la vie de plusieurs de leurs habitants. À l'exception de Pline l'Ancien et son neveu Pline le Jeune, les personnages mis en scènes sont fictifs, mais correspondent aux restes et traces découverts sur les sites archéologiques. Le film montre en particulier la nature et l'impact des phases successives de l'éruption du Vésuve, reconstituée en images de synthèse, en conformité avec les connaissances volcanologiques d'aujourd'hui, qui confirment la fiabilité du témoignage antique de Pline le Jeune.Actors

Le documentaire évoque d'abord l'unité pendant les épreuves de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et montre que le peuple anglais ne voulait pas en revenir à la douloureuse période de l'entre-deux guerres, très difficile pour les travailleurs. Il s'attache ensuite à montrer le moment clé de la victoire travailliste, et l'espoir qu'elle a constituée. Le grand renversement a lieu avec l'apparition à l'écran de Margaret Thatcher, suivi d'une période présentée comme noire pour les travailleurs.

Why We Fight describes the rise and maintenance of the United States military–industrial complex and its 50-year involvement with the wars led by the United States to date, especially its 2003 Invasion of Iraq. The documentary asserts that in every decade since World War II, the American public was misled so that the government (incumbent Administration) could take them to war and fuel the military-industrial economy maintaining American political dominance in the world. Interviewed about this matter are politician John McCain, political scientist and former CIA analyst Chalmers Johnson, politician Richard Perle, neoconservative commentator William Kristol, writer Gore Vidal, and public policy expert Joseph Cirincione.

The Invisible War features interviews with veterans from multiple branches of the United States Armed Forces who recount the events surrounding their assaults. Their stories show many common themes, such as the lack of recourse to an impartial justice system, reprisals against survivors instead of against perpetrators, the absence of adequate emotional and physical care for survivors, the unhindered advancement of perpetrators' careers, and the forced expulsion of survivors from service.

The film opens with a title card outlining the story of Lidice. It then moves on to an image of the stream running through the village of Cwmgiedd (half a mile from Ystradgynlais in west Wales), and an eight-minute opening sequence interspersed with images and sounds of everyday life in a community in the Upper Swansea Valley; men are shown working at the colliery, women engaged in domestic tasks in their homes and the inhabitants singing in the Methodist chapel. Most of the dialogue in this section is spoken in Welsh, with no subtitles provided. The section closes with another title card stating "such is life at Cwmgiedd...and such too was life in Lidice until the coming of Fascism".

Jugée trop « compatissante » envers les japonais, et coupée au montage par l’État-Major américain, cette reconstitution hautement réaliste reçut néanmoins l’Oscar® du meilleur documentaire en 1943.
