Review title: wdescreen not always best option
Product review: This is an excellent documentary about the rise of militarism in Japan and it's subsequent war against China, the US, and Great Britain. The producers are to be commended for finding much previously unknown color footage. The only drawback is their decision to present it as 16x9 aspect ratio. The result is the top and bottom of the original footage has been lopped off and the remainder greatly expanded to fill the screen, thus emphasizing the graininess and flaws of the footage. I have seen several other documentaries, such as WWW in Color, that take this approach. It tarnishes an otherwise flawless and fascinating documentary.
