So, 'How I Filmed The War' is one of those intriguing docs that peels back the layers of Geoffrey H. Malins' work on 'The Battle of the Somme.' It’s not just about the actual footage; it gets into the nitty-gritty of how history is crafted through film. The pacing has a contemplative vibe, almost meditative at times, which really makes you think about the manipulation involved in war narratives. The atmosphere is heavy but thought-provoking, inviting you to consider what we usually take at face value. There’s a clever use of practical effects and archival footage that makes it distinct. This doc really digs into ownership of history – it's a fascinating ride for anyone interested in the art of documentary filmmaking.
