No doubt, but Burns caught the 'feel' of the Civil war IMO.

Assuming of course that anyone alive today can connect with and translate the vibe of that conflict.

I don't really consider his work Documentaries in the usual sense, more like long winded features or series.

For some reason 'The Civil War' really put the hook in me and created a mood that was hard to dispel.

it's difficult to do justice to such huge subjects; but we saw the Civil War through the eyes of the people who were there, from frontline nurses to eccentric Generals, private soldiers writing letters home with some great photography + music which seemed consistently relevant to the themes he presented
If Burns Civil War was formulaic, it was a very workable + enjoyable formula
