When you get a guest that is so articulate and knowledgeable and not blowing their own trumpet...I could listen to them all day.
He spent 10 years on the documentary? Holy crap that's so much dedication...
It took as long to make as it did for us to fight and get out.
Ken Burns is perhaps the greatest documentary historian living in the US; his work on the Civil War, the Dust Bowl years, even the history of Jazz, have been widely, and highly, praised... each project he undertakes takes years in research and developed even before filming ...
... and yes, I am fan-boying ... but I have yet to see any documentaries that comes even close to the shere grasp of history he and his team puts together ...
Salt.. yes that is usually what he does.... Check out his previous work.
Kazolias George The US was there from 1955 until 1975= 20 years.
Until I saw the 10 parts, I had no idea how COMPLICATED that war was.
Ken Burns straddles the line between historian and filmmaker, harnessing the strengths of both disciplines. Anyone interested in learning should experience his catalog in it's entirety.
G+OKnameHERE THANKS
I watch Ken Burn's documentaries almost every night while trying to go to sleep and I love them all. There are some I like more than others, obviously but I've probably watched his Civil War series 10+ times in it's entirety.
@@Synthetic-Rabbit For me the Civil War series is calming and moving. Other people read the Bible at difficult times in their lives. I listen to The Civil War. It is reassuring.
He's a genius
spoken like a true journalist 😉
Stop saying "thanks for your service" but say "welcome home, how can we help you?". Yes, I like that.
Me too. It's a lot easier to have an answer for the second one too.
Agreed. The other just makes me feel uncomfortable.
That's always, always been my mindset and attitude in my interactions with veterans.
Gratitude is great, but more than anything, those who serve want to see us expressing the liberty and humanity they fought to secure.
In most case they don't want to discuss their time in conflict. They want to thrive with you.
B. Smith Exactly ...
An maternal uncle (by marrage) served in a Scottish Regiment during the Korean War ... in all the years I knew him, he never uttered a single word about it ... but I can but only imagine the horrors he saw ... hardly surprising he was an alcoholic... but after the death of his wife, he moved to Burma, became a Buddhist, and sobered up ... last time I saw him as at another of my mother's sisters funeral ... and looked pretty well ...
Sadly, he passed away a few years after that, and was cremated there ... but my memory of him is still pretty clear ...
So I agree ... whether it be here in the UK, or in the US, we need to allow those veterans, whether we agree with the war they fought in, or not, to return home, and live amongst us, quietly and with dignity, both in life, and death ...
Actually he didn't say stop saying it. Say both.
Ken Burns and Lynn Novick are national treasures. That documentary series is exceptionally good.
Carlos Quintero I agree. I’ve watched the entire Vietnam documentary three times through and I learn something new each time. It’s a masterpiece.
Ken Burns is a rare breed of truth telling filmmaker. The main victim in the Vietnam war was not the US but ordinary Vietnamese.
This interview ended too soon. Ken Burns is such a delightful, intelligent, and eloquent man.
"Baseball" remains my absolute favorite documentary ever. It made me laugh and cry and get angry and be happy. Ken Burns is a master.
Every time I hear Ken Burns speak, I'm reminded of why his documentaries are so insightful and enthralling. One of the best true life story tellers alive.
I've been watching the series, I'm starting episode 8. It is absolutely heartbreaking. I strongly urge anyone who cares about America, regardless of political stripe, to watch the films. As a nation we really struggle with self-identity. We're in the midst of another moment of history that is almost as monumental to 1968, where we as a nation are trying to define who and what we are. The Vietnam War is an unaddressed psychological wound, America has so many of them in our history, I wish we could find a way to take an unblinking look at our past. We will see our present and our future in there.
great commentary! thank you for this. I wish more people had sense like this.
Wow, Stephen brought to tears huh? Never saw that before. Great stuff, Mr. Burns.
His documentaries are true works of art. They will survive long after we are gone, just like the music of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach (who all wore wigs at times).
Now more than ever, we need to LEARN from our history.. It'd be nice to do so once.
But if history repeats/rhymes and historically we have never learned from our history, does this mean that this (the non-learning) will repeat/rhyme as well?
you blew my mind before I had a chance to light the blunt.. what the hell's the point now!? Bah.
It would be nice to see an actual Vietnam documentary that talked about the 2.5 million Vietnamese killed (murdered) by the USA. Also, about the same number of US veterans killed in Vietnam, committed suicide back home. But Burns' documentary just repeats propaganda: "The Vietnam War was begun by well intentioned men..." Yes, well-intentioned men like Kissinger who said, "kill everything that moves."
The anti-war movement is dead. The US has destroyed Iraq, Libya, Syria and it will destroy Lebanon and Iran too. And nobody in the US cares. They only care about themselves.
Some people care, but they're a tiny minority. Most people are intoxicated with social networks and their mobiles. They have less and less connection to the real world, to other nations, to other peoples, to the ecosystem.
Ken's Vietnam War documentary is fantastic.
I was heartbroken and outraged when in the news years ago was mentioned that a veteran actually froze to death at his own home in the States because he couldn't pay the electricity bill and he was cut off. It still enrages me that something like that could ever happen.
yes, there is injustice everywhere
www.deportedveteranssupporthouse.org/
how does that make you feel?
I don't understand. How can citizens be deported? And being veterans means they joined the army which mandate you are a citizen to begin with. There is something I'm not understanding here and this is the first I hear about that website.
You don't have to be a citizen, many are not and are "promised" citizenship by their recruiters. A lot of times this doesn't happen. Mario Martinez defended the Berlin Wall against the Soviets, he is now on trial to be deported. Lauri Törni fought in the Vietnam War as he was promised citizenship but died in combat. There is a long history of this. A lot happens that no one talks about and the news doesn't cover and people just make assumptions to fill in the rest. According to the US Army more than 8000 join each year (4%). MAVNI has also recruited thousands into the armed forces. As of December 2016, MAVNI is under review and closed indefinitely.
THANKS Steve for the hot tip. Will share that site at G+ right away
A lot of comments on kens hair. As long as he can put together docs like vietnam I don't care if he starts wearing a cinnabon with extra frosting as his hair. If anyone is remotely interested in that part of our history I strongly recommend checking out his work. There is something refreshing about historical works especially in our current political climate, they don't need to take a side, but merely faithfully display the sides and circumstances of days gone by.
empofxeno Carrie Fisher already took the cinnamon bun.
I've seen The Civil War and Prohibition both. They're great documentaries that taught me much about the U.S. Ken Burns and his team are great ambassadors of American culture and history.
Arnulf Günther What nonsense. You sound like a pretentious ninny.
25 likes. So many ninnies on Cobert's YT page tonight. ;)
Angela Siegfried Is that supposed to be funny? You're embarrassing yourself asshat
Thank you for your support
Jazz is also very good I've watched it like 4 times
If his documentary doesn't win a Oscar I'm done.
It has to.
barry klusman It's ineligible unless it gets a theatrical release, so if it isn't nominated or awarded that's not a reflection on quality.
Emmy. It's a TV project, after all.
That's a lot to hope for a television documentary 😂
Sadly, T.V documentaries are not an Oscar category, although his work on the Civil War ought have won a honorary Oscar for its shere breadth and depth... it should be shown in every classroom studying American History...
... that saying, he won both an Emmy and a Peabody at least once, perhaps more ... a rare feat to win each ... so in a way, he has already won the accolades he deserves, although another Peabody & Emmy wouldn't hurt ...
Ken Burns, ladies and gentlemen, a true scholar of history. ...What a great approach to try to gather-up all the different viewpoints, from the Vietnamese to Gold Star mothers so that all the different perspectives and voices can be heard. That takes hard work, but maybe, just maybe, with an approach like that we can learn to have some empathy.
Thank you Mr Burns for all of your captivating documentaries!
I wish he was given more time on the show.
Best interview clip I've seen so far. That's a mind which has been busy.
Served in the Army '71-'74, was lucky to get stationed in Germany. This documentary is excellent.
Love Colbert's Late Show, he has such a great diverse range of guests. I can't imagine this discussion on Fallon.
aisey100 Colbert does what he does and Fallon does what he does. They don't have to be the same
I didn't say they have to be. I have nothing against Fallon. But I do think Colbert is much more versatile.
Lol. These two bastards did nothing special here. 2 corporate Neoliberal douchebags who won't just say America was interfering in other sovereign countries again and again, especially in their elections.
Fallon is plenty versatile. What's great about Fallon is that most of what he does is escapist. We need that in this divided country. We need more things that are less politicized and more just plain fun.
Hey why not. Maybe the stupid part of Ken Burns is also funny...
Is Ken Burns the 5th Beatle?
WhiteKong Maybe the 5th Monkee? Ken is a genius but that hair is ridiculous. He is in his 60s ffs.
WhiteKong I had to pause the video, I was laughing so hard!
Sixth Beatle
that would be Apu
George Best is the 5th Beatle.
In depressing times history rhymes
In TH-cam comments people vomit
We are still interfering with countries abroad? Lol yup.
Ken Burns is an American treasure. He has done more to tell the story of America in his films than anyone else has.
Ken Burns, Bringing Our Nations History Into this Time Makes Him a HERO TODAY! Thank You Sir!
If you read this, read it to the end, because I don't want it to come off as a rude correction.
"History never repeats itself, but it rhymes" has been attributed to Twain for decades despite the fact that it doesn't appear in any of his published works, but it's definitely an excellent quote. However, the cool thing I learned while finding that out was a quote he DID publish in 1874: "History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."
Obviously, that is nowhere near as short, nor does it roll off the tongue as nicely, but DAMN. Is it just me? o_o
Edit: truth is stranger than fiction - or at least sounds cooler.
There's more to truth than simplicity. He says in a simple sentence.
Thank you. Sometimes I think Twain is just as useful as a mythical figure, our homegrown prophet, as he is for what he might actually have said or written. Between him and Ben Franklin were covered for American aphorisms. If one didn't say it, attribute it to the other!
I feel incredibly guilty that I thought Ken Burns was dead until I saw the thumbnail for this interview. That's the most profound shock I've experienced in a while lol
Love his Civil War documentary--I have the complete set on DVD. Everyone should watch it.
I agree, everyone should watch it.
So many people roasting Burns' hair in the comments 😂 What did he do to deserve this??
Its currently on Netflix ... Seen it twice, even his documentary on the Roosevelt's
I didn't know it was on Netflix have to take a look. I am watching on PBS. I lived thru this. I am a Vietnam era vet. I do have to go back and watch the first episode.
I love that series! Watched on Netflix! So good!
"And we can also help to cure the toxicity of this moment."
Hella sound.
I'm not an american and I've watched two episodes of this documentary so far. In this interview , this guy is talking about the the hard learned lessons from decades of war and all people can talk about in the comments is his hair style. No wonder america is going downhill so fast.
Zafar abbas I totally understand what you're saying. It breaks my heart when a folks can't have a mature and enlightened conversation about the real issues without focusing on unrelated details. I believe for many its because dealing with such heavy subjects are is too stark and unpleasant for them. Well in life, everything can't be sanitized and molded for ones personal comfort. I'm an American but I'm not about small mindedness or what I call, " swatting at gnats" . I'm can only hope that you know that not all Americans fall into that group. It's just that there are folks enough in key spots that are influencing & painting really bad pictures.
Zafar abbas, so you assume all "hair" comments were made by (somewhat mature, adult) Americans? No bias at all...
funnymom7 - I imagine that the word is wide enough for serious discourse and Ken Burns hair cracks. Does Zafar abbas think people are so one dimensional that they cannot appreciate the gravitas of Mr. Burns' work and still crack on his hair? They are likely here in the first place because they are admirers of his work.
Life is a Joy. Fun and innocent humor are requirements of life. America is very free spirited country and that is the beauty of its growth. You should not be this serious and conclusive without knowing the culture and customs of the country. Aren't you being judgmental?
Life is joy, fun but War is Hell and should be avoided at any cost, that's the lesson here. Why do you assume that i don't know the culture and customs of the country? Yes there are great things about America that i admire, that is why i cared enough to drop this comment. I said things are going downhill, you'd agree with me If you have been paying attention for the last few years especially after November 8th 2016.
He has an incredible message I hope the people watch and learn
That hair is atrocious but, damn, Ken Burn's passion is infectious.
@ rjcripe... at first I thought Moe Howard just walked out on stage.
I think he draws his powers from the haircut. The worse it is, the better a documentarian he becomes.
Goofy as fuck. This man is a shill for the corrupt wing of the democrats. He is a rich elitist who criticizes progressive politicians who will actually help the poor, working, and middle class. Get fucked, Ken!
ScootMAgoot46 you're talking about colbert right???
@@blackout07blue What the hell? did you even watch his documentaries, he tells it from all sides and paints a beautiful picture that's gut wrenching honesty
This interview should be longer.
I have nothing but amazing respect for Ken Burns...
Been watching the Vietnam doc, great to see both sides of the story. Many families in my Provence are descendants from Dodgers. These families have been a driving force in many communities, and we're lucky to have them.
Listening to Ken talk about civil discourse and whatnot now has me dreaming of a Ken Burns documentary on Star Trek, emphasizing it's impact and ongoing influence in the real world throughout the franchise's history...
That haircut is a travesty but Ken is awesome, very interested in seeing this new documentary. He had an excellent appearance on Sam Harris' podcast a few weeks back.
Batman actually, the haircut almost makes me want to hold someone's hand because I know she loves me, yeah yeah yeah. And I know I should be glad. But seriously. I should watch the Vietnam documentary he produced. Seems like a lot of people were really touched by it.
....an advert for rugs?
I hope I have a magnificent head of hair just like him when I'm his age.
*Get a load of the bald job, Marge.*
I like Ken Burns but don't care for Sam Harris because Harris is a war mongering chicken hawk pretending to be a liberal. Harris mention doing a nuclear weapon strike in the Middle East. Harris is dangerous like Trump.
All in all, Ken Burns is a treasure for PBS. I support PBS and I'm continuing watching Ken Burns films.
I love the old-face-child-haircut Ken Burns got going on. You rock that look Ken. Rock it good.
My opinion of Ken Burns went up ten notches after watching this interview. I'm a veteran of the Vietnam War and was never sent to Vietnam, but was assigned to supporting B-52 missions flying out of Guam during the early 1970's. I had a low draft number and decided to join the U.S.A.F. to avoid being drafted. My dad flew missions in the Army Air Force over Europe during WWII and I was the son of a war hero. I was conflicted about what I should do because I had a brother who was against the Vietnam War. I took the easy route and joined the U.S.A.F. hoping not to go to Vietnam and I also loved airplanes.
Ken Burn's documentary help's bring it full circle and sheds light on our current state of world affairs.
This is the most excited that I've ever seen Ken, during an interview. It's like he did some speed and drank a couple of pots of coffee. He is one of the most relaxed, soft spoken people that I've ever seen. (IMHO) he is also the greatest documentary film maker, *_ever._*. He doesn't rush to production, telling half of the story, while hoping that the info in his film is correct. I always wish that he would do a documentary on Lynyrd Skynyrd, because no one else could tell their story and get it right. But then, I'm a big fan of both, Ken Burns, and pre-crash Skynyrd.
Have you seen the doc 'Muscle Shoals'? It's not all about LS but it is interesting
The legend himself.
If you're a jazz fan, Ken Burn's "Jazz" is the one to watch. History of jazz in a vast chronological order.
Everyone MUST watch his Vietnam Doc....words can't describe how powerful it truly is....
in war, the young and powerless are cannon fodder for the powerful
Such a work Mr. Ken. Thank you very much thousands of times!!!
I love the way Ken Burns speaks, it's didactic but has a clear and compelling narrative impact. I could listen to him all day and remain intrigued. Love that he quoted Twain: "History does not repeat itself but it does rhyme." It sure is rhyming now, right??
Brilliant series. Cheers from Oz.
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme." - Mark Twain
Ken Burns is incapable of making a bad or even mediocre documentary. I have watched several of his documentaries - Vietnam, baseball, Civil War and the Roosevelts and every one of them is excellent. The man could make a documentary about the history of toilets and I would watch all 10 episodes!
When he said "hearing the story from all sides" he mentioned the different Vietnamese factions and obviously Americans but nothing about Australia or New Zealand! who entered the war to help America, even the British (who were very tactically astute up until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan) said no to the war as did canada and when the UK adviced their colleagues in Australia and New Zealand not to get involved they still chose to send troops!, nearly 500 ANZUS troops died in Vietnam
and many thousands were injured but no mention?, I haven't seen the documentary but I hope he at least mentions there contribution!.
They mentioned it in the documentary, but the series isn't over yet I'm sure we will see more of the ANZUS
Hamsaphina
I would hope so, I don't live in the US so will have to wait to watch the series, also (and I don't meet to be a dick here) I think anytime after 1951 they are referred to as ANZUS but the same thing as ANZACS!.
Fixed
Saw the whole serie of it, it's really good.
I've been watching this with my wife who grew up in Hanoi. We're both in our 20's so it's been very interesting for both of us and we've learned a lot.
The documentary is a master piece , even the credits are worth watching .
Me: *open computer*
Me: *see youtube notifications very quickly*
Me: *suddenly see the word "Vietnam" *
Me: DID YOU CALL???
(I am Vietnamese)
Vietnam was some fucking fight. Much respect to the solders who fought in it.
Ken, you are a gift to us all!
It's really telling how the comments so far are about Ken's haircut and not the substance of the interview. That's American attention deficit for ya...
To be fair I've had nothing but respect and admiration for Ken Burns and his work for as long as I have been aware of him... but my god, that hair.
Now hear this, sir, I won't sit idle while you disparage the atte-
Ooh ice cream man, ice cream man!!
I am Dutch and a critical thinker but there are limits. If someone wants to be taken seriously you shouldn't wear a toupet, wig or whatever that is. Besides I know enough about Vietnam. If America had learned from their mistakes they would not have repeated them. And yet America did it again and again.
You're going to dismiss 10 years of research of incredible importance and substance on the basis of his hairstyle. That's just sad.
That's not an American thing, though... People all over the world do it. And how do you know those people commenting on the hair are American?
Wow, that was a way more powerful six minutes and thirty seven seconds than I was expecting.
Burns is probably the greatest documentary style director ever, this captured all sides in all ways, finishing up on this series, it is masterful masterful masterful bravo to him & his team
Ken Burns is a treasure to humanity.
What an elegant and dignified man. Great documentarian.
*Whoa! Ken Burns is a national treasure!*
Amazing work done for this documentary and the parallels are striking to today. It drove me to thank a veteran this past weekend only to discover he was a WWII vet and metal of honor winner. My grandfathers both served in WWII and have past over 10 years ago or more, I was so happy to have the opportunity to let "mi abelos" know through this mans service my appreciation.
Dear KERN BURNS , i thank you for showing me the price my AMERICAN BROTHERS paid in VIET NAM , i will never ever look at a vet the same way ever again, thanks to your film the new generation nows it all , all my respect to every VET , keep up the good work.
I hated how Stephen was rushing Ken given the limited time, so there can be more time for Sofia Vergara's underwear.
But then I remembered this is America that elected Donald Trump.
the handshake at the end means so much deep respect
Incredible! The best historians are not only the most honest who cast the widest net in their search for truth but those who invite healing as well.
To add, instead of saying, "our hopes and prayers", ask, "what can I do to help?"
The whole 18 hours is a must watch! Thank you Ken Burns!
this war is why the Establishment will not allow the news to show the returning caskets of KIA
this documentary should be in everyone's library. such a wonderful, wonderful work!! thank you Ken.
My father was born on March 21st, 1955. He was terrified of being drafted from what he saw on TV and what his maimed friends said when they came back. The draft ended just a few months before he would’ve been sent off.
The terror and misplaced hate, and the complete lack of help given to those that fought...Yes, I would agree we don’t learn from our past and some of us don’t care if we keep ‘rhyming’ it.
just watched the whole documentary... holy hell this was an eye opening, in depth look on what seems to be a turning point in American society and whole generation of people. The dedication and time it took to make this documentary was absolutely worth it, this is no doubt a masterpiece and everyone who is interested in modern history should watch it
the documentary is amazing but soul crushing, so similar to our middle eastern blunders. we learned nothing. sad.
When Americans talk about ANYTHING AT ALL, they usually talk about themselves.
Thank you Mr. Burns for your amazing work and words. Last year I had to watch "The Civil War" for school and I was amazed. You and I have a passion for history. Now I'm looking at film school so I can do what you do.
I hope he lives long enough to make all the documentaries required to teach american history through viewing his documentaries. His work is a lasting contribution to education.
Ken burns I agree with everything you said
“Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. Things fall apart. The center cannot hold.” Robert F. Kennedy quoting Yeats on the Vietnam War
Yup...that sums up the entire war.
I'm following the series....it's like we are re-living the same exact scenarios today.
Very disappointing to see we have not changed.
Surely one of the smartest guests of the show in the past months.
Ken. Really enjoyed yr. Vietnam documentary. Well done. Loved the music
I remember as a child watching the bloodbath of Vietnam War casualties every night on the news. Also I remember the disdain shown to returning troops-- as if the war was their fault. It was bad. There are still many homeless Vietnam veterans.
I saw him in person at the Philly Constitution Center. It was this just an hour longer, very interesting and very cool.
I thought one of the more powerful bits was with the veteran who couldn't believe he was "in [his] prime doing something as terrible as war" or words to that effect
i love the shocked silence of the audience in places
Well stated Mr Burns. My focus on doing what you said. I am starting in my corner of the world.
I watched the vietnam war on the news as a kid. I remembered I was following up especially the events during that time. I followed as closely as I could. The U.S. were fighting for South Vietnam againt the north vietnamese communist.
What a slap in the face ! Burns and everyone involved in the Vietnam War deserved more than 6 minutes !
Good morning;
I have been saying this since the Korean War (yes, I am THAT old!): Those who refuse to read History, or Disregard History, are Doomed to Repeating it. (I think someone famous said that before me...)
Westmoreland completely ignore the teaching of the legendary LAO TZU, the warrior mastermind (his strategies, I believe, are taught in the War College). So Westmoreland threw 525,000 G.I's into the meat grinder -- including a nobody by the name of JOHN McCAIN . 55,000 never came back, walking.
And now, History is repeating itself -- again.
Thanks for your time.
I don't think Colbert is a great interviewer, but he's a brilliant guy. I love the way he just shook Ken Burns hand at the end. He let him have the last word. That's a wise and poignant move by very smart guy.
The bowl cut of this diminutive man is perplexing.
Brilliant. We have much to re-learn.
The division was, and still is between the values of "loyalty"and "intellectualism", the difference between "yes sir!" and "why".
It is an excellent and informative documentary indeed. I liked that they interviewed and addressed all sides of the war and got their perspective as it really fleshed out a lot of the ambiguity about the Vietnam War.
The documentary is the BEST!!! The power of multiple perspectives makes the show a new standard in reporting.
Here is something I would like to suggest, which is an issue that is a common possible misconception: was the Vietnam tragedy really a “war” or an established form of supposed preventative (against the spread of communism) “invasion”?
His closing statement was breathtaking
The toxicity of three years ago is nothing like it is right now, with voting already underway and just days from 3Nov. An extraordinary filmmaker, I have learned so much about America because of Ken Burns.
