彩色英帝国史 (2002)

The British Empire in Colour is a major three part series that examines the history and experience of the British Empire, form the perspectives of both the rulers and the ruled. Using original colour archive film - much of which had never previously been seen - together with personal letters and diary extracts helping to capture the many complexities and contradictions of life in the British Empire.Programme 1: A Tryst With DynastyProgramme 2: The Wind Of ChangeProgramme 3: Legacy 大英帝国带给世界的，到底是文明的开化，还是剥削和掠夺，看英国人自己怎么说很少见的彩色影像，一贯的BBC反帝反殖脑残风格。第二集里很有意思的一个景象，是受检阅的马来抗日武装，同时打着五星旗和青天白日旗简直就是一部“The Decline and Fall of British Empire”，聚焦二十世纪及以后的英属殖民地的历史，直截了当地分析了日不落帝国分崩离析的始末，译为“英帝国史”最恰当，而非所谓的“剑桥英国史”，毕竟英伦岛国与日不落帝国的区别还是比较明显的。看着看着就想到《赛德克巴莱》里的那句“如果文明的代价是卑躬屈膝，那就让你们看看野蛮人的骄傲”。Ugly Racism。甩一条youtube有字幕链接：。Amusement Park has not been developing through decades?
