What the Summer Blockbusters taught me about history
August 11, 2011
“X-Men: First Class” presented to us what really happened during the Cuba Missile Crisis.
“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” showed us that the moon landing accomplished a very different task than what we were led to believe. Buzz Aldrin said so. You kinda have to believe the man who was there, right? RIGHT?
“Captain America: The First Avenger” displayed an insight into World War II that we would have never known (unless you loosely read the comic books).
I don’t know what “Cowboys and Aliens” taught us about history, but it’s there.
We also need to be afraid of yellow (the color), bosses, monkeys, vampires, and the dark. It’s been a productive summer.
