It's been a long time since I've seen GT, I didn't think it sucked back then but I'd have to re-watch now before I say. Other than the fact it wasn't conan most people don't seem to have a clear reason why it sucked.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
