As hard as it is to believe, Overlord only depicts a small fraction of the real life carnage, in which roughly 70 million people died. As the movie shows, some people were killed by metal projectiles propelled by compressed gas, while other people died from being set on fire or falling out of airplanes. Before long, it seemed like everybody was wearing matching clothes and trying to kill everybody else, a zeitgeist Overlord recreates in meticulous detail. One of the strangest things about the world of Overlord is that roughly half of the on-screen characters seem dedicated to causing the violent deaths of the other half-even if they’ve never met before! But as bizarre as it sounds, it’s actually based on a true story: In 1939, a group of extremely racist people dressed up in matching outfits, traveled to a different place where some other people were, and killed them. But don’t make the mistake of thinking watching Overlord can substitute for a trip to “La France”-a lot has probably changed there since 1944! For the most part, Overlord gets the little details right: France is known to have have large plants called “trees” with elongated stems known as “trunks,” that are occasionally used to construct dwellings and other structures much like the ones seen in the film. Although the version presented in the film is lightly fictionalized, it turns out there really is a place called France! First settled by hominids millions of years ago, “France” makes up approximately one-tenth of 1 percent of the surface area of the planet the people who live there, chemoheterotrophs known as “the French,” drive on the right side of the road and murdered thousands of Huguenots during the St.
Early in Overlord, one character tells another, “Welcome to France,” a concise way to let the audience know that we’re in a realm where the normal rules don’t apply.
