H.G. Wells War With The World (UK BBC DocuDrama 2006)

HG Wells - War with the World tells the extraordinary true story of HG Wells, the prophetic writer and father of modern science fiction.

Like the other films (George Orwell, Agatha Christie, Ian Fleming, Elizabeth David) in this critically acclaimed and award-winning biography strand, HG Wells takes a bold and innovative approach to dramatising the story of the author's life, by using HG Wells' own words.

HG Wells wrote his four best-known works, The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and the Island of Dr Moreau in the space of just four years from the age of 29. His fame only increased with the eerily prophetic non-fiction writing which followed. Wells predicted the invention of tanks, nuclear war, biological warfare, television and the internet. Wells' celebrity status enabled his pursuit of free love, winning him lovers like novelist Rebecca West and the enigmatic Russian Moura Budberg. It also gave him unprecedented access to world leaders like Roosevelt and Stalin.

A Life in Pictures tells the story of Wells' transformation from self-confident womaniser, socialist radical and young literary prophet to burdened missionary, dedicated to creating a World State that will avert man's headlong course towards imminent annihilation.

[MrAzdaz]

H.G wells supported in some cases but opposed in other cases british imperialism.His involvement and opposition to some of the views of the Fabian secret society forerunner of the U.N mindset and his support for a one world government leave his intentions under question.A confused idealist?Most of his predictions could easily be misconstrued or interpreted as insider knowledge for most of the major world events from 1900-1945.More specifically the first and second world wars.Who knows?

[KronnangDunn]

H.G. Wells was really a gentleman from the future... in most aspects he belonged to another era... not this primitive ignorance-ridden dark times we are facing right now...
