Bill Wurtz compressed the history of Japan into nine minutes. Those nine minutes
fly by as momentous changes happen. He saves time by dispensing with
things like names and dates, because you wouldn’t remember them anyway.
By the time you’re through, you’ll remember just enough to want more.
Wurtz
simplifies huge events into humorous, rapid-fire exchanges, but there
are a couple of times when the narrative just screeches to a halt,
because the subject at hand calls for just that. And it works. This is
an overall masterpiece.
