★★★★ · GLORIOUS CONCRETE · Spuzz · 2022-08-16
I don't wanna say this is hilarious and shortsighted, because it's all in good intentions. But concrete as outdoor decoration CAN look good. But this is the 60's, so all that concrete building work that LOOKS good now, is just an eyesore now. Host shows the many types, patterns and density of concrete used, and shows many, maaaany examples of bunkers (not actual ones, but you know what I mean). Fun! And is reccomended!

A great sales pitch (despite the distracting accent) for cement in home use in an attractively shot film. The blocks are photogenic. In real life, though, they're tacky and cheap-looking when used as shelving in homes, and get really dirty after awhile outdoors (and bits of cement chip off). One office building down the street from me built in the early 60s got rid of all its cement decorative facing for that reason. There are no credits.
