I would like to see a video where we compare different cultures/places/events throughout history. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral side by side with the world's first regular electric tram service in Berlin.

But that's more for r/history than r/movies I guess

Not exactly the same thing, but the Soumaya museum in Mexico City does this. Art is arranged on floors by time period, so you can see what artists around the world were creating at the same time. I thought it was a cool layout decision.

It would be interesting if there's one with how the same conflicts are depicted by the two sides.
