Movie Reviews of American Experience: John and Abigail Adams
Movie Review: An interesting dose of history
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered this item after watching the HBO series "John Adams." Many of the events described were the same, and it was a documentary more than a dramatization like the HBO series. Still, this version had some information that was not included in the series. I would recommend this one both for those who have seen the series and those who have not, including those who might want a shorter version of the same story.
Summary of American Experience: John and Abigail Adams
Relying heavily on the extraordinary correspondence between the second president and his wife, this joint biography sheds light not only on the characters of two remarkable people, but also on the tumultuous times through which they lived. John and Abigail Adams played a critical role in many of the pivotal events of their era: he was a vociferous participant at the Continental Congress; she was an important eye-witness reporter during the Siege of Boston; he was an important war-time emissary to France. This AMERICAN EXPERIENCE reminds us that the Founding Fathers - and Mothers - were not men and women of marble following a script that made independence and American national success a pre-ordained conclusion, but rather real, flawed, multi-dimensional people, who had no idea how things would turn out.Documentary DVD Video
