Movie Reviews of Benjamin Franklin
Movie Review: All about the Benjamin
Summary: 5 Stars
The video was awesome. The acting was awesome. Even if you had no interest in this guy, by the end of the DVD you want to read everything you can about this amazing man. BF was well ahead of his time! Born with no social rank whatsoever, his insatiable desire to learn & his vast intellect allowed him to rub elbows with kings, heads of states, scientists, philosophers, musicians, literary giants..and every other walk of life you can possibly imagine.
Make this video a part of your American History collection - it entertains as well as educate.
Movie Review: A Bolt of Lightning
Summary: 5 Stars
Does excellent justice to the man who won the Revolution. Changes your mind about the relative merits of the Founding Fathers. That he was one of the greatest men who ever lived comes as an afterthought (many afterthoughts here). A thoroughly human human being. Does not stint his science. All actors here are superb. Perhaps a few too many professors, but even they outdo themselves. Terrific humor, tragedy. Best thing ever seen on PBS. Do not miss the opening scene!Movie Review: Excellent acting by Easton
Summary: 5 Stars
As with the PBS series Liberty!, this documentary uses actors donning costumes and delivering dialogue from actual letters. You will never find a more lively performance than by Richard Easton as Franklin. He will make you believe he really is BJ; there should be some kind of award for this performance because you will not find better acting in any current television show (or film) than by this master of the art.Movie Review: Captivating videography
Summary: 5 Stars
This video was ordered because of my son's school project. We didn't think that we would actually enjoy it so much. The story was told so well, and presented a character that spoke as if Benjamin and an actress that represented his wife. You really got the feeling of knowing and loving Benjamin Franklin. I can't wait to watch it again and I hope that my other son will someday have to do the same project.Movie Review: One of the best video biographies on Ben done.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the very best video biographies on Ben Franklin I have ever seen. It goes beyond quotes and images and (thanks to Mr. Easton's marvelous portrayal) the audience is treated to a very deep and thorough understanding of this complex "human multitude"*
If you only have one Vid Bio on Ben, make it this one.
