Movie Reviews of Biography - Mao Tse Tung: China's Peasant Emperor
Movie Review: tabloid?
Summary: 2 Stars
It is tremendously difficult to describe the life of such a world political giant in 50 minutes. Yet this video spend 10% of the time telling stories of Mao's affair with some anonymous girls while many much more important historical events and persons were not even mentioned. The writer counted correctly how many times he married, but failed to say anything about his children.
In summary, this documentary tries to cover both his political life and personal life, but end up getting none.
Summary of Biography - Mao Tse Tung: China's Peasant Emperor
For 25 years Mao Zedong ruled one quarter of the world's population. This is the extraordinary story of a farmer's son who became a God in his life time but in private never shook off his peasant roots; a man who presided over one of the most radical experiments in social reform ever seen in human history but who will be remembered as one of the bloodiest dictators of the twentieth century. This program--told through the accounts of those who have met and studied him, loved and loathed him--includes archive film and pictures going back to the very earliest days of Mao's life, as well as unique film of China at the turn of the century and during key episodes in Mao's communist revolution. It includes harrowing and eye-witness accounts of such momentous events as the cultural revolution, the Great Leap Forward and the most severe man-made famine ever recorded.Documentary DVD Video
