Movie Reviews of China: A Century of Revolution (Three Disc Set)
Movie Review: China:A Century of Revolution
Summary: 5 Stars
China: A Century of Revolution ranks among the best historical documentaries I've ever seen. It presents a balanced perspective on the history of China during the 20th century. I especially recommend it to teachers for use in the classroom. Selective use of it can significantly improve student learning and interest in the subject. The film is enhanced by the interviews with Chinese from different generations, geographical locations and economic circumstances. Documentary footage from the early 20th century is a plus as is the depiction of China during World War II and the revolution of the 1940s. It carefully examines the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution and emphaizes the terrible toll these movements took on the Chinese people. Finally it provides valuable insights on the transition from Mao and the contributions of Deng. A must for all educators and people with an interest in China.
Summary of China: A Century of Revolution (Three Disc Set)
China: A Century of Revolution is a six-hour tour de force journey through the country's most tumultuous period. First televised on PBS, this award-winning documentary series presents an astonishingly candid view of a once-secret nation with rare archival footage, insightful historical commentary and stunning eyewitness accounts from citizens who struggled through China's most decisive century. China in Revolution charts the pivotal years from the birth of the new republic to the establishment of the PRC, through foreign invasions, civil war and a bloody battle for power between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. The Mao Years examines the turbulent era of Mao's attempts to forge a "new China" from the war-ravaged and exhausted nation. Born Under the Red Flag showcases China's unlikely transformation into an extraordinary hybrid of communist-centralized politics with an ever-expanding free market economy. Monumental in scope, China: A Century of Revolution is critical viewing for anyone interested in this increasingly powerful and globally influential country.DISC ONE Part One: China in Revolution 1911-1949 (1989)
