Movie Reviews of EXPO - Magic of the White City DVD
Movie Review: A piece of history with a personal connection
Summary: 4 Stars
After I read "The Devil in the White City" I gained a renewed interest in the Columbian Exhibiton of 1893. I grew up near Chicago and was aware that members of my family had attended the fair. I was fascinated by the history of the development of the fair and its significance in the life of the country. I also realized that I had in my possession several souveniers of the fair passed down through the family.
The DVD "Magic of the White City" further brought alive the flavor of the fair, well narrated by Gene Wilder.
I bought a copy for each of my three sons from Amazon.com and passed them along with some of the souveniers I found in our collections.
Summary of EXPO - Magic of the White City DVD
Narrated by Gene Wilder, "EXPO - Magic of the White City" brings the Chicago World s Fair to life! Experience the world of 1893 through a cinematic visit to Chicago's Columbian Exposition. Many of the world's greatest achievements in science, technology and culture were unveiled there. Fairgoers enjoyed the Midway Plaisance where a one-mile boulevard of fun offered camel riding, belly dancing, street fighting and beer drinking. Nearly 28 million visited the Fair. Dubbed the "White City," it inspired future innovators such as Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, debuted the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack?, and, in many ways, marked the beginning of the 20th century. Against the backdrop of 1893 s troubles with workers' rights, prejudice, discrimination and corruption, the World s Columbian Exposition cast a brief ray of hope for the future of humanity. Filmed in high definition, "EXPO - Magic of the White City" immerses viewers in one of the world s biggest extravaganzas and one of the most unforgettable events in American history. There will never be another event like it...or will there?
