Movie Reviews of Founding Brothers
Movie Review: Become an Easy Expert on the Founding Fathers
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for answers as to how the Federal Bank began,how the branches of gov't or executive offices were created, this is the DVD for you. It is excellently put together. It easy to understand and engagingly presented and narrated. These men, such as Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, Adams & Madison will come to life for you. You will also be introduced to famiiar names such as Aaron Burr, John Jay and John Hancock. The American Revolution is neatly woven through, letting you see how friendships were forged & rifts widened. And it leaves you wanting more! I read the book by J Ellis first however,and it was more interesting & exciting and gave more depth, which videos are usually lacking. Buy the book also and read it while you are watching,before or after!. True History buffs will love it, and you don't HAVE to hold a Doctorate in History to understand it. You will keep saying throughout, "oh, that's why it's that way today!" Well worth the money & the time. You'll watch it more than once. Guaranteed.Movie Review: Astounding.
Summary: 5 Stars
Founding Brothers is a phenomanal DVD. This documentary is one of a kind. Founding Brothers wet my apetite to learn more about this time period and since then, I have read many books on the same subject matter. What makes Founding Brothers so unique, is that it puts the politics of the era in perspective. For example; the myth that the founding fathers cooperated and worked peacefuly to found the single greatest document in American History, the constitution, is not true. These men were passionate, ambitious, and lived with codes of honor that rival American politicking even today. What could drive two outstanding fathers, Hamilton and Burr, to fight a duel to the death? How could the very man who wrote the words "All men are created equal," enslave his own children? And why is there a dark cloud over the Adams presidency? In Founding Brothers, you will find answers to these questions and more as this film takes you into the greatest crisis of American history, even greater then the Civil War.Movie Review: one of the best I've ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the History Channel show FOUNDING FATHERS and thought it was great. FOUNDING BROTHERS is even better. The stories they tell in here just make your jaw drop. I had no idea that their nasty political feuds were as bad as what goes on today - maybe worse. The commentators great at telling what really went on and the images are fun to watch. The guy who plays Thomas Jefferson is his spitting image! They have a bunch of well known actors reading the letters of these men which works pretty well, too.
My main complaint -- I wish it was two hours longer! Kudos to the History Channel and their producers for making this wonderful show. I'm buying DVD's for all my kids.

My husband loves history so this was a perfect Christmas gift for him. I enjoyed watching the show also, but didn't have the time to sit down and watch it all at once like he did. I hope it will be handy for our son's education when appropriate.Movie Review: Great for history class
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is great to watch. It fits what I teach in history. You do not have to show it all just select your scenes. I have the book and have enjoyed this video.
