Movie Reviews of Founding Fathers
Movie Review: Fun to Watch
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great series. What I especially love about it is that it has lots of historical re-enactments as opposed to scanning over a picture and then having a professor speak and speak and speak (like PBS's "Liberty"...which I found rather boring). Yes, there are a few comments that are less-than-intelligent (like the prozac and everyone being drunk comments), but overall the material provided is quite interesting and the action is engaging for both adults and for children. This first came out when I was an 8th grade American History teacher for at-risk inner-city students. I showed this video to them in parts and they really enjoyed them and learned quite a bit. I now teach upper elementary in a rural area. I have used this with my students as well and we all enjoyed it and learned from it.Movie Review: A great show about America's greatest story
Summary: 5 Stars
This four hour series about the Founding Fathers is truly excellent. It is extremely well written and the actors like Hal Holbrook and James Wood are wonderful! You really get a sense of what these men might have been like. It's also fascinating to see how much they are like today's politicians - both good and bad.I highly recommend it to anyone with a kid studying American history.Movie Review: Wonderful and accurate account of our founding fathers
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely wonderful - well put together - well worth watching.. interesting and accurate! I wrote "Modern Day Gettysburg" and I found this film to be completely well worth my time - will watch it several times, then give it to my grandchildren to watch. Can't say enough good things about it!Movie Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
Certainly the finest documentary every made of Jefferson or any of the founding fathers. It delves into the mind of Jefferson and attempts to see the world through his eyes and emotions. A must see!Movie Review: History Buff
Summary: 5 Stars
I used The Founding Fathers in my classroom for several years. I now bought it on DV to replace the worn VHS. It is a great documentary full of inside info on these great men.
