Movie Reviews of Founding Fathers
Movie Review: A good overview
Summary: 4 Stars
This is definitely an entertaining series on the founding fathers. Very well produced. The series goes into the lives of several of the early patriots and shows how events drew them together and how they were able to make it all work.While the DVD is certainly worth watching, I found myself wishing it had more hard facts. But that's a personal preference. They spent a lot of time on the personal lives but not as much on the actual historical things they did. But it's a minor complaint to be honest.
I think both students and parents will learn a lot about our country through this set and perhaps - perhaps - gain a great appreciation for how truly remarkable the United States is and why we should care about the course this country is heading into.
Movie Review: Excellent Primer
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent primer on the men who founded the United States. It is one of my favorite History Channel series. The stories told are intriguing and they did a good job of connecting the stories to the people in a way that you don't get lost as they jump from one person to another. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because 4 hours simply is not long enough for the subject matter. However, if you aren't looking for all of the details, but just want to gain a better appreciation for them then I would highly reccommned this set.Movie Review: Another fine production by the History Channel
Summary: 4 Stars
Like most of the works by the History Channel, this production is aimed at the general public. It addresses some of the common myths and misconceptions about the founding fathers and gives short profiles of each of them as they emerge into the conflict of the Revolution. It also allows the viewer to experience the Revolution through the eyes of the Founders by using their own words as read by famous actors giving us a sense of how they perceived the world around them.Movie Review: Great way to learn.
Summary: 4 Stars
This helped to shine an unexpected new light on our heritage.... Definetly more real than the way it was presented to me in my youth. A good additional learning tool.
Movie Review: Great for American History buffs
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good dvd for someone who wants to know more about the circumstances that our founding father's were in back in 1776 or there about. I recommend this dvd.
