Movie Reviews of Guns, Germs, and Steel
Movie Review: Simply an Awesome Eye Opener
Summary: 5 Stars
My eyes were open to things that I didnt even know influenced our civilization and culture. This DVD shows that much of the progress and stagnation in our world has been largely due to geographic forces displaying themselves in the form of guns, germs, and steel. This documentary is not law but a look at a very creative yet credible theory on the division between the modern day rich and poor and how they came to be.Movie Review: Guns, Germs, and Steel
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well produced documentary that will give one a good sense of what Jarred Diamond covers in much greater detail in his book of the same title. If you liked the book, you'll enjoy the DVD and vice versa. I have thoroughly enjoyed both. Any student of history will find these concepts fascinating. The visual portrayal on the DVD really brings Dr. Diamond's concepts to life in a very captivating way.Movie Review: Two Thumbs Up
Summary: 5 Stars
The thesis of Guns, Germs and Steel gives the most logical explanation for the inequality in development in the world today. Not based on one group of people being inherently smarter than other groups, but based on a group of people favored by their environment and other factors.....very interesting theory that should be given more study.Movie Review: History of Civilization in a Nutshell
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this video. He doesn't take political sides, tho he does seem sympathetic to the conquered peoples. It's fast-paced with beautiful cinematography; the story of how some human civilizations advanced and conquered others thanks to geography, guns, germs, and steel.Movie Review: Product is great, delivery info from Amazon was way off
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first time that I've had a quoted delivery time from Amazon that didn't hold up. The product arrived 1 week after the promised date. Forced me to have to rent a copy of the dvd because I was showing it to my high school classes.
