Movie Reviews of History of US Presidents - America's Greatest Leaders (2-DVD Set)
Movie Review: Surprised by this DVD (in a kinda bad way)
Summary: 2 Stars
I was expecting something quite a bit different, and felt a bit ripped off. Be that as it may, I own it now, and will try and make the best of it with my class. It really should be retitled as, "Some Archival Footage of Presidents" or something more accurate. History of US presidents implies depth and comprehensiveness that isn't present here.
Summary of History of US Presidents - America's Greatest Leaders (2-DVD Set)
The American historian Henry Adams has gone on record as saying that the president "resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek." And it is true that every incumbent of the White House has put his own individual mark on the course of American history. This course, of course, has always been dependent on how each president viewed the exalted office he held. There have been monumental hits and equally monumental misses. There have been presidents who redefined America in a remarkably positive way; there have also been ones who the nation could probably have done without. Most unfortunately, there have been presidents who came with a bang and disappeared with a whimper.Be that as it may, none of their manifestos and proclamations could be faulted to begin with - which is why they rose to the presidency in the first place. Most of their speeches, debates and even offhand remarks have been carefully transcribed, recorded and interpreted for between-the-lines meaning (especially from the historical perspective). It is therefore always refreshing and enlightening, for a variety of reasons, to watch them in verbal action. On these grounds, I can highly commend this fascinating set of DVDs from A2ZCDS - this is live presidential history, and depicts some of our more notable Chief Executives as they were - or hoped to be.
