Movie Review: George Washington's Pursuit of Honor
Summary: 4 Stars
This in an excellent DVD that consists primarily of several reputable historians views of the background of George Washington that led to his acceptance of the awesome responsibility as Commander-in-Chief of the fledgeling American army. The views expressed by the historians cover the period from Washington's initial engagement in the French and Indian Was to his assumption of command of the American Army. Throughout this period Washington was engaged in honing his own image as a gentleman with impecable honor, and the code he lived by reflected that.
I gave this DVD four rather than five stars because I was disappointed it did not cover the period of his youth and formative years, and the influence of that period and his home life that was the background for his character. This is an excellent DVD for all interested in the life of the Father of our Great Nation.
Summary of Pursuit of Honor - The Rise of George Washington
Pursuit of Honor is the most important documentary ever produced about George Washington. Principle photography began in January 2005 and wrapped in June 2006. In the span of 16 months, Paladin accumulated about 50 hours of raw footage in several of America's most precious Colonial-era sites. We walked in the footsteps of Washington, shooting in the Allegheny National Forest, at the Hall of Burgesses, Governor's Palace, and Raleigh Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, inside the historic Wren Building at the College of William & Mary, at the Carlyle House in Alexandria, Virginia, and in the mansion and across acres of lands at George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens. a feature documentary motion picture about George Washington, began in January 2005, with production progressing throughout the year at locations in several states. Pursuit of Honor: The Rise of George Washington explores two dynamic themes: Washington's belief in Providence, and indeed the incredible protection of higher powers that allowed Washington to escape near-death experiences; and the growth of character of a man who shed the shallow vanity of youth in pursuit of honor. George Washington made himself into a man capable of founding the most powerful nation in the world. In Pursuit of Honor we explore his early military career in the French & Indian War and understand how these experiences shaped his approach to the Revolution. We see how his management of Mount Vernon prepared him to administer the Continental Army. Ours is an accessible George Washington not the cold and aloof character portrayed time and again in documentaries produced by PBS or the History Channel.DVD Video
