Movie Reviews of Russia - Land of the Tsars
Movie Review: Good, But Edited From the TV Version
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sure why the History Channel keeps doing this but for some reason they sometimes re-edit their titles for DVD, almost creating a new title in some cases. I thought this documentary was informative and a good primer into Russian history. However, for some reason that cannot be explained, this is another edited title. The most noticeable place was in the Ivan the Terrible segment. It leaves out the parts on TV that showed the painting of Ivan killing his son (which was the appropriate place) and completely leaves out that it started because he beat his son's pregnant wife and probably caused her miscarriage. And in one night, he basically ended the line through his beloved Anastasia. However, it misleadingly acts as if Ivan had no other sons to take over. My other problem was ethnicity. Yet again, the History Channel is using heavily made up white actors to portray characters of different ethincities. In this case, it was Asian. It made the documentary difficult to watch at times because it was rather insulting. But overall, the documentary is worth watching.
