Movie Reviews of The '70s
Movie Review: This was great
Summary: 5 Stars
I am often told I should have been an activist in the 1960's and 70's. and now I believe it after seeing this show. My favirote character is Eileen and her feminist friends. The mass media (which has done a wonderful job distorting feminism) actually does a wonderful job acknowlleging that yes equality does not mean anti-man. Obviously my favirote historical vingetts (dispersed throughout ala Forrest Gump) are those about the feminist movement. I also thought it was cool her parents accepted her politics and they essentially became a feminist family.
Between the anti-war movement, feminism and environmentalism, this was a really awesome mini-series. I also liked the black panthers community rejuvination and empowerment, but could not stand Kristy the blond party girl . Even though it problaly happened to people living during this time, I can't believe it would take her an entire decade to get her head on straight. If modeling was her fall back career, we never learn what she actually hoped to do with her life.
Even though I (thankfully) am not a conservative Republican, Byron's saga really hit home too. His political idealism fades when he discovers Washington DC is not quite as moral as expected. Considering I am nearing graduation and looking for jobs, I have always interpreted this as a cautionary tale to excercize a healthy amount of skepticism about life. On the plus side, he knew about Eileen's feminist politics and this did not make a difference to him, so kudos to that character.
Movie Review: Better than everyone's giving it credit for!
Summary: 5 Stars
Though this movie would definitally not be a blockbuster if it was released in a movie theatre rather than on tv; that doesn't make it any less of a movie!I think this movie was great! I loved the music; and the cast, as well. Anyone who is going to doubt this movie before watching it is CRAZY! It's really a great movie; and teaches people (particularly teenagers) things that they would normally be bored by (i.e. the Watergate scandal)! And I think that anything that gets kids interested in the history of the U.S. is wonderful.
I think this is a great movie for people of ALL AGES, and I would definitally recommend it to anyone!
Movie Review: What a MOVIE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an amazingly well done and well acted and well thought off movie...All I can say is that if anyone had to try to make a better movie for the same historical period, I have a hard time believing it could be better made...
Congratulations to all who have parteciapated to the making of the movie.
Every actor was great. Superb acting from Amy Smart.
Movie Review: outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
as someone who grew up in the 70's and 80's i was very impressed with this movie(as i was with the 60's). i remember watergate,disco and practically everything else in between. the 70's was a great time and this movie brings that across and is great for anyone who can remember the decade and great for anyone who can't. get the dvd and enjoy!Movie Review: What about the 80's
Summary: 5 Stars
I have both this movie and its counterpart, the 60's and I love them both. They are entertaining and informative and although some may say they are a little long to sit through in one sitting, they keep you intersted and the time flies. My only complaint is that they have not yet come out with "The 80's" I am axiously waiting!
