Movie Reviews of The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns
Movie Review: A Magnificent Achievement
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best documentary films I have ever seen. With skillful use of still photographs and the words actually said by many of the now long-dead partiipants, this is an incredibly moving work of art. This war was a defining momnt in our history and anyone seeking to know how America came to be the country it now is (good and bad) must see this film.Movie Review: American Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This amazing story is like no other. You feel like you really lived through this period of our great nation. I recommend this for every American & history buff. I enjoyed this story telling by Ken Burns. Amazing photographs!!Movie Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this series when new on PBS. I was reading Shelby Foote's three volume set of books "The Civil War", and bought the DVDs to view after I finished the books. The books are unsurpassed, and the DVDs make a perfect accompaniment to them. They provide many period photographs, which are not available in the books. And they also trace the war from beginning to end through the writings of several participants and observers of the war. The narration is excellent, Foote's comments insightful and very helpful, and the character voiceovers are too.
I am thoroughly impressed with both products, and would recommend them without reservation.
Movie Review: The Civil War
Summary: 5 Stars
As everyone already knows, this documentary is excellent. I do wish, however, that the letters and writings read throughout the documentary were identified *all* of the time [name, outfit, etc.] . Also, there could have been some kind of "chapter selection" capability added for searching.Movie Review: PBS THE CIVIL WAR
Summary: 3 Stars
VERY GOOD DVD, MY ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT CERTAIN EXTRA'S, SUCH AS HOW THE THEME SONG WAS PLAYED BY THE MAN AND WOMAN ON A VIOLIN AND GUITAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 5 DISCS, ALL IN ALL THOUGH FOR A CIVIL WAR BUFF IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.
