Movie Reviews of The Crossing
Movie Review: Very well done -- splendid historical drama
Summary: 5 Stars
As our schools manage to do a poorer and poorer job of educating our youth about America, movies like this one can help teach our kids about American history. George Washington was one of the giants of history, and this film is a dramatization of one of his many great achievements -- the Battle of Trenton. Leading a small, discouraged, and cold and hungry American militia Army, Washington took on the finest soldiers in the world and won a great victory. Had he not done so, the American revolutionary cause might well have failed. History correctly records that it was George Washington whose inspired leadership won the Battle of Trenton.
Jeff Daniels does splendidly as George Washington, and the supporting caste is also quite good. The film moves at a brisk pace, never drags, and engages the viewer's interest at all times. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: The Crossing Is Great Historical (Fiction)!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw The Crossing when it first appeared on A&E and loved it. Jeff Daniels plays George Washington just the way I picture the "Father of our Country". Other characters are equally as good and the picture is put together well. I enjoyed seeing the making of the film on the DVD version which I did not have on the VHS version I have owned for years.
One thing nice about the film is that it is 90 minutes long. I am quite often too short on free time to watch a movie but 90 minutes works out real well.
If you are interested in The American Revolution, get a copy of The Crossing. If you like the film, buy the book. It gives you more detail. Then buy the book Washington's Crossing which very good, also.
Movie Review: Outstanding film
Summary: 5 Stars
The music made this terriffic film perfect- it was just excellent. The dvd also contains a behind the scenes special feature -which was good but not great. Jeff Daniels is great as George Washington, and has an excellent supporting cast. I thought the acting and emotion were terrific in portraying what Washington went through.. his army was being crushed and they needed to cross the Delaware and regroup to save the revolution. Good filming- an excellent production.. This is one of my favorite films.Movie Review: Trust Providence, Fight Hard, Never Quit
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding movie. It brings out the terrible situation George Washington and his men were in. No one in their right mind would have bet on them! But, by trusting Providence ( Washington was not a Christian, he was a Deist http://deism.com/washington.htm ), fighting as hard as they could, working together and never giving up, they beat the most powerful army on the planet!
The acting is great and it is put together fine. I really enjoy it and I'm very happy I bought it.
Movie Review: Peter
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! Except for the exploding shells I find it to be very believable and extremely enjoyable. The dialogue is interesting (Howard Fast's work) and the acting is good. The settings and props add to the authenticity.I noticed that the "making of" documentary shows that the movie was shot in widescreen. I am disappointed that the DVD did not have this version.
I hope A&E or others will make more Rev. War movies like this one. Enjoy!!!
