Movie Reviews of The History Channel Presents The Revolution
Movie Review: Brilliant analysis and presentation of the American Revolution
Summary: 5 Stars
Tragically, many Americans lack an understanding of the ideals and aims of the American Revolution. This presentation by The History Channel is a superb production that succeeds in doing justice to its great theme. Happily, the historian-commentators are much less annoying in this production than they were in "Founding Fathers" and they actually contribute to it, rather than detract. (I truly wish that there was an option in "Founding Fathers" to simply delete the annoying historian-commentators altogether. They were condescending and simply awful.)
The production does a highly creditable job of explaining the American Revolution from its beginnings as a protest against taxation by Britain to a social phenomenon that was to create a new nation. The military campaigns that were necessary to win the Revolution for the Americans are thoroughly, and I think accurately, explained. The re-enactments are very nicely done, and the film also does a very good job of using maps to help the viewer understand some of the military difficulties that both sides faced. Likewise the film uses historical paintings and drawings which enhance the presentation. The narration is simply excellent.
This is an excellent and realistic presentation of the American Revolution to which the discerning viewer will repeatedly return.
