Liberty! The American Revolution
8 reviews
Pbs Paramount, 2004
Informative and all-inclusive
I have to say that this piece is the most comprehensive film about the American Revolution I have ever seen. Important characters and their influence are well depicted. The best part may be the words in this film since they are quoted really from the speaking and diary in that time. Although the Americans didn't win many battles during the time, the battles they won seem to be decisive. ...

One of the Best History Channel Productions Ever!
The History Channel outdid themselves with the French Revolution series. The series provides outstanding insights from scholars that are interwoven throughout helping to inform viewers of historically relevant events. It would have been a real shame had the History Channel done a poor job on one of the most important periods in history. With that said, they clearly did justice to their name ...

A FIRST RATE DOCUMENTARY...............
AN EXCELLENT OVERVIEW OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR,VERY MUCH IN KEEPING WITH A & E's USUAL HIGH STANDARDS. I ESPECIALLY LIKED ALL THE SEGMENTS ON BENEDICT ARNOLD, WHO PLAYS A MUCH GREATER ROLE IN THE WAR THAN MOST AMERICANS REALIZE,ASIDE FROM HIS TRAITOROUS BEHAVIOR LATE IN THE CONFLICT. A DEFINITE "MUST HAVE " FOR HISTORY BUFFS, IT IS A PROGRAM THAT YOU WILL WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN OVER THE YEARS, ...

An Epic movie on the American Revolution
A GREAT movie! Accurate portrayal of events, passion, patriotism, corruption, hardships - a moving story throughout! The review above doesn't make any justice to the movie itself or this version. The audio is in English and the quality is very good, what else could I ask??? This movie is the most authentic film I have ever seen on this subject. Its use of historical accuracy is unmatched. ...

Clarifying Why This Superb Exploration of China Is Must-See TV for Americans
The basic Amazon description of this DVD is confusing -- and that's unfortunate because this is a terrific selection of three of Susan Williams' four PBS documentaries on China. Contained in this set are "China in Revolution," shown on PBS in 1989; "The Mao Years," shown in 1994 -- and "Born Under the Red Flag," aired in 1997. However, if you're a PBS-and-China watcher, you should know that ...

A Primer On America
It has often been said that you don't know who you are until you know where you have been. The story of the American Revolution comes to life through brilliantly portrayed scenes and narratives. A video is but a thumbnail sketch of all that happened, but it is certainly a primer in terms of preparing the reader for what comes next. I think to truly appreciate that American Revolution, you must ...

Haunting and real, a cinematic work of art
I chose this film over Gibson's The Patriot for my son to view as part of his course on American history and literature, with no regrets. The film has a Dickensian feel - narrow dirty alleys in New York and Philadelphia, rain and mud and overcast skies and rugged raw landscape out in the countryside, fires in nooks and crannies of the old cities in the night, characters on the British and ...

The last in a sequence of 3 movies called Matrix. An interesting conclusion to the sci-fi of the first 2. Intriguing. If you like some mind games in a movie this is for you.

Beautifully done in all respects
This movie was well done on every level. Good script, believable acting, excellent editing, great direction. I really liked the way Jeff Daniels portrayed Washington -- strong, understated and always believable. This movie works on every level and absolutely makes you feel like you're "there". When a historical drama is able to make you feel transported back through time, it has succeeded.

Ignore the nay Sayers, this movie is genius comedy
I first remember seeing this film at age 6. I remember it because not fully understanding history, I thought this was a film about the American Revolution and the climax featured American patriots sacking a palace of George III. I'm surprised there are so many negative reviews of film here on Amazon. The only people I've ever met whom even remember this film remember it because it's one of ...

Russian Revolution in Color
Shanachie, 2007
Excellent Overview of the Russian Revolution & Civil War
The "in color" part of the title refers to colorized original newsreal footage used in the documentary. In addition, the DVD features interview with experts on the period (both English and Russian)and historical re-enactments played out under the narration. All of these elemenents, along with the natural drama of the story, make this a very compelling documentary. The documentary tells the ...

WOW!!!
I purchased this video for my class and after the movie was on for ten min. only 3 out of 27 students were still awake. It is the most boring thing I have ever seen. I have a student teacher and even he fell asleep during this movie. They claim it is a must have for every classroom but if you waste your money on this video you are just plain stupid. I wish someone had warned me about this ...

Worth a viewing!
Orange Revolution is an invigorating film that reaffirmed my faith in the power of the people when it comes to deciding the future of a country. The determination and perseverance of the Ukrainian population inspired me to actually care again about what is going on here in the United States. I don't think the filmmakers were necessarily trying to detail the dirty progression of the election, ...

Video Music, Inc., 2008
Maybe a bit too broad, but I liked it
This documentary attempts to cover the rise of German electronic and experimental music from the 1960s, centered on Kraftwerk. There are perhaps two documentaries here: one an overview of the career of Kraftwerk, and the other the development of native German music. I found the latter more interesting, but I enjoyed it all. If your interest is just in Kraftwerk, you may not get enough out of ...

DO IT NOW
This is a killer DVD even tho most of it already available. The naration/no-naration option is very welcome. The naration is short and un-abtrusive. If you have 1 CLASH dvd this - should be it. If you have 1 music dvd - this should be it. If you 1 dvd - this should be it.

Even Better
1776 is an almost unbelievable musical considering the subject matter upon which it is based. Yet it works and is even better and more informative now that the cuts suggested by President Nixon have been restored. This musical gives a humorous and, at many times, angst producing view of the men who produced one of the great documents of history by showing what they left out of it.

Wonderful presentation on every front!
Michael Tilson Thomas does a fantastic job presenting the musical and social elements that went into this masterpiece of composition. The program is pithy enough for musicians, and accessible enough for music lovers. A very intelligent and entertaining piece of work; beautifully filmed and edited. As a bonus, we get full performance versions of excerpts from "The Firebird" (beautifully ...
