DVD Reviews of 10 Days That Unexpectedly Changed America (History Channel)
DVD Review: 10 Documentaries That Change Nothing
Summary: 1 Stars
I watched these documentaries on the History Channel, so my comments do not apply to any extra material on the DVDs.
Let me start by saying that I am a fan of the History Channel, and generally enjoy their presentations. I looked forward to "10 Days," and watched it each night. Despite the evocative title, and the exciting events they cover, these documentaries are the worst sort of pedestrian filmmaking I have seen on the History Channel.
The only episodes with any interesting content are those covering the McKinley assassination and Shay's Rebellion. These are interesting both for the relative obscurity of the events they cover, and for the presence of Sarah Vowell's comments in the former, and Bill Plympton's animation in the latter.
As for the others, anyone with any familiarity with the events depicted will learn nothing new from these films. They are dull and hackneyed, showing no filmmaking style, nothing but the most basic facts, and no insightful analysis. "Massacre at Mystic" was particularly poor, repeating every exhausted cliche about the noble American Indian and the rapacious English, and offering little information about the event itself. The others were little better.
This series was a great disappointment. The only person who could benefit from it would be someone who had never seen any historical documentaries, was utterly ignorant of American history, and who was willing to swallow a lot of tired and conventional analysis mixed with sparse presentation of fact.
