DVD Reviews of Investigating History: Billy the Kid
DVD Review: Don't waste your time
Summary: 2 Stars
A dated, typical, History Channel Production. The quality of the dvd is poor, and offers no special features. I have tried to watch this on more than one occasion, and couldn' finish it. Besides that, the subtext of the program is not to illustrate the life of William Bonney, but to make a "what if" and call it a documentary. It is rife with conspiracies, did Bonney escape? Who was Brushy Bill? Not only that, but it's interpretation of events following the Lincoln county war, including the terrible and not only boring, but confusingly shot reenactments, leave something to be desired. The History channel productions should have a large warning label stating that they are for "entertainment purpose", as they certainly lack in "historical value". Besides the shoddy reenactments done with dramtic effect of slow motion shots that could have been done with home video camcorder they feature the typical close up ofstock pictures on Billy th Kid, while they speculate on whether they should dig p whatever remainsmay still be in his grave,to compare DNA with that of the grave of his mother. All the while entirely missing the point as to why Billy the Kid became a legend in the first place. Many History channel programs appear to have been made with as small a budget as possible, just to have something to sell for more money than it's worth. Finally, there is nothing new in this "documentary", to add is saying about Billy the Kid, that hasn't been said somewhere else. The only high points, are seeing the expert witnesses on Billy the Kid, who appear in other programs about him as well, and even they seem to be irritated with the course of direction the shows' producers wanted to take with their film.
