DVD Review: An Essential for any Lewis & Clark Buff.
Summary: 5 Stars
This video is essential for anyone who has read either the Journals of L&C, or one of the many accounts of their Journey of Discovery. This film does for the L&C expedition what the movie Ten Commandments did for the biblical story of the Exodus. It leaves you with images to go with all you have read; you could say that it fills in the gaps between what you have read and your imagination. The voice of Hal Holbrook puts it over the top in my book! DVD Review: Exceptional documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thoroughly enjoying this documentary history of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The photography is beautiful; the narrative is perfect: gripping,informative, and enlightening. I have not been disappointed a single moment. Only superlatives come to mind. Another remarkable Ken Burns achievement. DVD Review: Simply.....incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I watched this program on PBS a few years back, it has haunted my dreams and I can't stop thinking about it! If only kids in school today could learn about this voyage the way it really happened (or other historical events the way this is done), we'd have alot more kids interested in getting educated, period. I am so greatful for people like Burns who teach history the way it should be taught, and only regret that I only knew the watered down version they teach in grade school.
I cannot wait to buy myself this for Christmas!
Get and watch it.....you will love it.
DVD Review: Worth the view!
Summary: 5 Stars
An incredible visual experience to document an amazing historical event. You will feel like you were there with the Corps of Discovery at every turn of their adventure.
Description of Lewis & Clark - The Journey of the Corps of Discovery
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 10/20/2005 Director: Ken BurnsAnother reliably well-crafted, generally engrossing documentary from Ken Burns, Lewis & Clark employs the director's now-familiar approach to his subjects, from its elegant juxtaposition of period illustrations and portraits against newly filmed footage of historic sites to Burns's repertory of accomplished actors to provide gravitas for quotes from the key figures. Granted the formula has become familiar enough to allow parody, but Burns knows how to invest his historical investigations with movement and drama, making this four-hour journey a worthwhile trip.
As narrated by Hal Holbrook, Dayton Duncan's script explicates the agenda presented by Thomas Jefferson to Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, placing it in the context of the young country's gamble in Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase, and the expedition's goals for opening the West. While preserving the heroic scale of the undertaking, Burns also finds time to delve into the politics of the venture and the disparate personalities of the two explorers; in particular, Duncan and Burns look at the career of Lewis, the presidential prot?g?, his moody demeanor, and his untimely death. The film also looks beyond its titular leaders to examine the personalities of their corps of soldiers, their boatmen, and the Indians they met and depended on, most notably their female Shosone guide, Sacagawea. --Sam Sutherland
