DVD Reviews of The French Revolution (History Channel)
DVD Review: Overview
Summary: 3 Stars
A decent overview of the revolution. A great deal of the details are missing. Good for learning the basics.DVD Review: Very good presentation
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very good presentation of the French Revolution History. I learned a lot from it. This is very helpful to those who want to know about the French revolution. It shows the chronology of the revolution and depicted the bloody aspect of the revolution.
DVD Review: The French Revolution - History Channel
Summary: 3 Stars
This had a substantial amount of information presented quite coherently, but the backing music almost overwhelmed it. DVD Review: One of the Best History Channel Productions Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
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 and reputation with this outstanding production.
I must say one early reviewer had much sympathy for Marie Antoinette. I can't say I share the same feelings in view of the lack of compassion Ms. Antoinette had towards starving, oppressed French people whom the Royalty hoarded flour from. Such a sympathetic view towards the royals is really a reason why our current culture of King George W. Bush needs to be revolted against. There are too many naive Americans propping up an evil, mentally ill President simply because he has been ordained to be above the law in their view.
DVD Review: Saint Bastille's Day: The Birth of Liberty, Equality and a New World Order.
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary is a visual tour-de-force of world history. It's simply a delight to watch. It's a lively description of major events and leading colourful characters in the French revolution. July 14, 1789 otherwise known as "Saint Bastille's Day",was the beginning of the famed French revolution. A french mob unleashed a social leviathan which cleansed the augean stable. The masses overthrew the misrule and carnage of the feudal system in France. The highlight of the French revolution ushered a new world order of idealism and enlightenment. The world is better for it.
Description of The French Revolution (History Channel)
On July 14, 1789, a mob of angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and seized the King's military stores. A decade of idealism, war, murder, and carnage followed, bringing about the end of feudalism and the rise of equality and a new world order. The French Revolution is a definitive feature-length documentary that encapsulates this heady (and often headless) period in Western civilization. With dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus revealing accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians, The French Revolution vividly unfurls in a maelstrom of violence, discontent, and fundamental change. King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Maximilien Robespierre, and Napoleon Bonaparte lead a cast of thousands in this essential program from THE HISTORY CHANNEL?. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator, Gilmore Girls), The French Revolution explores the legacy that--now more than ever--stands as both a warning and a guidepost to a new millenniumGeneral DVDs
