DVD Reviews of The History Channel Presents The Revolution
DVD Review: A wonderful supplement for Colonial history/literature classes
Summary: 5 Stars
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; 'tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."
Thomas Paine's words are as essential today as they were more than two hundred years ago and this series is well worth your time if you have any interest in the American Revolution. Ken Burns' legacy as the father of modern documentary is felt throughout the 13 hours that comprise this splendid series by the History Channel; the combination of historical commentary, dramatic recreation, and maps detailing troop movements gives the viewer a supreb overview of the period driven by the revolutionary spirit of Rousseau, Locke, and Jefferson.
If there is any shortcoming to this series it is the fact that 13 hours is simply too little. I guess I'm never satisfied, but there's more to any story than meets the camera's eye...
DVD Review: Best Historical Documentary I've Seen In Years
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of American Revolutionary History for many years and so after joining Netflix, I ordered this documentary to see if I would like it. I only had to watch one or two episodes before I knew I was going to love this series. It has provided me with the clearest and most comprehensive understanding of the Revolution of anything I've studied so far, and I think the history and narrative are very honest and fair in their accuracy--not just another remake by some liberal with an underlying agenda of destroying our faith in our founding fathers and the revolutionary patriots who gave their lives to create the greatest, most free nation ever known on earth. Not sure why one reviewer said the DVD quality was poor because my DVDs are gorgeous to watch on a 1080p hi definition TV. I love the homes and architecture of the early American colonies. While there is no actual talking by anyone acting in this documentary, the readers and experts who do talk are very professional and make it interesting to watch. If you love American Revolutionary history or know someone who does, this would indeed make a great gift--for them or for yourself. Enjoy. I love it and very highly recommend it. I will wear these DVDs out as I watch them over and over again!DVD Review: Well Done, Engaging, Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
Who ever said watching TV isn't good for you?
If you watch this series, you'll learn so much about our brave American founding fathers and what Independence Day is really about. You'll know why George Washington was the first president of these United States and have a greater sense of what that means.
I'd say something like this is a must see for all Americans.
DVD Review: A Primer On America
Summary: 5 Stars
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 see it and read about it from many different sources, both revolutionists and loyalists to get a real feel and understanding of what actually took place and why. View it and enjoy this DVD series, then begin the great adventure of reading about the American Revolution. All the materials available is like a great buffet and each selection tastes great.DVD Review: HC: The Revolution
Summary: 5 Stars
An in-depth coverage of the American Revolution. I like the live reenactments at Valley Forge, etc. I will show some segments of this for my history class, but it would be much too long to show in its entirety.
