3.0 out of 5 stars a half-hearted attempt for an american classic, December 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biography - Mark Twain [VHS] (VHS Tape)

the graphics are weak, using book illustrations to illustrate much of the narrative, they didn't even pick a wide variety, nor the best, but instead we see some of the same sub-standard illustrations over & over. The voice of "Mark Twain" sounds like a geriatric Forrest Gump. And the explanations of his life and decisions are superficial, glossing over the deep contradictions of this intelligent and tormented genius. Still, the interviews with Twain scholars are informative, and one's appetite is whetted to learn more of the this influential american classic.

This review is from: Biography - Mark Twain: His Amazing Adventures (A&E DVD Archives) (DVD)

I purchased this because the local school library only had it in VHS. Money well spent. I learned much I did not know about this remarkable man, and can see the presentation holding the interest of a high school student.
