2.0 out of 5 stars Edison's apologia, October 14, 2000
By 
Theodoros Natsinas (Thessaloniki, Greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Thomas A Edison and His Kinetographic Motion Pictures (Paperback)
This book is very well written, illustrated and produced; also it is a very good introduction on Edison's contribution to motion pictures but, while it doesn't seem to falsify the actual truth, the author, Charles Musser one of the major historians of early cinema development, bends backwards to exonerate Edison's less than savory practices; to present Edison as the "inventor of motion pictures"; to claim the development of cinema for the US; and to make totally unsupported claims that this was a beneficial turn of events for all cinema / motion pictures!
