5.0 out of 5 starsRecommended
By D. Speroni on March 18, 2007
Great DVD for anyone that wants to see Walden Pond and learn about Thoreau. Excerpts from the book "Walden" are illustrated with outstanding nature photography of the famous retreat in Massachusetts. The DVD is like a field trip to Walden Pond! As a long time Thoreau fan and teacher, received as gift. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys nature. Also, excellent tool for teaching Thoreau in the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent video!
By David B. Mandell on November 30, 2007
Great for Thoreau fans and as nature video. DVD shows beautiful scenes from Walden Pond in Concord, MA and illustrates key passages from the book "Walden". Provides an excellent overview of Thoreau's famous retreat.

4.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful presentation of Thoreau's words and Walden Pond scenery
By Barbara Miller on December 12, 2008
Verified Purchase
I ordered this DVD in anticipation of teaching an adult education class on Thoreau's Walden. Having lived for many years in the Boston area before moving to the Pacific Northwest, I am familiar with the pond itself but realized that my students might not be. I will admit that the many spectacular nature films available today spoiled me a bit for a full appreciation of some of the images in this DVD, but it does give a very good idea of what the pond looks like in each season, and it avoids showing the bathhouse and swimming beach that were not there when Thoreau was there. The soundtrack consists of the natural sounds from the film, matched with excerpts from Walden, beautifully read by Robert J. Lurtsema, who was a colorful fixture of public radio in Boston when I lived there, now sadly departed.

3.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Visuals, Needs New Narrator
By Rock N. CA on January 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
The scenes from Walden Pond are spectacular. There are seasonal views that go with selected sections of the book and the pictures create a peaceful guide to the area. Unfortunately, the person reading the text is too monotone and sounds bored. It started to drone on and on for me. I would recommend viewing in segments of 5-10 minutes at a time if you buy this DVD. It is better than many things I've bought on the subject, but still not what I'm looking for...

3.0 out of 5 starsPlain Boring!
By Shalizeh on November 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
Not what I was expecting, I thought someone was going to portray Thoureau in his quest for solitude. I got it to teach Transcendentalism, but the narrator voice puts you to sleep after 10 minutes.This video is just narrated, by someone and it shows images of the pond. Not worth $25.00, I heard that the Ballad of Thoureau was better at $19.00. This film didn't have the explanation or the intended understanding of what is "Transcendentalism" it put my students to sleep.
