 Very good presentation December 24, 2008
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.

This had a substantial amount of information presented quite coherently, but the backing music almost overwhelmed it.
One of the Best History Channel Productions Ever! August 10, 2008
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.
Saint Bastille's Day: The Birth of Liberty, Equality and a New World Order. August 9, 2008
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.
It helped me get an A! June 21, 2008
This documentary helped me and my study group visualize some of the key characters and main events which sparked and fueled the French Revolution.
Although the movie seemed to miss a few points, it was an overall good summary. Everyone in my study group got an A on our exam of the French Revolution.
If you're taking Western Civilizations in college, get it! It's worth the investment! Oh, and the good thing is, I can watch it over and over again! Another awesome history dvd to add to my collection! Isn't history interesting?
