Mark Twain - A Film Directed by Ken Burns Reviews

---

yet another Ken Burns ode to himself
How many times can one man pan around a still photo? We do not know yet. Every K.B. documentary is as bland and self-glorifying as the last. The voice overs, the predictable music, the lack of insight, the glossing over the dark side of every single topic.
How much more can the American public take of this simplified, sanitized, sacchrine view of history? We do not know yet.

Excellent film
I know I rated this picture just one star, but I just wanted to be next to those who rated it the same. Ken Burns is a master story teller. If you want "just the facts" go to the library. I don't know why he catches flack from some people, but I guess it's their lose. It's hard to believe you could be so wrapped up in a story about any historical figure. I only wish my teachers and proffesors could have kept me this intrested. Amazing.
