 Excellence Rules Even if George W. Doesn't Make King, 2008-08-11
No kings in this country though John Adams seriously wanted something not far from one at one point in the process of naming our Commanders in Chief, Presidents. These works will make anyone watching them appreciate the sacrifices made by not only the Founding Fathers, but the Founding Mothers and Founding Siblings. These folks are portrayed in naked reality, the good, the bad and the ugly. Be prepared to watch this riveting series front to back.
David McCullough has created a wonderful biography of #2 and hats off to him for it. What an amazing guy to have done all the research he did and how dynamically and beautifully done the cinematography was, too. The collaboration between him and HBO's people made for one awe inspiring depiction of what were truly tumultuous times.
The acting is excellent. Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney are such incredibly convincing actors. They are simply the tops! One could do far worse than to see this movie. The sound track is worth buying, too. The orchestrations are first rate and play to the period. John Adams Composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works.
The stories about the writing of the book and the making of the movie are well worth watching. It will make the tyros among us appreciate all the more the great efforts made by the folks who work on these productions.
This material is great enough to make non-historians wannabe historians! Highly recommended! If ever you thought American history was boring, this movie will change your mind. Compliments to Tom Hanks for making a great investment in making Hollywood the most it can be!
John Adams never seemed so cool!, 2008-08-11

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD WATCH!!!, 2008-08-10
Wonderful, wonderful, mini-series. Every American should watch this!!
Factual account, great acting, time well spent to remember what our forefathers endured for our freedom. So many people throw our liberties around (and away) like they can be bought at the nearest convenience store.
history in the making, 2008-08-10
An excellent portrayal of our country's struggle for freedom. I think everyone in Washington DC should see it, because we have strayed off of course(just a little).
