VHS Movie Reviews of Biography of the Millennium: 100 People -1000 years [VHS]
Movie Review: Purveyors of left-wing extremism, entertainers, and AIDS patients are among the greatest 100?
Summary: 1 Stars
While they got some of the great ones right, they showed such liberal bias and love of entertainers, that this list could not possibly be representative of the truly great and important people of the last millennium!
Summary of Biography of the Millennium: 100 People -1000 years [VHS]
They are our greatest scientists and artists. Our most admired thinkers and dreamers. From revolutionaries to saints, explorers to philosophers, this epic set counts down the 100 most influential people of the past 1,000 years. To assemble this landmark program, BIOGRAPHY. conducted a survey of scholars, scientists, journalists, artists and viewers. Among those asked to rank the 100 most important people of the millennium were Henry Kissinger, Kofi Annan, Isaac Stern, David Remnick and Bob Ballard. BIOGRAPHY then tabulated the results and produced a mini-profile of each of the 100 people who made the final list. The result is a fascinating, whirlwind tour through history, a kaleidoscopic landscape of the personalities who have shaped the world. And the countdown format eventually reveals the individual BIOGRAPHY has chosen as the "Person of the Millennium." From Genghis Khan to Thomas Edison, Bill Gates to Margaret Sanger--these are the people who have done the most to shape our world today.Choosing the 100 greatest people of the past millennium is an audacious task and one that's pretty much guaranteed to invite criticism and dispute. As General Norman Schwartzkopf asks in Biography of the Millennium, how can you possibly rank these folks? But choose and rank is what A&E does, as they count down the 100 most influential people of the past 1,000 years until they reach the single individual named the person of the millennium. Writers, philosophers, artists, musicians, politicians, monarchs, inventors, explorers grace this list, and modern luminaries comment on the selections. Without giving away too many of the surprises (and these are in no particular order), we will say that Dr.?Ruth and Gloria Steinem give thoughts about Margaret Sanger; C.?Everett Koop explains the work of William Harvey; David Remnick, author of Lenin's Tomb and editor of The New Yorker, discusses Karl Marx; and Richard Holbrooke looks at Mikhail Gorbachev. Many of the selections are bold; some will appear obvious. But regardless, this special Biography is captivating viewing and a great launching pad for an evening of friendly debate. --Jenny Brown
