Review of 1776 (1972) by Stephanie M — 10 Nov 2009
You'll either love this movie or hate. I am of the love it variety. It's such a nerdy fun good time. Yeah, it's your middle school textbook version of what happeend and it doesn't delve into too much complexity of the historical times but it's pretty good at getting the facts down and I think William Daniels is GREAT at pulling off the passionate but unlikeable John Adams and the songs are flat out amazing.
Mama, Look Sharp is one of the most haunting songs about the horror of war that I've ever heard and the duets between John and Abigail are really sweet and highlight what an absolutely interesting and fascinating relationship of intellectual equals the two really had.
