Review of The '60s (1999) by A B — 19 Oct 2005

[i]The '60s [/i]is an occasionaly entertaining film, most of this entertainment is from laughing at the film. It is extremely uneven, and includes many annoying elements. Take for instance the switch between black & white, and color. If done right, this could of been fairly effective, but because it was done poorly , it turned into a nuisance and only detracted from the already bad experience; much of the film had an odd feel to it. The acting wasn't extremely bad for a made for TV flick, but then again it was downright embarrassing at other times. Many of the events were not coherent, and ending up being confusing. How did this family somehow end up being at every big event during the 1960's? The ending was much too sappy for my tastes; because it was hollywoodized, everything had to turn out right in the end. I would advise you to not waste your time on [i]The '60s[/i] and do something else with your time. On a second, deeper evaluation of [i]The '60s[/i], I agree with Aram, and realized how much worse the movie was. I'm glad I watched this in class, and not on my own time. One reason that I may have forgotten some of the elements was because we watched it over a span of a few days. I think I can safely say that the best part of the movie was the inclusion of Bob Dylan's music.

Final Rating: 23/100.
