Negative Positive
Title: selective and biased
Review: Well, I looked at the one star reviews before purchasing and thought they were blowing hot air. However, $60 later I find myself agreeing with them.The West according to Ken Burns, is a revisionist history which takes the phrase "politically correct" to mean "selective historical moments to be presented in a totally biased way".Getting away from the "pc" issue, the film is "choppy" in the extreme with no seeming connection between the 'events' being presented. If you like your history presented 'chronologically' (as I do) then this fails in the extreme.Now I know the liberal/marxist pc colors Ken Burns wears I will avoid anything else by him.One final point - before all you pc-ers start flagging this review down please appreciate I understand events do not occur in a vacuum, and that there is more than one side to a story - however, if you're honest you'll admit that more than one side was not given.
