| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A "Must-Have" for Roosevelt Aficionados |
| You could accuse the producers of this biography of fawning over FDR. In fairness, the presentation includes the less attractive elements of Roosevelt: his guile, his disingenuous nature, and, of course, his love life.
But it still expresses such admiration of Roosevelt's personal courage, wit, intelligence, and leadership qualities. Well, if the shoe fits, wear it. Roosevelt earns the title of "best president of the twentieth century." He saw us through the worst economic events we ever experienced, and through our worst war. Could he have done better? Sure. But Beethoven could have written a better ninth symphony, too. In demonstrating the art of leadership, he was indisputably brilliant - not perfect. I loved the special footage here of Roosevelt's personal life. It is not only inspirational - it also shares the sheer joy of the man's existence in the face of terrible personal crisis and disappointment. Loving life is what it's all about. |
