The Sword

Post by Violen »

Has anyone seen this show on SmithsonianHD? Its in the same vein as "Reclaiming the Blade" and honestly i feel its presented better.


If you havent seen it, see if you can find a viewing of it. Seriously!

do you have reclaiming the blade?
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience

Alright, how to quantify this....


1. I am an Educated musician. I do research and read Educated Articles and watch "Educationally directed" documentaries all the time.

2. I watch _Lots_ of music documentarys of various quality as well.

3. I am biased twards good documentarys.


This one gets 3.5 out of 5 stars. The problem is it kind of winds and theres obviously about 4 more hours of material they could have added to the main film and didn't.

I mean dont get me wrong, support your scene, buy the film and a teeshirt.

Its well worth the money, but i feel there was a lot more they could have done with it. The bonuses are nice, but some of the content in the bonus section is down right silly.

Ren it, it was a good watch, but you do not need to own it. Even my old lady got into it. It is a bit light... but fun.

Rent if you can. Buy if you must,


Buy a tee shirt from them more importantly, help support their future endeavors.
