National Treasure DVD
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich "National Treasure" is a very well-made film, telling a fascinating story, of treasure, history and romance, with a happy ending. Good things about our America, told with great energy.
The charming and entertaining team who led the story last time are coming back soon with a new American adventure. The things that draw people to a film are there: great story, quality workmanship in the details, excellent team in the lead roles. The hint of a series of these films is nice. We like that. A delightful prospect!
The personality "moments", the fun with Treasure Hunts and Clues, and the wholesome story, somehow were just right. I do not buy a lot of DVDs, and not many Disney ones, now that my children grown and my film "homework" is in other directions, but I just loved almost everything about this film.
A "fact-based historical fable" should send family viewers to the libraries, online and off, for exciting, well-motivated learning...because it mixes historical truth with exciting fiction, and can, otherwise, be confusing, and so require parental judgment.
I would not encourage it for younger children for this reason, but once the child is old enough to understand that "National Treasure" is a fictional and entertaining story about non-fictional people, places and things...then it does very well. The main male character is an 8-10 year-old, in the opening scenes...his Grandfather says: "you're old enough, I guess." Old enough is the thing.
I have watched it in follow-up viewings for Christopher Plummer's great mustache and eye-twinkling love of his Grandchild. Just like my own Grandfather. Harvey Keitel's "What about now?"; Justin Bartha's Chaplin kick, intrepid side-kick-ness, even when his smarts and courage are taken for granted...people love him best; Jon Voight's charming Dad-ness; Diane Kruger is new to me, but I "really" liked her, and Nicholas Cage, I like almost always. The villain in this episode was even a favorite, the famous "Sean Bean".
Many entertaining moments in the film are the best - the personalities courageous smart, quick, funny and loving, yet part "Scooby-doo" and "Beavis and Butthead"
There are some who criticize such plots, as classic as they are, because they make it attractive to be in a crazy scenario, with some of its motivators morally questionable...Robin Hood, etc. Another point to discuss with your child. That it provokes talk and thought is correct.
The gender thing - one female, among all the lead players...but
Diane Kreuger handled it well, and was charming, skipped the cheap feminist stuff, and the sex refreshingly subtle and happy ending-ish.
An entire film with no offensive language, and no nude scenes. After the film one is happy and refreshed, not a victim of overkill, though little ones might find the exciting treasure hunt and
adventurous moments "a bit much".
Why did I decide to buy "National Treasure" ? Unique. I did a small artwork, included in a show at the White House, and the film made happy accompaniment when things got surprising, near the end of my work-time on it. The work is archived, my own "national treasure", and I think the film helped my mind with it all, and wind-down afterward. I liked the "Art / Archives" scenes: fascinating and well-done.
Will be "on queue" to see the next episode. Do not always like sequels, as a whole - one "expects" in a sequel. A funny unpleasant pressure, sometimes,
but will view it once.

The movie and the dvd tech are a huge failure to the spectacular story
2 von 3 finden das hilfreich horrible quality of the film itself ruined a spectacular story with amazing scenery and stellar cast.I have a top bluray player that does both blu ray and standard DVDs so it was not my tech.
The item is non-returnable or I would return it.
I read the book and enjoyed the audiobook first and was really looking forward to seeing the wonders of it all in film.
UGH!
Thanks to the poor tech quality of the film I am just glad I knew the story line and the solution to the mystery or the blurring, color-messing, and uncontrollable lighting would have left me in darkness, too.
IN fact, I am a HUGE fan of Sir Sean Connery and bought the thing in honor of his passing. And so my feelings get into this as well. NO FAIR.
Later, when I calmed down, I blushed to realize that the film itself still missed the mark - it was not only the poor tech quality of the dvd that failed to tell the story really well ! So sad - and the story deserved a a "topstuff" telling. There was the opportunity of efficiently describing the scenery and the people and the exciting labyrinthine puzzlebox monastery.
Old days monastery movies stressed the purity and the ones later seemed focused on portraying the primitive lifestyle, the filthy ruled of hygiene in those days and sins of the unholy holy people. Both extremes are lies and both do harm and this is especialy evil when the truth is a wonder! So much good work and so many true healings and miracles and great deeds are slandered in both extreme portrayals.
I calmed down and went back to the book and audiobook and other Sean Connery films.
I accepted the "non-returnable" condition but feel I was cheated....in every way.

This beautifully restored film is most certainly worth it!
The Disc set is a top quality digital restoration - and I can recommend it..both the film and extra special features disc!
But to me it is still the film ON the disc that sold it: the Film that began the Passion for Bond ! "Dr. No " is all "firsts" - Sean Connery , "Albert R. Broccoli" nickname "Cubby" as producer would be soon a popular one at dinners all over the world. And the icon lines ! The woman actually started it: "Trench .....Slyvia Trench" , she said, and he replied "Bond....James Bond" and the rest is history!
America's FBIguy, J. Edgar Hoover would soon be having author Ian Fleming to lunch, to see if any of his neat spy inventions could be truly and practically employed - especially homing devices - the ones we had then failed as soon as the subject entered any busy traffic.
The introduction of the amazing Miss Moneypenny - M - Q -
The first of the super-villains: Joseph Wiseman as the steel-handed Dr. Julius No. The early villains were most certainly patterned on super-villain, Hitler, who had only recently been vanquished. The real James Bond was a spy in WWII and comrade to Fleming.
Two action pals who often re-appear made their debut here, in "Dr. No", too:
Quarrel senior , whose son, Quarrel Jr. goes on to be so handy and brave in action.
And the amazing Felix Leiter - US CIA - in the first film played by Jack Lord, who did not fail the role in any way!
Of course, the most famous of the "firsts" , the iconic Ursula Andress - the first of the Bond Girls - Muse for all the Bond Girls who came after!
There is the sophistication and seriousness of the matter, but there is the appeal to our cowboy-shows child , in that we enjoy the absolute knowledge that our man will win the game!
This Disc production , again, is a fine one and top quality - hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I loved the books, all the films and now the DVDs to entertain and charm me.
