The Men Who Built America Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
My late mother grew up in Pennsylvania in Andrew Carnegie country and used to lament that no one pronounced Carnegie the "correct" way (namely "Car-NAY-gee"). She would be pleased to hear that at least intermittently some people do pronounce it that way, but that's just one of the smaller pleasures that this really quite informative miniseries offers. Full of fascinating anecdotal information, as well as generally solid overviews of each of these icon's lives, The Men Who Built America gives quite a bit of insight into the tenor of the American Spirit in the late 19th and early 20th century, at least insofar as it was embodied in these incredible men. This three disc Blu-ray set offers solid video and audio and comes with some brief but appealing supplements. Highly recommended.

Final Thoughts

A sprawling and sweeping miniseries, 'The Men Who Built America' is a fascinating and terrifically entertaining look at the massive success of entrepreneurs and industrialists in the late 19th Century. Although not as detailed as other documentaries, the eight-part bio-drama is captivating nonetheless as it examines how these four men influenced and shaped capitalism into the 20th Century. The three-disc Blu-ray set comes with an excellent audio and video presentation. While supplements could be stronger, the overall package is still recommended for history buffs.

¿Alguien ha visto esta serie?

Vi el avance un un blu que rente y me latio y a $20 USD creo que no esta mal hacer el intento y mas por que es un titulo de History que generalmente no los traen.

Yo no la he visto, pero al ser de History, ya tienes garantizado un mínimo de calidad...

Entre semana la termine.

Desafortunadamente los resúmenes entre comerciales no fueron editados por lo que la hace muy tediosa por que es una y otra y otra vez lo mismo.

Pensé que era un mini serie pero es mas las biografías empresariales de estos 4 o 5 personajes que catapultaron a USA después de la guerra civil aunque hay personajes caracterizados de época no hay mucha "novela" y este documental mezcla los sucesos de ese tiempo con los comentarios de exitosos hombres de negocio de hoy día.

En conclusión, no dejan de ser muy interesantes las historias y los eventos presentados que terminan con Henry Ford la segunda generación de emprendedores en USA.
