VHS Movie Reviews of David Attenborough's Private Life of Plants: A Dazzling Kaleidoscope of the Essence of Life on Earth (Six VHS Tape Set) [VHS]
Movie Review: Student Opinion!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, I'm a college student and my plant ecology professor decided to show us these videos. I highly recommend them to any teacher. The representation of the passage of time from a plants perspective is truly enlightening. They manage to speed up and slow down the passage of time when needed to allow you to actually see the changes and growth of plant, noticeably. I found this videos to come to mind quite frequently and I have even been able to apply the knowledge I gained to other plant classes. I'm truly impressed with David Attenborough and his team. Once again, great movies for high school or college science teachers!!Movie Review: Great Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent a lot of money to replace an old homemake TV tape and my classroom parents have paid me back with the first showing. I wish therre was a DVD set too.Movie Review: the private life of plants
Summary: 3 Stars
The private life of plants is a great way to spend an evening. David Attenborough has taken much work and care with presenting the video and talks about the plants in a short but informitive manor. He gives you an overview and and a detailed look at all the plants and tells you where they are situated an the best places for them to live.
As you watch the plants via time lapse you realise that they are not the passive, peaceful and pretty things, that they have a life of their own where each and every plant has a struggle to survive. This becomes clearer as the vidio goes on and it emphisises how essential it is for seeds to get to the right place using the right equipment.
The private life of plants has remarkable photography and videoing skills so that you can follow a plant for several weeks and it is condensed into one minute to show you the different stages of a plants life. I found that the sound effects enhanced the film to make it more thrilling.
Not only was it interesting it also taught me a lot about plants. If you want to find out about plants at home this is the only way to go for its vocabulary is easy for the whole family to understand therefore making it appropriate for everyone. It is also very interesting to watch and learn from at school for it involves the audience more than a text book and makes the information easier to understand. If you are covering the topic of seeds than it is essential you watch the private life of plants.
Movie Review: Marvellous documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
David Attenborough is just great, and this is one of my favorites. Everything about this documentary is well done and interesting. I showed it to my kids - who didn't sound enthused about it - but they were drawn in despite themselves. Movie Review: Nature at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best nature series I've ever seen. If you can buy no other series, buy this one. David Attenborough gives you both an overview and a detailed look at plants. If you thought plants were quiet, uninteresting inhabitants of the planet, these films will change your mind. David Attenborough is a very knowledgable guide who knows where to look for things and he has a splendid crew to do the photography worldwide.
