That doesn't mean, to paraphrase President Nixon's infamous line, that it isn't "indeed a great wall." In fact, it's several walls, built over the course of millennia, detailed with some of the most beautiful visuals you could hope to see in this informative two part documentary which aired on the National Geographic Channel. Shot in high-definition, and with a cast of hundreds, if not thousands, China's Great Wall sports a spectacularly high level of production value, enhanced by a sort of epic visual and aural sweep that helps keep it intriguing for most of its 100 minute playing time.Split into two fairly arbitrary episodes, "Mongol Invaders" and "Protecting the Dragon", China's Great Wall traipses back and forth across the centuries detailing both the first halting attempts by the Han Dynasty to build an earthen defensive structure and succeeding additions to the basic structure, culminating in the Ming Dynasty's 16th century stone edifice. Though the Wall is certainly never far from the foreground throughout the documentary, there's actually a fair amount of both historical and sociological information imparted as the story ping-pongs back and forth through various timeframes.China's Great Wall is simply spectacular visually, even when some of the information being imparted gets a bit dry. Relying mostly on some very vivid recreations, most utilizing some very fine costumes and sets, there is always an abundance of beautiful things to see in virtually every frame. A nonstop underscore is similarly impressive, with expressive use of native instruments throughout. The documentary also has some nifty CGI, with my favorite effect being shots of dilapidated watchtowers magically reassembling themselves into what they must have looked like new.[/CODE]Episode 1 - Mongol Invaders[code]http://rapidshare.com/files/188808589/cgwmi1.mkv.001http://rapidshare.com/files/188833628/cgwmi1.mkv.002http://rapidshare.com/files/188857216/cgwmi1.mkv.003http://rapidshare.com/files/188879154/cgwmi1.mkv.004http://rapidshare.com/files/188907479/cgwmi1.mkv.005http://rapidshare.com/files/188928546/cgwmi1.mkv.006http://rapidshare.com/files/188948708/cgwmi1.mkv.007http://rapidshare.com/files/188966499/cgwmi1.mkv.008http://rapidshare.com/files/188982419/cgwmi1.mkv.009http://rapidshare.com/files/188997046/cgwmi1.mkv.010http://rapidshare.com/files/189010492/cgwmi1.mkv.011http://rapidshare.com/files/189024387/cgwmi1.mkv.012http://rapidshare.com/files/189028400/cgwmi1.mkv.013[/code]Episode 2 - Protecting The Dragon[code]http://rapidshare.com/files/189048739/cgwptd2.mkv.001http://rapidshare.com/files/189104692/cgwptd2.mkv.002http://rapidshare.com/files/189124354/cgwptd2.mkv.003http://rapidshare.com/files/189145560/cgwptd2.mkv.004http://rapidshare.com/files/189167255/cgwptd2.mkv.005http://rapidshare.com/files/189189753/cgwptd2.mkv.006http://rapidshare.com/files/189212774/cgwptd2.mkv.007http://rapidshare.com/files/189235747/cgwptd2.mkv.008http://rapidshare.com/files/189259373/cgwptd2.mkv.009http://rapidshare.com/files/189283136/cgwptd2.mkv.010http://rapidshare.com/files/189306789/cgwptd2.mkv.011http://rapidshare.com/files/189330308/cgwptd2.mkv.012http://rapidshare.com/files/189338816/cgwptd2.mkv.013[/code]Join with HjSplit[code]http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#win32[/code]Play with VLC[code]http://www.videolan.org/[/code]No password</blockquote>
