One of the best "films" I have ever seen. If you get the chance to watch this mini-series...do it! It doesn't matter whether you are a history buff or not...this story is relatable on all levels. Watch it!!!!
@alphacause Keep in mind my well-esteemed sir, Francis Scott Key, a young American lawyer who witnessed the battle of Fort McHenry, wrote the poem which became our national anthem. After being bombarded by British rockets, the "broad stripes and bright stars" of the American flag still waved over Fort McHenry. That was when the British withdrew. Next time you hear our national anthem, listen closely to the words and you will hear of a highly emotional moment in US history.
@ILuvhThtIHateU I am quite familiar with the history of our national anthem. However, when it comes to melody, this theme from the John Adams mini-series evokes, for me, a greater sense of strength and vitality than Key's The Star-Spangled Banner. Lyrics are another matter. On the subject of lyrics, I think we need to modernize them to make them more relevant to today's era. While they may be inspirational to you, I think many find them too antiquated to resonate in their hearts and minds
A true study of history is an examination of both: What people believed and what people did, because belief leads to action. It is also very important to understand the mindset of historical people. Faith and religion is a very important aspect to a person's mindset. To say "Who Cares" about any aspect of history limits oneself in the very purpose of the study.
The epicness of this tv series, the actors, and the music all pulls you into the real experience of what America really was back then, the highest respects are given to our founding fathers through this series and it should be either a must watch or must read for all -currently reading it-
THis soundtrack is amazing let alone the composer! My heart throbs to hear this song. It makes me want to cry for all those patriots that chose to fight with there lives to make are country free! I just hope alot of people hears this song! I feel like i'm actually there watching history happening by the second! I'm so thankful that we had the founding fathers that we did, especially George Washington and John Adams. These people were amazing! I wish i coulhave met them!
HAMILTON?!?! The guy was a fucking fruitcake, imagine if he had become president...he would have declared war on the brits, invaded canada and the west indies and so on. The US might well have fallen as a result.
Greatest nutjob to almost be president, you were damn lucky...
The composer did such an excellent job. You don't even need visuals to know what the music is conveying to you. You can hear the fight inside the music, the struggle, the drums of war... makes me cry every time I hear it.
i repeat what i said before: this mini-series, while excellent in recreating the look of America in the 1770's, along with the makeup and costumes, had many inaccuracies (John Adams' children were actually younger at the time of the Boston Massacre, etc), but the most glaring innaccuracy was the omission of the fact that John Adams & the majority of the Founding Fathers were Christians.
Once again, that wasn't an omission. John Adams was not a Christian, he was a theistic rationalist. He believed in an interventionist God, but like Jefferson, Madison, etc, rejected the divinity of Jesus Christ. Why can't you get that through your head?
We have now, it seems, a national Bible Society, to propagate King James's Bible through all nations. Would it not be better to apply these pious subscriptions to purify Christendom from the corruptions of Christianity than to propagate those corruptions in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America?
Oh indeed. His notion, was essentially, before spreading the faith, clean out the corruptions made to it by mankind.
But recall, just four paragraphs down he adds:
"Conclude not from all this, that I have renounced the Christian Religion, or that I agree with Dupuis in all his Sentiments. Far from it. I see in every Page, Something to recommend Christianity in its Purity, and Something to discredit its Corruptions."
King James Version is at issue here. The version was in many ways a rewrite.
Right, no one is saying Adams rejected the Christian religion, what he rejected was the corruption in it, or the orthodoxy and irrationality that to this day prevails in Christianity. As I said, months ago here, Adams, like Jefferson and Madison were theistic rationalists. Adams viewed religion through reason, and not through the ignorance and superstition that many "Christian Nation" apologists do so today.
@NyloStar While not written by Kings, they were translated by them. Which is why the one we use today is named after King James. In addition, the Bible we have comes courtesy of the council of Nicea, which edited Christian doctrine to the books we have today.
We can certainly see the influence of many generations of men on the scriptures. In a sense they were written by these men. Can you tell me what was cut from the Bible? If people were right to cut it?
@MainiacBrainiac ..Not true at all....King James did commision a Bible based on the Textus Receptus but he had no hand in it's translation...it was translated by dozens of scholars in seperate groups to ensure it's integrity. The preface contains a dedication to the King for supporting the truth founded by the Protestant Reformation. I have some videos on this subject.
Washington, also, was not a Deist. He was Episcopalian who swore the oath of office on the Bible (containing both Old and New Testaments) and added "so help me God", neither of which were called for by the Constitution.
ok you dumb fuck why dont you fucking calm down you piece of shit, you worthless son of a bitch, i wish your father would stop raping his sister so ppl like you would stop being born, fucker.
so what, because of him, we wouldnt have (in my opinion) the best country in the world. He contributed to what we call the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I WILL BE PROUD OF MY FOUNDING FATHERS FOREVER.
Its sad actually, that it is only recently that John Adams has finally been given the recognition, credit and respect he deserves. School taught me nothing about this man; only after my own book thumbing did I learn about him and all he did for this nation.

That wasn't omitted from the miniseries. What was omitted is your mistake believe that the founding fathers all thought like you do. That is IMO, a good omission.
I don't think they omitted John Adams' Christian beliefs. John and Abagail both pray and refer to God a number of time during the series. They didn't make a big deal about it but they didn't omit it either.
What this country needs is the modern-day Thomas Jefferson - Ron Paul. A man with the same convictions and morals as Mr. Adams. We need to restore this great country; Comrade Obama won't be the one to do it because he's just another puppet.

Ron Paul is one of the most Conservative men ever to run on the ticket. He is a xenophobic racist who wants to completely dismantle many social security programs and almost certainly destroy the concept of a public school system. Even comparing him to Thomas Jefferson is an unforgivable disgrace.
The men who fought in the American Revolution were beyond brave. I can't even imagine how they mustered up the courage to do what they did; to defy the odds at all cost and to give this country the freedom it deserved.
This is one of my favorite books and miniseries of all time. Both are so rich and full of the colorful history of the colonial time period. I love it!
I KNEW IT!!!! This is running on More4 in the UK, and I had a feeling they were speeding up the end credits on every episode... and I was right! Thanks!
Only 2 themes can rival this one in their epic'ness, the Halo Chore from the Halo games and the Space Marine theme from Dawn of War. Coming close would be Hell March and the Warcraft theme.
The militants of the time continued to exist after the revolution to this day, and until about 1812 they were the soul defense of the United States on land. After the war of 1812 we begin maintaining an officer core of a regular army due to the infighting in 1812 leading to a collapse of American defenses. The modern descendents of the militants are the State National guard of the 50 different states + our populated territories. Their function continues to be dual.
I for some reason get addicted to theme songs!!!! And this one is no exception!!!!!! Some include "The Good the Bad and the Ugly, The Greatest Game Ever Played, Sherlock Holmes series, Horatio Hornblower series, and many others. The movie doesn't have to be good itself but the themes are amazing!!!
I never thought that buying my dad a fathers day present would make me want to steal it from him XD I've been searching for the soundtrack since I watched the series with my dad. I really want my band director to have us play this music, it's amazing!
Never forget the steps that patriots like John Adams took to preserve our liberty. If America doesn't wake up soon, everything our Founding Fathers lived and died for will crumble into dust. The political system is a joke, and frauds and liars run amok while good men are blacklisted by the media that controls the country. Mr. Adams truly must be repenting in Heaven, since we have squandered the freedom which he fought and died to give us.
This was a great series. My wife and I had read the book and listened to it on tape and knew that it would make a great movie. And the music is wonderful and inspiring, gives me chills.
Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, and the rest of the cast and crew are to commended for this great series, the songwriter of theme and I assume the ending credits hit a grand slam with this!
and for a show!!!! it just blows my mind how good this show really is...remember the scenes in England? or the congress meeting when they were discussing independence? how about the sea voyage? excellent quality and very very moving indeed. loved it.
Chills.

I for some reason get addicted to theme songs!!!! And this one is no exception!!!!!! Some include "The Good the Bad and the Ugly, The Greatest Game Ever Played, Sherlock Holmes series, Horatio Hornblower series, and many others. The movie doesn't have to be good itself but the themes are amazing!!!

I never thought that buying my dad a fathers day present would make me want to steal it from him XD I've been searching for the soundtrack since I watched the series with my dad. I really want my band director to have us play this music, it's amazing!

Never forget the steps that patriots like John Adams took to preserve our liberty. If America doesn't wake up soon, everything our Founding Fathers lived and died for will crumble into dust. The political system is a joke, and frauds and liars run amok while good men are blacklisted by the media that controls the country. Mr. Adams truly must be repenting in Heaven, since we have squandered the freedom which he fought and died to give us.

The only thing bad about the book is that it did not have the beautiful soundtrack that the miniseries had.

This was a great series. My wife and I had read the book and listened to it on tape and knew that it would make a great movie. And the music is wonderful and inspiring, gives me chills.

Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti, Laura Linney, and the rest of the cast and crew are to commended for this great series, the songwriter of theme and I assume the ending credits hit a grand slam with this!
