Deeply Flawed Individual, Not A Hero…..
As another review points out, a contrarian / counter factual Documentary in the same vein as “Why every house needs a Shark in their Bath Tub” or “Why Alligators Make Great Pets”Spoiler Alert – They Don’t!
Benedict Arnold was both Brave and a Talented military leader, but none of his accomplishments make up for his later treachery and deceit. If Benedict Arnold felt unappreciated and lacked confidence in his leadership, nothing prevented him from resigning and going his own way. Betraying his country and his countrymen was completely inexcusable, and any ridiculous narratives or documentaries to the contrary are completely absurd.
Martin Sheen gets 2 stars – Not historically accurate and boring
Documentaries on Arnold are usually very interesting because it is tragic due to his own self destruction.The tag line for this documentary did interest me. Does his heroics overshadow his treason, has history misjudged him.
How this documentary approaches it is by omitting the treason down to a footnote in the presentation. At least go through the entirety of what the British were expecting and the desired outcome of the plan. Just because it failed does not mean it should be discounted against his great contributions.
Even the coverage of his military career was slow and boring. Arnold’s military career is anything but boring.
