under-appreciated, remarkable work September 17, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book is OK, but the 6 video tapes of "The Private Life of Plants" are unbelievable. This series has the best time-lapse photogrpahy ever created. Plants grow before your eyes, but you simultaneously travel across the floor of the woodland or up a tree. The facts here make the Twilight Zone seem tame. Truth is absolutely more amazing than fiction -- and the uncanny clarity of this work of art proves it. Excellent. END

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.
This is a great series that can be watched over and over. May 6, 1999

I have been watching this video for years. I never get tired of it and have only just recently started to loan it out. Thank goodness I have found where I could order another copy. This film relaxes and refreshes me so much, I recommend it to my friends for sickness that confines them to bed or when they wish they were confined to bed.

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.

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.
