The Crossing DVD

Starring Jeff Daniels as George Washington, this movie depicts Washington's struggle and turmoil as he decides what to do a few days before Christmas and the day after in 1776.  The battle featured in this movie was The Battle of Trenton. 
My sons and I watched this after a couple of weeks studying the Revolutionary War.  We were able to compare its content to what we have learned.  We were disappointed how the movie portrayed George Washington-swearing and at one time vulgar.  According to David Adler's book (Heroes of the Revolution), Washington had ordered "no profane cussing, swearing or drunkenness" and required his men to attend religious services and pray to God for His help.   I also know he was a man of manners.  It is sad the movie chose not to exhibit these wonderful qualities. 
Not rated.
