What's the difference in the Director's Cut? The 1080 and 720 are both the same length, so what's different?
48 years later and it's still superb... and much better than "Hamilton"! For those who may wonder, this (or at least the 720) is the Director's Cut.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is a brilliantly good film. The guy that plays Ben Franklin is a master. It's serious and hilarious at the same time. The debates in Congress are taken from the minutes of the meetings. They reaally went after each other like the way the film portrays. How the US finally declared our independence and ultimately won the war are truly miracles. Highly recommend.
