The Battle of Algiers is a great film.

Just finished watching The Battle of Algiers. What a great film. All through-out the film I couldn't decide which side to root for. I don't believe terrorism is a way to get your message across but then again the people wanted their freedom. In the end,
Spoiler:
the people got their freedom without the use of terrorism
I've read the similiarities between the film and the war in Iraq and while I can agree with some, the major difference is that Iraq has its independence. So that pretty much throws all comparisons out the window. What a fantastic film now onto 2 more discs of extras.

There is some discussion of the movie here

Although the discussion should have occured in movie talk instead of dvd talk.

I loved the film.

Interesting stuff. I was hoping for more replies and to have a discussion. C'est la vie.

You could always go over to the criterion forum and join in there. There is usually some good discussion going on over there.
