I wasn't Born yet

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2008)

What a great film! I bought the DVD years ago, but I always refused to watch it. This simply for the reason I don't like political movies. I mean, if you want to know about politics, look at the news today. Why bother what happened yesterday? The future, that's what counts. By now I realized my thoughts didn't make any sense, because we must look at our past to understand the present, and even more to get the future. Movies like 'Nuit et Brouillard' aren't made for fun (maybe some sadists will say I'm wrong, but I'm not one of them). They are made for the future. For example: I wasn't born yet when the Watergate Scandal occurred. Thanks to this fantastic film, I now can learn about it and form my own thoughts about it. And it's true, the suspense was killing me. The ending comes so suddenly, I was hoping for a good ending. Is it a good ending? Ask that question yourself. Only two minutes before the final frame of this epic journalist movie, was it made clear that happened what had to happen. Let's hope and pray that in the future someday some guy is going to say he'll make a movie about our present politics. Then we'll see in the future of the present the past of today.
