Never forget....

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2010)

History aside, if we can, negative reviews compel me to add some comments, whether welcome or not. I note some reviewers whilst commending the skill of the delivery, condemn certain aspects of the movie, such as showing the ringleaders in a sympathetic light, playing unsuitable music with religious overtones & perhaps not portraying events accurately. I mark this movie highly despite the subject matter not because of it. I believe (personally) the acting to be second to none and rather than feeling sorry for the antagonists, watching them squirm like rats in a tunnel crawling over each other, I take a perverse pleasure in their frantic, brow mopping final machinations to delay the inevitable. The film does not portray them sympathetically, rather, it shows them as weak limbed, weak minded individuals easily led and paying the price of blindly following a distorted belief.
