A High School Student's impression - Semi-Spoiler inside....

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2006)

I just watched this in my video production class (I'm only 15, and in high school). Even though the only real facts in this movie are that people got shot, it is an excellent piece of propaganda. If anything it was the music, the use of historical footage, and the big name actors that made this film what it is.
I'm not sure if this is really considered a spoiler or not, but an excellent example of how this film is pretty (factually) bogus is the scene where the lead proves it is impossible for the rifle to fire 3 shots in 6 seconds. What is funny about this, is that if timed, the movie shows it is entirely possible to fire all three shots Along with this how many witnesses say they saw smoke firing from a gun. If you've ever fired a rifle, you'd already see where this is going. Even the people making this film could not find a gun that could create as much smoke as displayed in the movie, so they had to create their own! Despite the misleading information, it is definitely a good film. A little long for my likings (Although, this is probably because it took us three days to watch it all due to interruptions, and that we watched "Triumph of the Will" the day before) As said before, watch this film with an open mind. I myself was convinced with the story until I learned how misleading it is. The actors are extremely believable, the historical footage fits in almost seamlessly, and the music intensifies the viewers reactions.
A must-see for those studying propaganda
