How Powerful!

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2004)

How is it possible that this movie can be ranked after Forrest Gump, Gladiator or American beauty??? This movie is from an era when the United States had superlatives actors and directors. Stanley Kramer did a movie about Americans that was not a good (americans) vs evil (everybody else) film. There is something here that we cannot almost never find in American cinema nowadays, and it is call subtlety. All the actors are great, and as good Yves Simoneau is, his 2000 version would have been better with Spencer Tracy, Marlene Dietrich, Richard Widmark and Maximilian Schell. This movie belongs in the top 10 of all time, along with the Schindler's List.
