Right To Revolution

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2011)

An explosion of revolt from years of underlying religious persecution, racial discrimination and attempts at cultural colonization. Battle Of Algiers showcases the pulse of racial tension as the Algerian people begin to fight for their independence from French occupation. It is a true test of character to give up control for another's freedom and the French are definitely not portrayed as compassionate people in this film, but rather rational when the Algerians are left to act irrationally out of desperation and a place of extreme emotions. The actions of both sides heinous but the really atrocity comes from the act of insubordination. Making others feel dehumanized and inferior alone would be cause for revolt. This film speaks to a person's soul and truly makes me appreciate freedom to choose my religion and carry out the traditions pertaining to, without judgment or persecution. Shot as if it could've taken place in real life, you see both sides take a stand, who would you side with? Watch this film to experience a fight for the right to life!
