A guide for Iraq and Afghanistan

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2010)

The movie battle of Algiers is so realistic that one may think that the movie is actually a documentary. The filmmaker is so unbiased, he does not take any side that I can't really tell who is the protagonist, the baddie of the movie? The Algerian resisters, who make terrorism to achieve their goal, or the French, who colonized the Algerians. Filmmaker does not make the mistake to portray the terrorists as caricature characters. Movie does not make a mistake like romanticizing the terrorists neither. It just shows the mindset of terrorism, under what circumstances a person would commit such crime?
This movie should be displayed in schools, aired on TV, streamed on youtube for free, and newspapers should tell people to watch this movie. So whole nation may have a better understanding about what we are dealing in Iraq, especially in Afghanistan. That would save many lives and money.
