Harsh Reality. Not a movie for everyone to understand.

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2003)

You ask yourself who r the bad guys in this movie? The French? who torture and kill innocent algerians cause french people are being killed by algerian terrorists? Or the Algerians? who set bombs in innocent crowds consisting of children? Neither of them should be justified. Atleast not in this so called modern world of civilized society that we live in. But think what you would do if someone takes over your house and treats you like a slave. You can shoot and kill a man for breaking into your house and that wont be illegal. Not in usa. You are just protecting what is yours. What is Algeria? A french colony? Or the Algerians rightful home? So you decide the actions that was executed by the Algerians. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. How ironic is that?
An exceptional work of Art! Not just a movie. Makes you think!!
