La battaglia di Algeri

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2019)

We watched the movie in our social studies class because of a vote we made earlier. We democratically voted and decided that France did the best job giving independence to their colonies. Algeria was a French colony and this movie changed my mind because the French were actually being harsh towards the Algerians. La battaglia di Algeri was a realist movie because it included the two languages that the Algerians were speaking. They eventually put the movie in black and white which remarkably set the mood of the movie. I enjoyed it even though the acting was quite poor. This is a good educational source. This film changed my mind on how the way the French decolonized their colonies.
