Why we do what we do

Rating: 9/10 (14 December 2011)

A timely movie for the time in which it was done. Considering what America was involved in during this period of time. This is a movie that shows that oppression occurs all over the world. Even today this movie is still applicable to how power is and how we perceive power. This movie can also cause the viewer to question their stereotypical view of who is bad and who his not. The passion in the characters cause creates a tensive compassion for the audience. Especially in a time when many people view people from certain countries as evil. The battle fought in this movie is more than for Algiers, it is for oppressed people and societies worldwide. Personally I found it to be a movie that is perfect for discussion (not debate) on modern day issues of why we do what we do.
