Perfect Balance

Rating: 7/10 (22 July 2011)

I'd imagined the movie to be just another war movie, but it was not so. It had a great stuff in it and it is perhaps one of the best war movies ever made and needless to say it is not a fictitious story but a true story from the pages of history.
The stages of revolution that is portrayed, the forming of the organization, the plotting of attacks, actual operation of attacks, some of them which are carried by women and children is so realistically shown in this movie. Even to this day, these happen in many parts of the world. The makers of the movie have struck a perfect balance between the features of a documentary and a feature film. Kudos for them for that.
One more important thing to be noted is that the makers have not taken any sides, be it Algerian or the French while narrating, but the story is told form a neutral point and is one more point which adds beauty to the movie.
If you are a fan of war movies, or a student of history then this movie must be in your watch-list!!
