"Battle Algiers"

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2010)

The Battle Algiers is a very influential movie because it dealt with issues that the nation face and it is true even to this day. The film explores historical events that take place during the Algiers Battle. Not only does it relate to the United States but relates to those Nations that fight for their freedom.
Author from IMDb: dankagvoic from United States comments "This movie was made in 1967, over 30 years before 9/11. When 9/11 happened, I thought who in this world does that? Who kill(s) innocent civilians in the middle of the day by crashing the plane into the building?" I completely agree with his comment; when 9/11 occurred I was in middle school and it didn't make sense to me how people could: first of all, kill themselves and kill innocent people. But after watching this movie I got a sense of what it all meant. It was not just people being suicidal but had an utterly deeper meaning. A meaning that goes beyond hate but focuses on the pain. Overall I found this film provocative and worth watching.
