Opinion as a foreigner

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2008)

Having read some of the previous comments (fortunately after seeing the movie), I can understand why English people aware of their history might find the movie disturbing. However, coming from the south part of Europe and with no detailed knowledge of the history as written in the books, I must say I enjoyed the movie. Yes, it was not a 10/10, but it had an interesting plot, lots of twists, drama, intense scenes, and a nearly unexpected ending. After reading the previous comments, I could then recognize some elements that were not exactly right, but the movie left me with a satisfied feeling, and in the end maybe that's all that matters.
