Words Fail

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2003)

But I'll try:
Exhausting. Engrossing. Horrifying. Historic. Realistic. Poetic. TRUE.

Great story, great screenplay, great direction, great acting, great cinematography, great art direction, great music, TRUE.
Best of 2002. One of the all time greats. Must-see. Masterpiece. Events depicted are only 60 years in the past and are TRUE.
And finally, among the many emotions, identifications and questions this film inspires in the viewer is this one:
When my liberty is about to be robbed once and for all, will I fight against the freedom robbers in time? Or will I go along, paralyzed, like a sheep to slaughter, hoping things won't be, couldn't be as bad as they seem?
