History is written by the victors

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2006)

There is a fine line between subversion and revolution -- like the difference between courage and stupidity; it depends on the outcome. The word Terrorist is rather harsh for this film, as no non-combatants were ever targeted. Also, it was a little easier to take seeing the setting against another country. But the idea and ideal came through loud and clear. I have a sad feeling that somewhere in the world in the near future (from an historical perspective) the pure ideals upon which my government was founded will have to dust themselves off again and assert themselves. Makes me remember that I should never judge revolutionary ideas as subversive outright. A film about a terrorist or a freedom fighter? See it and decide for yourself. I especially like how the film reminded us that it does not take a superhero to change the world. Powerful stuff. Remember remember...
