This is real. Everything in this movie is true. It's a very rare thing to be in a movie that's actually got something to say about something that's happening today. Seymour's book, McBride said, had a more pro-British position than this film. That's the kind of reaction this film gets wherever you show it.
People look at it through the window of their own political prejudice.
You can argue about it all day long. One thing Dalton said you can't argue with. This movie certainly exposes that neither side is good. And taking sides hasn't worked for centuries. But they are talking, and most people want peace.
