As timeless, pertinent and empowering now, as it was 60 odd years ago

Interesting to see a movie about a war that I know so little about. I read online that this is supposed to be fairly accurate, which makes it almost like a history documentary for me. As a movie, though, I think it has a good way of showing us how a revolution works. I had a good time.

That's a great movie. Ever wondered how colonialism in the 2nd half of the 20th century in a country not very far away looked like? Watch this movie and the conflict from the perspective of those who were colonized. It was ugly. Guerilla warfare is brutal. Then watch *La Haine* and draw the line for yourself. B/w looks great in HD. Ennio Morricone again on fire!
