Horrible Movie

The film The Battle of Algiers was a very bad movie. It was in french, subtitled, and black and white. A horrible combination of things. But the article, or what ever you call it, I listened to was NPR: Los Angeles Times and Morning Edition film critic Kenneth Turan. I agree with a lot of what he said. He said that it is universal how people try to get out from under an oppressive power and I definetely agree with that. While he thought that the director had sympathy for the Algerians and French, I think it was mostly just hte Algerians. The French were very seldemly individualized and it added to the fact that they seemed just like nameless faces in the crowd.
The best thing that this guy said was that The Battle of Algiers provides a way of "uniting the world morally while looking at it physically." This really seems like a good way to put the movie. It depicts seeminly real life scenes that are violent and horrible, and the emotion seems to be in the scenes too. It lets the audience come together morally because of the physical nature of seeing it first hand, and that is what is great about this movie.
