Movie Review: Pretensious propaganda
Summary: 1 Stars
I viewed the French language version. This film may or may not follow the history of the event fairly closely but I do not know the history. Since I do not know the historical details, I will not address its historical accuracy but I am very skeptical of its objectivity. There appears to be a fabricated leftist slant in the film. The characters are all stereotypical of leftist propaganda. The left are portrayed as being peace loving and only driven to violence by a wildly violent, conspiratorial, right wing, christian, conservative, nationalist and organized conspiracy. Any media that renders an implied truth as being black and white, causes me to immediately suspect deception on the part of the artist. The acting was good and I enjoyed the cinematography but the film seems to be nothing more than propaganda to push the nonsense of communism or at least a leftist socialist agenda. It may or may employ out of context historical information (it undeniably employed biased character portrayals). In spite of its propaganda failings it was at least entertaining. Very refreshing compared with the cotton candy, sticky, gooey make you want to vomit, crap films made here in the US today. In all I rate it low not because it is a bad film but because it is propaganda. If it did not attempt to pimp what should have been a long dead leftist rhetoric (even in that time) I would have enjoyed it more.
