The Battle of Algiers


I think this review is correct about what impact the movie has on people, nations and organizations.

I agree that the movie shows both sides of the story, which helps people better understand the situation and many current situations. i think the movie helps people escape the black and white mentality of viewing war. There is never simply a bad guy and a good guy. Everyone is invoved in every way; innocent civilians and officials, who also have feelings.

The article stated that the Pentagon had wanted to "claim the film for their own agenda". Apparently it has helped organizations and nations be unterstood more. i think this is a good thing, that people are being informed about how some wars actually work.
