aprokop-74880's rating
The scenes that this movie dares to show are pretty intense, and it has absolutely amazing characterization for every person in the work. The plot is interesting and it brought up a large number of interesting points both for the time and for today. It is slow in some sections, especially the first part, and the angles are not nearly as dynamic as some other works of the time, but the depth of character and willingness by the story to get into the gritty details of events is something unseen in films of this time. There are massive shades of grey, which helps this work surpass the quality of more high budget productions from around this time. Birth of A Nation, for example, has better shots and a bigger budget, but tells a story that it presents as real in a way that I can't help finding fake (it dramatizes so heavily that it gets ridiculous, even when ignoring the fact that the film is meant as a piece of propaganda) and intensely boring. Basically, if you got through that film, this one should be much more interesting.
