      Evolution of a Revolutionist;

      The movie depicts the reformation of Peoples Liberation Front (JVP) after the first attempted toppling of government by the activists and how there democratic movement (Nominal) went from pro-election to revolutionary with the intervention of the Indian forces in suppressing the LTTE. The movie specifically addresses how the JVP were forced to choose the violent path. It is arguable and mostly true that the adversities done by the JVP on the government servants (Especially security forces) as well as ruling party (United National Party) has been addressed quite less than what really happened. This sugar coating on the JVP overshadows the violence by them. It might be due to the way the movie has been formed; which is highlighting the life of Rohana Wijeweera. The movie is a great source to understand the recent bloodshed history of Sri Lanka and how socialism tried to engulf the country.

      Great effort. Love it. Great Research.

      Better research about the main character and background. Good picture quality product. Acting also perfect. Best Biographical film. Love it.

      Great effort but could have been better.

      Without a doubt, this is a great film. It successfully deviates from the "glorified history" films to a much more personal struggle. But did it live upto it's hype? Well, that's a big question mark. Although most of the departments were successful, it seems that the creators accidentally did some obvious mistakes. For instance, the dialogues were too artificial. Some of which were cringe inducing. There were some unneesesary fade outs and the start could have been different. It seems that the production was done in a hurry. And also it must be said that the last 30 minutes and the ending did a prominent part in overshadowing those mistakes. And lastly; Was I satisfied with the film? Partially. Should you watch this? Absolutely.

      Well done historical biography

      My parents and I thoroughly engoyed the Frozen fire when it showed in Calgary. The music was especially well done. It was very interesting to learn about the political history of Sri Lanka and I hope that more movies like this can be shared with the world.

      A descriptive biographical narration

      This film is an eye opener for the current film industry in Sri Lanka. It excels in almost all aspects. It does not contain unnecessary songs and the historial incidents are very well accounted. A rounded character of the proganist is well created. The leading role actor is also good except some slight variations in the voice, which looks a bit artificial. The film rushes a bit in the end. In my point of view, it is a masterpiece that fills a void in the modern entertainment industry.
