Another movie to see

Rob and I just finished watching The Battle of Algiers, which is another one on our must see list. It was released in 1966 by Italian filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo with an excellent soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. It depicts the Algerian fight for independence against the French, who occupied Algeria in the 50's and 60's. In 2003, the Pentagon held a screening on the film, just months after the Iraq War was officially declared to be over. There seem to be many parallels and similar war tactics between The Battle of Algiers and the Iraq War, so if you are interested in learning more about these issues especially the current debate on 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques', watch [shameless Netflix link] this movie!
