I haven't seen the whole movie, only some parts. I must though make some observations. I think it would be too innocent for someone to believe that films, any kind of films - from "Judge Dredd" to "Bowling for Columbine"-,do not embrace certain ideas, do not have a very specific and clear ideology. Ihave read the comments on this movie and to be honest I am a bit annoyed by some of these which happen to be a part of my country;s history. It is never easy to view things in a civil war, it is very clear though that in the Greek civil war(1945-1949)there were two sides; there was the former government, which during the triple occupation(German, Italian and Bulgarian)was "absent" in Cairo (just to note that the former government handed over those communists who were then in exile to the Nazis) and there was the people,who were starving to death, who were tortured, who were sent to concentration camps or to factories in Germany to work. The two sides are very distinct and so were the interests each side served. When Greece was liberated by the Germans, the former government came back to claim the power. the people fought against them, not just the communists, for they wanted a free country, where the people would be the one to decide for its fate and not some so-called allied forces!if it hadn't been for the English and the American, Greece would have been a totally different country. Let me just say that thanks to the American and English intervention the first Napalm bombs were first tested here, in Greece, against the Communists and those who fought for dignity and for an independent nation. Now concerning the film, when these "allied forces" are described as liberators and when the communists are described as the biggest threat in human history, I am sorry to disappoint some of you but this is a clear political view!!And I am also sorry to disappoint some of you but since we live in capitalism(don't be afraid to use the word!), which is an economical and political system, we shouldn't believe that art, culture, our everyday habits are not a reflection of this particular system. Besides every system tries to protect itself! Finally, I would like to add that I do like films and I do like art, but I don't like to be manipulated in a way that my personal judgment is put aside. PS one last observation concerning history facts and propaganda: in "La vita e Bella" starring Roberto Benini, the last scene shows American troops liberating the prisoners of the concentration camp in Poland!well, I guess 20.000.000 Russian killed in the second world war would be quite surprised, if not anything else.
