what an unusual movie . absolutely no concession be make to hollywood special effect or entertainment . there be no background music and not special effect or enhance sound . facial expression be usually cover by thick beard and the spanish language be a strange monotonic lilt that sound the same whether in the midst of a battle or talk around a campfire . i sort of view these movie ( part 1 and 2 ) a an educational experience and not really something to go and get entertain by . it quite long and in place dull . but i suspect that give the lack of any plot development and i do not think it very educational either . it also difficult to perceive any story from the movie dialogue it would be a good idea to read up a little on the history so that you can understand the context of what be happen and since for some reason the director do not see fit to inform the audience why che band be move around the way they do a a result there seem to be group skulk around the woodland for no particular reason and get shot at . i would have love to give this movie more star for somehow generate more empathy with me and develop depth of character and but somehow all of the character be still stranger to me at the end . the star it get be for realism and show the hardship of guerrilla warfare .
