This film was in a way interesting. But when I heard of it, I pictured something else. This film wasn't what I expected. It was ok, but maybe I should watch it again at a time when I'm not so tired!
There were just parts that i became lost and confused in. But I don't blame the movie for that, just me being tired.
I guess a part I really liked was the way the Soldiers marched down that stairway and fired silently at the crowd. The Gillepsie book talked about the way those soldiers were illustrated: Faceless. When you don't see the face of something that sparks terror, it gives you more of an eerie feeling because you can not see who this 'thing that sparks terror' is. That's a problem that Horror movie trailers have these days. They immediately show the killer's face. And it looks just stupid.
That scene with the shooting just seemed very realistic. Maybe because EVERYONE was running. Some of them were like 200 feet away with crowds behind them, and they still ran. In really life, everyone would just run and run.

It's also interesting to consider how the camera seems to focus most on those soldiers' legs as they march down the steps shooting at the crowd...especially in contrast with the legless man who is part of that suppressed crowd.
