VHS Movie Reviews of Land & Freedom
Movie Review: DEAD FOR NOTHING
Summary: 3 Stars
Ken Loach's LAND AND FREEDOM won two awards at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival and was also considered as the best European Film of 1995. I do have a tremendous respect for the works of Ken Loach, such directors who handle social, political or historical matters in their films, are necessary. In LAND AND FREEDOM, Ken Loach's intentions were to remind us that the dissensions between the different left-wing Spanish movements were the principal cause of General Franco's victory in 1939 and the fascist dictatorship that ruled Spain until 1975.
As I didn't particularly study this tragic period of the history of Spain, I watched LAND AND FREEDOM without any preconceived ideas. The first part of the film is rather boring with interminable debates about collectivism, communism or stalinism. But as soon as the members of the militia understand that their leaders are willing to sacrifice them in the name of political realism, the movie starts to become very interesting because it poses a fundamental question: what for does each member of the militia fight ? Out of idealism, pity for the Spanish people or against Fascism ?
