Even though it isn't a Hollywood production this movie really can capture the spirit of the time. The reason it had a low grading here is because it isn't politically popular anymore in Spain. And outside of Spain it is hardly known.

The attempt made by peers of Franco to instill a sense of brotherhood, courage and pride in the Spanish people is what makes this movie so valuable. It's very rare at this moment in time to find a movie which expresses these sentiments anymore in a selfless way. BRAVO! To the makers of this movie and to the individual guts of the viewers who takes the time to watch this movie.

If you get the chance to see this movie, see it. Don't be bothered by the low cost production or dodgy acting. The spirit of this movie is truly unique!!!

This movie was terrible. Let me just start by saying that in Holland when I went to watch it, people started talking trough he movie in contempt....and no one complained. I don't remember another movie which was so generally disrespected. I went to the movie theaters with some house mates a week or so ago. The dull leftist liberal American politics is just uninteresting..... We were promised a movie with the entertainment value of Gladiator, but instead it was just another movie in the line on Good Night and Good Luck, Brokeback Mountain, Syriana etc.. Why is it that after that fatty bastard goes political movie, Bowling for Columbine, that Hollywood has decided to become a worldwide forum for the American democratic party......I mean just take a look at the end of this work or neo-nonsensical movie......a bunch of empowered hippies walk through the soldiers? Now if this isn't a wet dream of those stupid anti-globalization children, I don't know what is.

I sure hope Hollywood gets off of this political train and starts making entertaining movie again.....because if I look at the movie theaters now on any given day about half are not from Hollywood. Five years ago it would have been about 10%-25%.......The best movie or series lately have come from ENGLAND in my opinion.
