GUERRILLA GIRL is a cheap and politically-themed wartime drama, shot on a low budget insufficient to do the mildly complicated storyline justice. It's a romance of sorts between two resistance workers in Athens during the Nazi occupation, and the action then shifts to the post-war period where political allegiances continue to come between the two protagonists.
Attempts to portray the relationships of love, politics and subterfuge in wartime. Neatly done by this tale.
Guerrilla Girl: Nice cinema photography, terrible at honesty. Ask anyone who has lived in a jungle for any length of time (including temperate rainforests) about the bugs, dirt, dampness and...
I liked this film. It felt "true" to me.
The movie's fairly impressive photography is probably its strongest point, along with the novelty of its being a movie about the FARC. As far as those aspects go, the film would deserve a 9 or a 10.
Having a Colombian background I totally hated that movie, not just because it lies about the real conflict but, because of personal reasons, my family had to scape from Colombia after being threaten of kidnapping by this organization and in the movie they look like heroes.Bombings, murder, mortar attacks, narcotrafficking, kidnapping, extortion, hijacking, as well as guerrilla and conventional military action against Colombian political, military, and economic targets.
Young men and women the world over enter military service for a variety of reasons, from economic opportunity to patriotism to the simple desire to fight. The journey of young recruits from raw human material to part of an effective fighting force in nations like the Untied States has been covered ad nauseum, and such films have even been encouraged by the government (assuming they have final say).
This documentary is significant for a number of reasons.First, on a personal level, it brought back strong memories for me of the rain forests of New Guinea, where I spent six years in colonial administration in the 1960s.
I couldn't avoid to feel so frustrated about the careless way this filmmaker portraits the FARC. How come someone could be this irresponsible to make a documentary presenting facts that are so far from being true.
