Outside the Law [Blu-ray] - Crime Drama Movie | Perfect for Movie Nights & Home Theater Collections

This film compliments DAYS OF GLORY and the classic THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS well. Algerian brothers starting an anti french colonialism movement on french soil. Good depiction of life during french occupation and algerian migration to the shanty towns of france. Good story, very moving and uplifting. I like how it showed inspiration from the vietnamese victory against french colonialism. It shows french clerical and communist support for algerian independence. And it shows the harsh reality of being an insurgent, you have to literally give yourself to the cause, sacrifice and be selfless, be determined and resolute. Those were the days, before reactionary islamic fundamentalists came on the scene, back then arab insurgents were secular democratic nationalists, and or communists. their cause was legit and you could root for them. I love how they showed real footage of a french victory over nazi germany parade in the beginning, then at the end show real footage of an algerian victory over france parade.
