Comments on: ‘Battle in Seattle’ is Gripping and Intense from Start to Finish http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/battle-in-seattle-is-gripping-and-intense-from-start-to-finish.php A Website About Movies Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sam http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/features/battle-in-seattle-is-gripping-and-intense-from-start-to-finish.php/comment-page-1#comment-110961 Sam Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:01:19 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=10723#comment-110961 I caught the trailer for this on apple's garbled trailer website, and I've been interested in seeing it since. Your review further cements that, your tights aside. That being said, what I took from the trailer was that Townsend was trying to show how everyone was trying to do the right thing and that we can't villainize someone just because of the role they play in whatever social structure, be it the police, protester or government hierarchy. Based on what you wrote about the first part of the movie, it sounds like that held true and the theme may have been present throughout, just more clouded through the actual protest moments. That may have been his 'political message'. Of course it's going to be taken out of context by either side, by people who want to use the themes in the movie to push their own agenda. This is going to be another must-see for me. I caught the trailer for this on apple’s garbled trailer website, and I’ve been interested in seeing it since.
