Review of Battle in Seattle (2007) by Julian K — 30 Mar 2011

I just watched this movie and finished it being completely stunned. It chronicles the events when citizens of Seattle protested the World Trade Organization talks. It is really scary to watch. Riot cop brutality, anarchy, mayhem, violence, all put together very well with some pretty swell performances, particularly by Charlize Theron (great actress), who, although plays a very small role, plays it well. Also Channing "phwoar" Tatum appears in this as well, which made me love this film more... he's a complete stunner.

This movie sends an important message that we should boycott horrible, slavery supportive organizations such as the WTO, which directly causes the deaths of millions around the world, and is a blatant symbol of greed and inequality.

The movie is made well because they mix real footage of the actual riots with reacted sequences of it's own. Creating a very grim setting and sending a clear message that people should come together when rights are violated.
