Review of Lions for Lambs (2007) by Jonathani. — 15 Nov 2007

Provocative in the fact that the meaning of the film is up to the interpretation of the viewer. Clear oratories ensure that sublte facts and rhetoric are present for those wishing to extend their minds and challenge their beliefs.

A classic piece of erudite entertainment, yet captivating in its messages. (History repeating itself perhaps,but how hard is it to understand the lessons to be learnt, and yet not be able to succeed in motivating others and nations despite marked natural talent and ability, towards the reconciliation of modern life and the barbarism of centuries past).

I enjoyed this film immensely for those facts. An inspiring film, yet not in the overdone American tradition of heroic war movies or political expose where over ambitious or coorupt politicians receive their come-uppance! Elegance in the final moments.

Well done Mr Redford.
