This is a very good movie, well-acted, well directed and with a nice photography, but the most important is its message and the reflection it causes.
The movie is about Spain in the 30s, but I see its importance in the actual context I'm living right now in my country as a brazilian.
The people who supports or simply doesn't stand up against fascism are not necessarily fascists as we can see in the main character. The brutality, fanatism and absurd could be right in front of your eyes and you still are not able to see and comprehend it, specially if the context you are living is confusing and complex.
Spain paid a very high price because of this and suffered for 40 years in the hands of a fascist - an upholder for the "good spaniards".
That's a movie that should be shown to people like Miguel de Unamuno before it's too late, like it was for him.
