battle of algiers

in battle of algiers the director did not show which side he was for or against giving you a full view of both sides and why both sides might have done what the did. as an example the director used the same sad music after each bombing, the one from the french and the one from the algierians. showing the dead bodies taken out and how sad and misserable the people all were in the same light giving you freedom to decide which side you want to side with. another example is when the algierian woman was about to bomb a resturant and she was looking all around at all the people you can tell that she feels bad about what she has to do, but thats just it she has to do it, so you feel bad for her and the french most likely in this part
