The SCW had some very bad actors on both sides of the conflict. Nationalists shooting people by the bushel in bullrings, Republicans, not exclusively but mainly Communist elements ruthlessly executing Anarchists, Socialists, any one not Communist, essentially a civil war within a civil war. Quite fertile ground for a mini series. Just don't turn it into a damn Marvel Comic Book trope.

It's a shame that it's not a better movie. I'd like to see a movie about the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.snowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400925457313911529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-69208253749310480542017-03-10T19:07:16.835-06:002017-03-10T19:07:16.835-06:00That is a good analysis.That is a good analysis.War Movie Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999735218343872013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-18866684015140201412017-03-07T01:05:05.061-06:002017-03-07T01:05:05.061-06:00The movie made me read about Guarnika, that is a g...The movie made me read about Guarnika, that is a good thing, but the romance seemed so predictable and I often laughed at parts that should have been sad.
