Saw it last night. I highly recommend it! There’s even a line where the General says to Jose, the boy, something like “if I had a son he’d be just like you!” I wonder if ‘Fearless Reader’ attended an early screening of the film.
I hope to see it this week. I couldn’t see it at home when it opened because we wwre preparing to leave town for a couple of weeks. But I fully intend to find a theatre in the town where we are staying and will see this movie. In the mean time, I am re-reading a novel set in the period and dealing with a lot of issues of the day.
