ICC is just a formality.
(Spoilers) Why didn't those Englishmen make sure Tony was really dead?
We never see a movie on the 1948 revolution or the Nakba.

What this film needed.
I seem to like this movie more than most do.
Who should play him in a movie?

Yup. No movie on the lives of people like Alexandyr Solhenitzyn.
When you're a people pleasing doormat and finally say "No" the people will gaslight you and play the victim.
If they really wanted to make him a bad guy they could have done one of the following.
1 Enslave the people like Moses, Prince of Egypt or Spartacus.
2 Abduct girls from peasant families to create a harem for himself.
3 Demand his people bow down and worship him or be thrown to the lions.
Granted, he is a bit vain, egotistical and has a quick temper but when you have as much power, knowledge and skill as he has and use it for the good of mankind, I'm not going to care if you have a few character flaws; that just comes with the territory.
Rosas is a place, where racial equality is promoted, infrastructure is fantastic, wildlife is preserved, property tax is nonexistent, slavery is nonexistent and yet Disney wants us to think these people are oppressed because Magnifico does not grant every wish. Talk about entitlement mentality.
I'm not a Trump fan. I'm not fond of either party. All I mean to say is when you do a historical figure in a movie--unless you're doing Hitler or Stalin--you need to look at all sides of the equation in what the history books and documents say if you want to do a great job--neither deifying or demonizing the person of interest. A film director could make the same mistake with a movie on Joe Biden too. Authenticity is tricky.
This is very well written. Could you show me the documentaries and links?
NukeDude,
As always with these stories, the media articles are very vague and use words like "highly credible" and "thorough investigation" with no links to access the details of the investigation, when the women "came out" and how they "came out" and thus it undercuts justice and the quest for truth.
I don't know Tim Ballard personally; I'm not saying he is perfect or has done everything right but I do know that it's a common plot of the FBI and CIA to either dig up the dirt or use the art of artifice to discredit and destroy people on their hit-list simply because they question the system or raise awareness to unpopular subjects. Look up Operation Mockingbird and Cointelpro. They have the power to infiltrate spies into news broadcasts to weave a narrative and infiltrate organizations to set people up so the government has a reason to persecute them. They did this back in the 50's 60's and 70's with the Nation of Islam, Civil Rights Movement, American Communist Party, Black Panthers and Vietnam War Protestors and we somehow think they wouldn't do that now...
Also, look up the documentary "The New American Century" (Massimo Maccuzzo) about the Iraq War. There's a brief story mentioned about a woman who supposedly worked in a Iraqi hospital during the revolution when Saddam Hussein came to power and gave an emotional testimony to alleged cruelty of soldiers that barged into the facility. It turned out she was a CIA asset, paid to play a part on TV.
It's called spiritual wickedness in the high places.
Nicole C. Mullen had an abusive first marriage before she became a famous contemporary singer. But she never gives his name when mentioning him in her interviews out of respect for him and his new family's privacy. She said on the Cece Winans YouTube blog "He was troubled and damaged and had a hard childhood and took his frustrations out on me physically and emotionally. But after we divorced, he finally got the help he needed. So there was enough love left in my heart--not to stay in the relationship--but to forgive him--because I didn't believe he deserved to be punished forever for our failed marriage. It's been thirty years. He's dead now and I still don't give his name for the sake of his family."
Now THAT'S an honorable woman for you!
I totally agree with Enigmaticocean.
Have you ever watched the 1995 version? It ends exactly how you would have done it, had you been the director.
