Do you ever watch a movie to learn about another time? Another place? Another culture? The fact that the film is based upon true events adds poignancy to the story because it adds relevance to the story. Similar, though maybe not to the same degree, as watching a murder on television and watching one in real life. There is no art is murder, so why must there be on the screen? The film simply seeks to show you a life in another part of the world, one which you would not likely have known about otherwise. Why criticize a film for not being "artful" when that it is not necessarily the intent of the filmmakers?Usually, when a film contains many subjects, it looses it's way. I thought the filmmakers did a very good job of taking many characters, over a long period of time, and making them individuals, humans, where it would have been easy make them human targets, wherein we learn nothing about them, the violence being the subject. That the filmmakers were able to take a very violent subject and make the focus on the humans was commendable. And I think artful. Otherwise, I would echo the comments of Tinear. An excellent film.
And because you were not moved may say more about you than the film.
