important films, shining blinding light on the time. I've only watched "Salvador, again, and I've done so several times. It is very good filmmaking. I think it was his high point. Still, the other films are significant. Did anyone else illuminate the Vietnam War better?
"JFK" also was interesting filmmaking, taking license with the facts, of course, as artists do. One doesn't read Shakespeare's "Henry 5" for historical accuracy.
