Title: historical note
Product review: i enjoyed this movie tremendously. the acting was superb. there is little to add to the other reviewers' comments about the film.however, about five years or so after the movie was released, i happened to read an article in the Los Angeles Times, an interview with the man who wrote the book on which the movie was based. between the time he researched, wrote and published the book, and the release of the film, the time limit set by the british secrecy acts on information about the boer war expired. the author then had access to materials that had not been available when he was writing his book. in the los angeles times interview, he stated that the then newly released information proved that the trial was, in fact, completely necessary and not, as he had originally supposed and as had originally seemed, without the military information, a political or expedient act. i believe he even called morant a psychotic.none of which detracts from the film as a film.
