Pointe, Lhedi Djafar, Ben M’Hidi
French - Philippe Mathieu
1.
In the
beginning we see the FLN talking about dialogue and negotiation. At the same
time, we see it taking steps to strengthen itself among the community and
become the dominant party of resistance. What are some of these steps the FLN
takes? Sketch one shot or take a picture of one shot that supports your claim.
2.
What strategies
does the FLN use to wage its campaign? How do these change over time? Who is
involved in the fight? If we were to think of this in terms of escalating ACTS
OF RESISTANCE on the FLN’s side, and ACTS OF RESPONSE on the French side, what
would we describe? Sketch one shot or take a picture of one shot that supports
your claim.
3.
What FUNCTION
do these sorts of tactics seem to have? What impacts do they have? Do these
impacts include the furthering of FLN goals? Sketch one shot or take a picture
of one shot that supports your claim.
4.
What is the function
of everyday people (the community) in this battle? How is “the community”
perceived by both sides? Use two shots to support your claim.
5.
Are there good guys and bad guys in this movie? What thoughts or lessons might
we take away from the film regarding wars of liberation.? Can you relate this
to Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the People”?
