    Taking Liberties out now


    by Sunny on 16th October, 2007 at 2:25 PM    


    It came out on DVD yesterday. Has anyone seen it? What did they think of it? Missed it while it was in the cinemas.
    Update: Davide has a review, as does Rosie Bell.

      It was great!! I saw it at the cinema when it first came out and I wrote a review of it here. Thanks for the heads up on the DVD, I’ll plug that too and buy it when I can.

      Definitely interested to hear how it is – I ordered it on Amazon along with “The War On Democracy”, but it won’t be delivered until December. Will give me a chance to cancel if it gets a resounding boo!

      It was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend it. I did a review of it here:-

      Yes, I saw it the night it came out in our local independent cinema.

      The more people who see that film, the better – it’s very informative and well made, and should be a “must see”. In fact, I’d go as far as to say this should be shown in schools and public places across the nation… but then, that’s not very likely to happen any time soon, is it?

      The downsides: it’s quite depressing to realise we definitely live in a police state (in even more depth than you thought you already knew about), and from what I remember, it made no suggestions at all on what we can do about the problem (but maybe that’s the point, again – we have to come up with our own solutions and implement them from below, as politicans can never be trusted).

      Still, well worth a watch, and I was very happy to pay to see it – worth every penny. I’ll probably get the DVD just so I can lend it to people.
