Red Soil

What I liked in this movie, is that there is no didactic point of view, I mean there is no intent to teach you anything, to tell you that a factory is destined to increase pollution or journalist purpose is to jam the economical system.... Both point of views are exposed. A good character study too, though a bit smooth, predictable, too" french" maybe. A good American film presented for the Academy Awards would have been more powerful. Of course. Sami Bouajila is outstanding here, so is Olivier Gourmet, as the big executive. I will finish by saying that in this kind of issue, you have to choose between economy, employment, business and health, ecology, protection of the.environment. You CAN NOT HAVE BOTH. You see, a very simple problem but unfortunately without any solution. The same with any politics for a president or a prime minister, he has to choose between social care or stock market...A "simple" matter of priority. That depends of the individuals. Socialism or liberalism. Ecology - health- or economy issue is exactly the same.
