Where to Watch

Because I watched Breaker Morant while tired & suffering from a headache, I initially found it difficult to figure out who was who, which person belonged to which side of the conflict & what the rules of conflict were. Part of me thinks that is the point because the narrative structure slowly reveals the story as the defense attorney lays out his battle plan to save the prisoners’ lives. The truth is shrouded in political realities and personal pain. I think that this movie is probably a masterpiece, but wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it & because of the subject matter, I probably won’t try again.
