5.0 out of 5 stars perfection, should be seen by everyone who makes films.., 22 May 2003

By	"jmorton8" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Culloden [VHS] [1964] (VHS Tape)

If only television documentaries had advanced down the route Peter Watkins and the few others like him suggested in the late 60's...but instead the dumbing down, the rapid editing, the constant noise...
His use of amatures to portray the people involved provides a kind of realism I have not seen anywhere else.
Would be perfect for use in the classroom as it presents very coherantly the differing perspectives and the mistakes made on both sides.
Excellent and beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Most Powerful Anti-War Films Ever Made, 21 May 2006

By	John Capute "JCap" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I haven't seen this film since it was broadcast on American public television in 1964. And unfortunately it is unavailable in the United States. However, now that Punishment Park has been released in the U.S., I can only hope that this film will find its way here eventually. Images from this film have stayed with me for 42 years. The British soldiers talking dispassionately about how to bayonet the Scottish fighters on the non-shield side. The running down of the fleeing Scottish women and children after the battle. The technique Watkins uses, and has used several times since, of "you are there," with the reporters directly addressing the participants. As a story of imperial aggression and repression, this film is as relevant and important today as it was when it first came out with America just beginning its trials in Vietnam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-visiting past memories, 22 Oct 2007

By	Malig Mill "Topflat" (Helensburgh,Scotland) - See all my reviews

I remember watching parts of this many years ago and decided to rent it and watch in full.
I'm just amazed that this film has not been brought to new generations. It's such an important statement, Scottish history apart this film applies to any modern day conflict. I've seen this sort of conflict first hand and as far as Peter Walkins movie goes it doesn't really matter if it is culloden, Ireland, Iraq, Africa, you will always get bloodthirsty soldiers, scared soldiers, sympathetic soldiers and you will always get innocent, non-combatant civilians caught in the middle. Make Culloden an Educational resource if nothing else.
