Carlos
I started watching a trilogy this weekend called Carlos. It's about a communist terrorist named Illich Ramírez Sanchéz operating in Europe and the Middle East during the 1970's. What's really interesting about the story is how closely different terrorist cells work together and help each other out, even if they have different goals. The movie itself is very well done, it has the look and feel of the 1970's and acting makes you want to meet these people and live their lives. Which is really strange because they were assassins. The soundtrack is all 70's music and is expertly put together. I strongly recommend watching these films; even if each one is three hours long.
Carlos was literally a monster (and a very ugly one at that! not "handsome like the protagonist) I agree that the films are pretty good, I just think they glamorize him too much and that is why as an audience you identify even with a character as senseless and cruel as he was.
