I remember seeing it around the same general time as "Salvador," and loving it too. And several years before that, I saw "Missing," a searing movie for me, when I was all of 16 or 17.Kristin Berkey-Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841824206762029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-8497585794261923192012-03-26T00:07:56.092-04:002012-03-26T00:07:56.092-04:00I've seen Salvador two or three times, and pre...I've seen <i>Salvador</i> two or three times, and pretty much liked it -- I've wondered how the film might have been different if Stone had had the resources to make it the way he wanted. (I also get what he says about the lucky accidents that resulted in scenes being stronger than they might have been if he'd done them the way he'd originally planned.)<br /><br />I'm curious if you've seen the film <i>Under Fire</i> -- another film about journalists (played by Nick Nolte, Joanna Cassidy, and Gene Hackman), which takes place in Nicaragua on the verge of the Sandinista revolution. I'm not remembering offhand who directed it, I don't think it was anyone I'd heard of previously. I like the film quite a bit, actually maybe a little better than <i>Salvador</i>, in part because the politics in <i>Under Fire</i> are, I think, a little more clearly drawn. I do like both films though.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.com
