Days of Glory
Added 2/6/2010
If you like your war movies Hollywood-free you'll like this movie. It wasn't only the U.S. that defeated Germany and this movie tells the story of Algerian fighters who helped liberate France and bring down the Third Reich.

Righteous Indignation over French Colonialism WWII Era
Added 4/6/2009
This film does not compare to many other WWII efforts.
It is primarily a reminder of the overwhelming Liberal Whacko Trend that will continue until democracy is destroyed by Muslim Extremist or Anti-American forces.
It's good to understand the truth- that there has been evil in the world as a result of Bigotry & Colonialism, but to whine about it without ceasing is just unacceptable.
Grow up!
I recommend another war movie other than this one.

The Bottom Line:
Daygs of Glory/Indigenes would have been better served without the unnecessary Saving Private Ryan-esque ending, but it's still an interesting and well-directed war film that tells the story of characters we don't normally see fighting in WWII movies.

Days of Glorious filmmaking
Added 2/6/2009
While we are all aware that the French had their sorry rear ends saved by us good old American boys and our stodgy yet noble allies in England, many of us are unaware that indigenous Algerians also played a role in saving the French's sorry rear ends from their Nazi masters, and given the current state of French politics it would appear the French are also mighty ungrateful to the Algerians, though perhaps this film can change that. It shows the struggle that the colonized people, being lauded over and belittled by the French nobly sacrificed their own well-being to free France from tyranny, with the hopes that one day they would be freed from French tyranny, naturally the French screwed them out of their veterans status after the war and out of their pensions....typical....but perhaps in French youngsters see this they'll have more respect for the old Arab man up the street, given that if it weren't for that old Arab man (As well as the old American and old Englishman), then they'd be speaking German. Wonderful part of World War II that doesn't get much press.

Great movie
Added 10/23/2008
I would give this movie a rating of 6 stars if I could. Based on true story with great acting and drama. Director Debbouze did it again.
