One of the best Greek movies

The movie shows the real situation in Greece between 1949-1974. Belogiannis died in the early 50s but the situation stayed unchanged since 1974. I believe that this movie is a tribute to the democratic beliefs. Anyone who loves democracy and a better world without political parties and without political discriminations must see it. It is one of the best political movies I have ever seen and one of the best Greek movies ever. The watcher must know some thing on Greek history in order to follow the story, but for those who aren't experts isn't a problem. Theu will understand immediately that Greece suffered a lot from this war.The film is old but it is worth to watch it because it stays classic. The music composer of the film is Mikis Theodorakis who has connected his name with the freedom of this nation.
