I will give it 5 stars, because of the story, drama, entertainment value and the feelings it ignited in me. However im rating it now that I am older, jaded, and life has a done a number on me, so I'm not so easily enchanted anymore.
I have watched it over the past 13 years more than 5 times. Now I see slaves, death and the same politics that plague third world countries. The selfish and brutal pursuit of power by autocrats, and the jostling for bower by the beaurocrats.
It's a fkn good movie
