Action: The October Crisis of 1970

The FLQ October Crisis 1970 film is, for lack of a better word, boring. The fact that the film is in black and white is of no issue, in fact FLQ October Crisis 1970 is very pleasing to look at and watch. The video compilation presented many scenes that are fun to watch and is intriguing to see the historical context of that time. Seeing the protest, conferences, and speakers during this time really sells the message that the video is trying to get across, and shows how important the political scene in Canada was during this time. However, the narration of this film destroys any enjoyment that one might have watching this film. The narration is so monotone that it makes a metronome sound like its playing a Beethoven symphony. The Narration could put a person with insomnia to sleep. If this was shown in a high school class, everyone, without a doubt, would be asleep including the teacher. If you can get past the narration, the information presented in the film is very informative and interesting. It outlines the political turmoil in Canada during the time wished to be independent. The biggest point of the film is the differences between several political parties and the struggles that followed suite due to these struggles. The film presents many interview from both sides that seemed pretty heated giving the film a slight edge that is dulled by the narration once more. Overall, I would not recommend this film. Although the information in the film is presented in a unique way, the narration makes this film not worth the watch. There is without a doubt, a better way to learn the information presented in this film. Given all these parameters, I would rate FLQ October Crisis 1970 a 4/10.
