Bus 174
Has anyone seen this, and what did they think?
I saw this the other night and it is one of the most unsettling, disturbing, amazing, tragic, and powerful films i have ever seen.
Its basically a documentary and real footage of when a gunman from the streets of Brazil held up a bus full of hostages for 4 hours.
I really recommend this if you havent seen it.
I couldnt stop thinking about it for ages afterwards, and its an incredibly tragic story, especially as its all real as it unfolds before your eyes.

Both films deal with a real life hostage situation, presenting events in chronological order and being careful not to give you any clues as to whats going to happen next, and it's almost as if you're watching a thriller, not a documentary. 'One day in September' was criticised for this approach by quite a few people, and I'll bet Bus 174 has been as well, but they're both fascinating films.
I knew bits and bobs about the Olympics one (ie I knew facts and figures but that was about it)..i didnt know HOW exactly is happened and it was all so amazing how something like this can happen in Germany not that long ago. Same with Bus 174, i had read about this in the news briefly when it happened but had no idea of the tragic outcome.
I remember I had to wait for this on DVD, because when I went to see it at the cinema, they'd cancelled it because too many people wanted to see Harry Potter!
