DVD Reviews of The War at Home
DVD Review: BERKELEY IN THE SIXTIES is better
Summary: 3 Stars
At the moment, I am the only three-star reviewer and the lowest reviewer this film has.
I was led to it by a reviewer of BERKELEY AND THE SIXTIES who said this film was better.
I think, on the contrary, that while it's a good documentary it's far less balanced than BERKELEY and in some respects clumsier. It's hard to see whether we are supposed to admire or be ashamed by the people who blew up the Army math research building on campus, killing one and wounding three. One of the bombers says he was ashamed at what he had done, but later he is shown being arrested, and immediately the Paris peace talks are shown and voices say that the student demonstrators were right in what they did.
Then there's the simple fact that a larger population, including Governor Ronald Reagan and the Black Panther headquarters, was involved in Berkeley's activities, so BERKELEY IN THE SIXTIES is inherently more interesting and wide-ranging.
WAR AT HOME is also confusing at times in a way BERKELEY is not. When police confront students, it's not always clear who is winning or why the students have assembled in the first place. BERKELEY may be inaccurate about these things, as it gets most of its testimony from the demonstrators themselves, but it is less disorienting. To my mind, BERKELEY is an altogether more intelligent movie.
