Is it Anti-FLQ
At the end, in the shack, why on earth the goon go get his gun ? The movie seemed to suggest he was about to shot anyone who would quit the FLQ. It sounds pretty much anti-FLQ to me.
shareI thought the film gave a good representation of the FLQ. It described how it operated, the reasons behind its inception, as well as the people involved in it. The leader was pretty clear on making his beliefs known that violence was the only way to change the future of Quebec. He wanted the younger members to understand that they weren't going to back down no matter how many people got killed.
I don't think the writer/director was taking a stand either way. Since it was based on a true story it was focused on the teenager, Corbo, and his introduction and actions within the group. I'm not sure how much was fact and how much fiction.
Any 'terrorist' or 'freedom fighter' group is going to involve violence and ultimate disregard for those killed in the struggle. I think the film's aim was to show how a relatively naive person can get caught up in something that becomes more violent than anticipated.
In any case, I thought the film was well-done.

The defeated never write history. You'll never know whether they were intimidating or threatening their members and sympathizers, although it is exactly what the establishment wants you to believe.
