In this article the author presents information related to the motion picture "Juarez." According to the author this is the latest offering of a new and ambitious Hollywood slowly emerging in opposition to the policy of turning out pictures that are primarily entertainment and avoiding anything that is political or controversial. The film runs for almost two hours, but one would like it to be twice as long. A complexity of life is attacked, individual fates and social conditions, historical facts and basic ideas, warfare and intrigue across the Atlantic.
