Just saw this last night. Fantastic movie. The cinematography was absolutely stunning, especially the last battle scene and the car scene because they were both shot in one take without cuts! absolutely ridiculous
Did anyone catch the Auschwitz and Abu Ghriab references?
from imdb:
When Miriam is taken off the bus in the refugee camp you can hear the song "Arbeit Macht Frei" by The Libertines. "Arbeit macht frei," meaning "Work shall set you free," was written above the entrance at the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz.
and
In the scene where Miriam (Pam Ferris) is taken off the bus at Bexhill, the camera pans by several cages with prisoners in them. One of the prisoners seen is the infamous "hooded man" from the Abu Ghraib prison torture pictures. He is seen in the exact pose as the real pictures.
