The Film For Which Julia Will Be Remembered
Added 4/18/2009
I'll always remember the name Raul Julio for this picture. I guess I don't really remember him in other films except for smaller roles. This was one of his acting career highlights, I would assume.
This is a powerful movie based on history in the late '70s in El Salvardor, where a country's leaders were killing thousands of dissidents including clergy in the Roman Catholic Church. Julia plays "Archbishop Romero." He is interesting to watch and the center of the story.
This is a violent, sometimes unpleasant movie to watch but if your concerned about profanity or sex, you don't have to worry: it's not here. That's hard to find in a modern action-drama.
I have serious questions about the slant in here. Knowing the film world, I know which way it would side politically and, frankly, I don't know the real story in this particular case....but I do know as a movie, it's not bad. I'm glad it's finally out on DVD.

Well done film of an amazing man

It has been a while since I have seen this film and I am little surprised that it seems to be out of print. I recommend this to anyone who wants to see a story of faith in action in the face of overwhelming odds.

Must See - It WILL change you.

Great acting by Raul Julia, of course, somewhat predictable, but POWERFUL nevertheless. Romero's message for us all still resonates today, and there is a reason why his statue now adorns Westminster Cathedral, next to MLK and Dietricht Bonhoffer. See it and then think about it. You might find yourself...changed. And that's a good challenge for us all.

Film plus novel
Added 9/21/2007
The powerful film, Romero, always amazes my college classes. I use it to introduce Graciela Limón's novel, In Search of Bernabé. The two are perfect for each other.

With a little research, awkward pauses would be minimal and Ted Leonard would have stage presence.
