5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent movie about a great politician, August 4, 2004
This review is from: Sadat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw Sadat back in 1993. I was impressed with his skill as a politician, how he survived, though despised, under Gamal Abdel Nasser, when his peers were taken away one by one, and later as Egypt's leader as the first Arab nation in achieving the highly unpopular yet sorely needed peace with Israel.
This movie is a bit long (2 VHS). I would recommend to set aside at least 5 hrs with breaks to see it in one seating.
I feel the movie brings out what a true great politician is supposed to be: someone able to negotiate through difficult circumstances and great opposition, bidding his time to achieve a worthy goal.
I highly recommend this movie. It could even have a place in a college-level Political Science course!
P.S.: I wish they would reissue it as DVDs. It is a classic.

Informative but fast, June 4, 2000
This review is from: Sadat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The movie was very informative but because of time ristrictions it skipped a lot of critical events in Sadat's life. Some events in the movie can be argued but the movie was well acted out and directed.

Very Informative and Interesting, March 9, 1999

This review is from: Sadat [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Sadat is a good film. I was using it for my audio/visual source for a school presentation and it gave me plenty of information and helped me to understand the Arab-Israeli conflict better and also early Egypt. This is both informative and exciting.
