Maybe I missed something, but I just didn't find this to be all that powerful or moving. It just seemed overdone and over hyped.

Rating: 5/10 (1 March 2011)

Maybe I need to see this movie again, but I just didn't find the story all that amazing or moving. Well moving sort of, but it isn't a movie I would want to see again. It was boring for the most part and I just didn't find the direction and story all that intriguing, the style and period makes this movie a bit interesting at first. But it starts to get boring bit by bit after a while, not I have seen a bunch of movies like this that goes in a similar direction but some of them was done better. The twist at the end was sort of touching, but that is about it when it comes to the most positive thing I can say about this movie. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't even find this movie to be all that powerful and after it was finished nothing really stuck with me. It just wasn't heart-wrenching although it tries very hard to go in that direction. And sometimes movies like this, after the credits start rolling I think about it later because of the impact of it, but that just wasn't the case for this movie. I wanted to like this movie, but I am not going to force myself to like it either. The cinematography is nice to look at and even beautiful at times though. And it did mash love, war, and human sins in a decent manner. It's basically a overdone and over hyped movie, but the acting in it is very well done.
5/10
