Truly artistic

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2017)

This movie is artistically and well done, but as such, it can also move slowly at times. This movie reveals the horrors of war, poverty, greed, falsehood, and prejudice. Some of the horrors of war are graphically displayed. There is one very sad scene of a dying man in a hospital. There is a very touching moment where Keira Knightley calls her true love home to her. Large portions of the movie deal with the struggle for atonement and several of those moments are very poignant. When I rate a movie, part of my rating is my own enjoyment throughout, as opposed to the quality of the film. This explains why I haven't given it higher marks.
