surprisingly powerful

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2007)

When I first heard about the movie, I thought it'll be some shiny, romantized, Hollywood story. The movie soon made me think otherwise. The movie carries a message, and uses the very well chosen and depicted means. The scenes are brilliant, characters believable for the most part, and thought 'it's just a movie' - and characters and acts in the story are not based on reality - it gives us a picture what was going on there , how horrible and inhuman it was, and how shameful and miserable is the world for allowing this. I recommend this movie to anyone who's in the mood for a deep story, thrilling action, and a will to give this topic a thought.
