Something is missing...

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2017)

I think a 9/10 suits this movie even though I can't call it a favorite of mine
I decided to check this movie out because it was about a war and the idea of citizens helping out soldiers was interesting to me. However, as soon as I sat in that theatre I was confused. What exactly was the story here? We ended up following a couple people in the movie but none of them could really be called "the protagonist". Add to that the point of the movie didn't feel like it was to entertain us, instead it felt like it was trying to say "this is one of those things that happened at the time, these are the things people did in order to survive, to try and get home" and so forth
Aside from that I really formed an attachment to certain characters and was SO SAD to see them die. The sounds and panning made it all feel very suspenseful and it added to my feelings for the events and characters
Enjoyed it even though it's a much slower and different kind of movie I watch
