Not overrated, perfectly rated

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2018)

I am seeing a ton of reviews here saying that the movie was way too overrated. I would disagree here. Sure, it may lack the true facts, I am no war veteran and I don't know the details about the true events any more than a peanut would. But... But, what I can surely say touched me was what war is. I have seen other war movies. It's all action and what not. I disagree that it was too loud. The music honestly makes you feel the magnitude of how intense it gets. Above all, the movie portrays Hope. It doesn't allow you to lose hope, no matter how bad a situation keeps getting. It makes you believe in humanity. The ending scene where Farrier saves the people at the Mole, the scene where Tommy reads the newspaper on the train, the scene where the people at the station start cheering the war heroes, despite the men thinking that they would be welcomed with nothing but pitiful glares, the ultimate final scene where Tommy just looks up... That very moment defines great storytelling.
An absolutely well done film, undoubtedly.
