World War 2 told in a very different way.

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2018)

I can see why people don't like this movie. It is VERY different from the usual telling of a war tale.
I was blown away by how much this movie made me feel. Blown away because for a movie about war there was very little dialogue, very little action and very little blood (comparing it to the likes of Saving Private Ryan). Having said that it struck me deeply. I love the way this movie unfolds. It flips timelines quickly and often. There is almost no character development. But it all works perfectly together. I can't remember the last time I was paying attention to the music so much in a movie as I would find myself tensing - while watching people walking on a beach.
The music was definitely setup to disturb you while you watch certain events unfold. The very few action scenes were made extra tense because the music was so perfectly done.
I loved this movie and would recommend it to anyone although I think I would warn them that it's not going to be what they expect.
