It took off slow but really definitely picked up.

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2001)

This movie had alot of hype before it came to theaters, so I was kind of wary about it. When it took off slow, I became even more wary of it. I was, however, very happy with how the movie started developing later on. The movie got you more and more enveloped in it as it went on.
After watching the ending, you realize that the movie was actually better because of the slow beginning. This movie was way different from movies like "Saving Private Ryan", in the sense that it was more of a love story (for girl and country). Even though saving private ryan was a love of country movie, it was more about being a team. This movie focused on one hero, who made everyone want to be a team.
Without this movie taking off slowly, I don't believe that they could have pulled off much of a love story, involving the girl. I loved this movie and think it is a must see, for everyone who likes watching era related true stories.
