Laughter and tears rolled into one.

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2005)

Despite the comedy, it touches the heart. You laugh and you cry. The world and political time it portraits, one can easily relate to. The special effects introduced were also ground breaking. You are taken on a fast paced emotional ride. The tears come from the way the movie drags you on this journey back and forth through utmost joy and bitter sadness in an unrelenting way. It is a love story, a war story, a story about friendship and family. It is about the dismal side and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. It teaches us also to laugh at our situation, no matter what. A lovely picture that will endure for sure.
