made my boyfriend cry

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2004)

..ok, so he cries at a lot of movies. big whoop dee do. the point is that he cried and I did not which was astonishing. this is a very decent movie. I give it my utmost respect. although it didn't make me break down like the little girl that I am or move me to some deep contemplation, I have to say that it is a classic and must see. when I say classic I mean that the director knows his stuff.. the film is constructed well. it has a formal structure which is very fluid and easy to follow. not many anime movies do this (well not ones that I've seen) bottom line - watch this film - open your mind and see WWII from a new perspective. you'll appreciate the classic story telling and learn a thing or two about the far east.
