The most affecting film I've ever seen-truly beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2007)

This film is one that deserves to be seen, whether you find it to be one of your favourite films or not. It's both amazingly beautiful and terribly sad, and overall, once you start watching it, you can't look away.
The characters are all done in a way that makes them so believable, and by the end of the film, I felt as if I was there with them. The way everything is done is so well-thought out. If it were done with even a single thing out of place, it could seem sadistic, or just plain pessimistic, but as it is, it feels like a story that needed to be told. I had read the internet synopsis beforehand, and was a bit skeptical, as I don't particularly like war films, but when I watched it, I was attached to the characters from almost the first line, and I cried on and off for almost the whole film the first time I watched it.
I would recommend this to almost everyone, although I would suggest you make ready a box of tissues as well. It is an amazingly good film that deserves to be watched.
