A great anti-war film, maybe one of the greatest...

Rating: 9/10 (14 March 2006)

A very powerful film. This movie is one of the strongest anti-war testimonies of our time, without hardly ever showing the actual fighting itself. It shows the pain of the victims instead...
It possesses the kind of emotional power only true stories have and unfortunately, all that is portrayed in this film really happened. Even though the film doesn't actually show very much of the killing and bloodletting directly, it is still more painful to the viewer than a strong punch to the stomach...
The characters are real, earthly creatures like any one of us, you can feel their pain and you don't sympathize with them, you hurt together with them while watching this film. Well done, a great film, a film that really needed to be made!
