A rare piece of gem!!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2011)

I just wonder what could make me watch the 2 hrs long movie at 3:30 am?..
I don't like the movies regarding the middle eastern wars at all.. That is how I thought before watching this one... I just gave it a chance... And wasn't intending to finish it... Just wondered why this movie has been rated 8.2...
It's a quite long movie actually but you don't feel and don't complain while you watch till the end... slow pace is easily adapted and even makes you ask for more...
The movie contains many flashbacks which at first looks like a historical review of situation of those days... But then you realize the real mastery in telling the story in front of that strong historical background... The flashbacks and the real time connected by the end of the movie in such way that feels like there's no other way to understand and really ''feel'' the movie...
The story itself is not comparable to any other one... at least I haven't watched a movie with such a strong and different scenario... very very powerful movie...
This movie deserves applause and all kinds of rewards...
I strongly advise this movie to everyone over 16 yrs old... as it is not a ''feel good'' or a ''have fun time with family'' movie... just a very very good piece of art... a master's work...
I'm very very happy that I watched it!!!
