Funny, Sad, Inspiring, As Perfect As a Movie Can Be

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2020)

There's no such thing as a perfect 10, but this movie comes close. The movie lures you in with its comedy, but gradually overtakes you with its tragedy, yet still maintains a sense of optimism. (I know that sounds nonsensical , but if you watch the movie you'll see what I mean.) Captain Klenzendorf's final scene is one of the most moving scenes in cinema ever, yet it happens so quickly that you don't even appreciate its significance immediately. The beginning and ending musical selections are stunningly perfect.
