pondering the main themes which affected me: LOVE - HOPE - TRUST

Rating: Null/10 (20 July 1999)

The LOVE of the wife to board the train to the unknown. The LOVE of the husband to send their music over the air-waves. Who can ever forget those so poignant moments? As Will Shakespeare wrote: "If music be the food of love....." The love of the father for his son, in spite of the horrendous situation, to give him HOPE. The actual 'making' of the tank - the prize for gaining points.
The evocative memories of the zany classroom scene, and the 'translation' in the barracks! The TRUST of Giosue in his Dad - one will NEVER forget his 'It's true!' As St Irenaeus, in the 2nd Century said, 'The glory of God is man fully alive' - so it was with Guido, Dora, and Giosue.

Thank you Roberto! 5 stars for this profound film.
