Extremely good movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2015)

I almost did go see this moving because of the impact the critic rating made on the movie. But when I reviewed the regular folks to actually go see it, I was sold. And I read most of the reviews and most were very favorable. I watch a lot of tear jerking movies and often I will experience some pain in my eyes as they thy to create tears. But when I watched this movie, the pain came again but also the tears, and more tears and more tears. I couldn't stop until most of the credits were over. Damn, this move really got to me. And that is what the movie was supposed to do. It wasn't the production and effects but the story that grabs you. Excellent story. War is terrible and World War II was extra terrible. Millions lost their lives, Jews, Germans, Russians, British, French and Japanese. Even two whole major towns in Japan lost millions of innocent civilians so the war could come to an end. If we attacked Japan taken beaches, many more lives would have been lost. My son spent 5 trips to Afghanistan and Iraq stationed with Green Beret Teams on remote fire bases going out trying to find and kill Taliban. Very dangerous work. We were on pins and needles waiting until he came home. And many of his friends did not make it or got seriously injured. This story is real to us because experienced the same feelings.
