if you don't do subtitles don't watch this movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2013)

This movie is one of the greatest ever made. The visual effects are some of the most engaging and impressive that I have seen and I have seen a lot of movies. It is not so much impressive in the way that CG is in Avatar but it is on it's own level. You just have to see it to understand. The story is very heavy and powerful. Some scenes were so shocking and powerful that I was actually shaking. There are horror movies that deal with strange and unlikely things like zombies, and don't get me wrong I love a good zombie or vampire movie. However, a film like this one that deals with war in a very smart and real way has a much bigger impact when something really bad happens than a movie that is clearly make believe. This movie deals with make believe and the surreal in a way that few other movies have been able to pull off well. What Dreams Come attempted this and did not quite hit the mark, this movie does a much better job of contrasting and blending what is real and what is imagination. Brilliant, brilliant movie. If you have a problem with subtitles do not waste your time, you will be disappointed and want to give the movie an unfair low rating which is an ignorant English speaking person thing to do. If you can deal with subtitles, watch this movie.
