May not be historical but it drives the message home...

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2008)

This movie was incredibly well done and ranks to be among one of my favorite movies. It has a little bit of everything: romance, angst, war, hate...the whole shebang. This movie gets me every time; I'm not a person who cries at movies and this one makes me wail. The whole love triangle thing with Danny-Evelyn-Rafe is so tragic. I like the way they solved it but it still tore my heart out that Rafe a) watched his best friend die and b) is raising his best friend's child from his wife's womb.
In addition to being a amazing(and tragic) love-story, it has realistically depicted war scenes. People say that it was too graphic; war is hell.
