Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2004)

Personally, I really loved this movie. A lot. But that's just me. I realize that it got bad reviews, both from the newspapers and critics, and from people on this very site, but I disagree. Everyone rants about how it is historically inaccurate, has a "hollywood" plot, and does the soldiers on both sides injustice. However, and this may not be 100% right, most people who gave it such bad reviews were expecting a war movie, or a history movie, or a documentary, not a love story, which is what is primarily is. The attack is very important, don't get me wrong, but it is not the only thing happening, and is crucial to the plot. As long as you don't start this movie expecting it to be a documentary, accurate to the letter, I think you will really like it, as I did.
