One of the Best WWII movies I've seen

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2006)

I would highly recommend everyone watch this and intend to have my young sons watch it as they love WWII movies and so many times I have to restrict them from watching excellent current war movies because of the flagrant language or explicit sex thrown in. This story was compelling and very well told. I'm so glad the story was preserved so close to the actual account.
I was also surprised and interested to see the contrast between good and evil on both sides of the armies. You don't see that often, usually one side is villainized and the other sainted. Another good teaching point for kids (would be GREAT for history classes in school) was how the Medic, Gould, learned through experience that the enemy was also a person and I also believe he began to believe by the end of the "story" that God was real through the life of Deacon, gently, tortuously portrayed.
