A rare movie

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2006)

This movie had amazing war scenes, but it also told the story of a bond between brothers. The movie made the relationship between the brothers seem so real. It wasn't always a happy relationship, in fact many times it was tested and became tense, but somehow still endured after seeming to have died many times.
In the final segment of the movie I actually cried. I never cry when watching movies and I rarely cry on other occasions, but this movie....
When a movie draws you in so much that you feel true emotion, it really is an accomplishment. The movie does this subtly, at times you would think that there was nothing left to feel about, but I was surprised to see that there was. I think thats the best review a movie can get.
I really enjoyed the closing scene as well, I saw the end twice and the first time I saw it I thought it would have been better to end at the climax, but the message of hope in the final scene gives some relief from the bitter sorrow.
