The Best War Movie Ever? I Think So.

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

This was such a great movie, recommended by my brother no less, I was one out of two people in the cinema which was nice for me but a disgrace to British cinema goers, c'mon guys give a foreign film a chance!! I cried like there was a world ban on honey for the last fifteen minutes of the film, 'it's your little brother... answer me.' as he kisses the skeleton... sod an ancient Matt Damon at a pristine grave site, this movie pulled no punches, and plainly shows you war is truly hell. All the characters have flaws, and the ideology involved is not one sided or preachy, it really does allow you to observe the events rather than tell you how you should feel about them, where he blames his brother for the death of his fiancé, you clearly see both sides of the argument at the same time. Powerful stuff, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice, for the love of a brother and family.
