One of the greatest movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2012)

Is there another film that compares? I hope so. This is an inspiring and brilliant work, taking the side of truth and humanity rather than any particular side of a war.
It is very difficult to put into words. The film shows many points of view, nobody is a hero in general (but perhaps a hero in particular). There is a great deal of respect shown to human beings, and tragedy is treated equally. The utter brilliance of this film is in its honesty.
The director talks about "the dictatorship of truth" and this is in this film. It must have been tempting to make certain characters heroes and others into pure villains, but this wasn't done here. The personal sympathies of the viewer are really put to the test.
