Interesting movie.

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2005)

After viewing this movie once, it seems like a good flashback story movie. The reason I viewed this movie is the director is the same person who made the movie "Cold Mountain". I really liked that movie, and wanted to see if the same magic of the civil war romance would be on this world war 2 romance. It had some basic elements that were the same on both movies, such as strong character development and a romance in the context of war.
However, I felt rather bored viewing this movie as compared to Cold Mountain. I think Cold Mountain had far more interesting characters than this one, and I never felt board watching through it as this one. However, it had an excellent ending to the story, and overall it was an excellent story - just the pace was too slow and difficult to connect with the story. Perhaps it would resonate better with someone who was alive during, or just after that era (which to me is in the same boat as the civil war) since most of the positive reviews are from older audiences.
