Stunning

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2000)

In any lesser movie, the closing sequence played out to Lennon's 'Imagine' might seem sentimental or pretentious. In this film, with the harrowing events proceeding it, this is by no means the case.
There is little I can say about the film that a hundred critics have not said. I'll just say this - even if you don't agree with the politics of the film, with its emphasis on underlying the mistakes that America made in its foreign policy in Asia, just watch it for the film making of the highest quality. If you don't feel even slightly moved by this film, then there is something wrong with you.
