moving story, perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2006)

i will admit i never liked tom cruise until i saw this movie. now i love him.
like many rare great movies this takes you away into a far, nostalgic place.
it shows a beautiful love between a woman and the man who killed her husband because "he did his duty, you did yours", it shows a pure romance without even one sex scene (only one kiss in the whole movie, and the way an American solider admires the purity and and courage of his captors and is brave enough to change sides.
it is a perfect movie, worthy of Oscars all over. the photography is first class, so is the cast, the music is breathtaking, and the movie has so many timeless one-liners.
this movie made me cry and made me fly again and again.
