One of the most powerful movies I've ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2003)

I'm a history and peace studies student and have a big spot in my soul for war movies. I thought this movie would be pretty good, little did I know it would be phenomenal, not to mention one of the most moving movies I've seen.
The acting, the setting, the cast, the costumes, all were above par. The story itself is what made the movie wonderful to me. The last half hour moved me beyond words, and (being the female that I am!) all I could do for the next few hours was think about it and cry.
In short, this movie is right up there with Gettysburg, Schindlers List, and The Pianist (my favorite war movies)...I was lucky enough to see a sneak preview, would love to see it in the theatre again, and can't wait to buy it on DVD.
Extremely powerful, 10/10, go see it!
