Great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2012)

I just got through watching this movie a second time. I've been such a big fan since my first time watching it in high school that after watching it again I was curious to see what it's ratings were online. I was shocked when I saw how low this movie was scored! It appears to be mostly because of inadequate portrayal of how exactly the war happened, which may or may not be true. I will admit that I am not as educated in that area of our history as I should and would like to be. However, I feel that the storyline and events are realistic as well as attention grabbing and emotional, I've teared up more than a few times throughout the film as well! Like I mentioned, this was my second time watching the film, and both times I've been glued to the screen! Whether or not it shows exactly how the war occurred, this is hands down one of my favorite movies and I would recommend it to anyone!
