Mixed feeling

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2018)

Firstly, the actors are invested, particulary Mel Gibson who proves ones again that it is a talented actor.
Then, this film tells a war trough the story of a family, which makes it more touching and rich in emotions. We focus a lot on the characters, even if some twists, about family, friends, soldiers or even slaves make it tragic. Indeed, as the film happens during a war, there are a lot of fights and so many deaths.
The film shows us a human side in terms of solidarity but also of treason.
This film is moralistic because it shows us all aspects of a war (horrors, deaths, material damage ...) but also the hope that remains and the courage present all the time.
To conclude I think this movie is a masterpiece in all aspects of a war movie.
