Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (25 January 2009)

I can't say I didn't like the movie, but to me, the success of it sounded greatly overrated. The movie works with incredibly strong story, however, the filmmakers in my opinion didn't process it into an atmosphere and plot the story truly deserved. The first segment of the movie takes part in 1950ties, and you could say it's long and even boring. Two others are in 60ties and 90ties. The characters are not lively enough, they're distant and reserved - they only deliver very specific parts of themselves that are very closely related to story. The plot is very passive and often predictable.
Seeing the movie and reading the movie's description on IMDb does not make much of a difference.
That's in my opinion very sad, because the story had excessive potential to be breathtaking and stunning journey into WWII tragic events and people's lives affected by it, taking in account the human aspect of involved individuals.
