A film about love, death AND then, war.

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 1999)

I love war movies. I have seen great ones like Apocalypse Now. Most of them question what is the right conduct of a "good soldier", present confrontations between love and duty.
This one film gathers war characters that are much closer to real life --as I imagine it since I have never been to war myself, although I am an officer. Soldiers are more or less moral, more or less humanitarians, more or less generous, more or less courageous, etc. Like in civil life, we should admit. That is what makes this film so fascinating.
More: images are great, and the movie progresses through up hill (no pun!) and down dale, giving us the opportunity to rest from time to time, allowing the viewer time to think with the hero, or simply to savour magnificent sceneries.
