All I have to say about this film is that it is a masterpiece. Probably one of the most powerful films ever bought to the screens. It is Incredibly stunning and spreads the message of how terrible war is in a very unique way. I also believe that this film was strangely underrated at the Oscars, after been nominated for 7 awards including best picture. Along side Saving Private Ryan it lost to Shakespeare in love. For me this film has a very deep meaning to it and you have to watch and listen very carefully to understand it. I would recommend this film to anyone, because for me I believe this is one of the greatest films ever made. It may not be a hardcore action movie, but it has something else to it. Moving at a slow pace, before delivering its killer punch line. YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM BEFORE YOU DIE
