I think that the film was good for my personal taste. There was a good use of playing different parts in time, this meant that the story was revealed as you go along and answered questions you might have been thinking. Although, there were a few characters that were not very well introduced so you had no real dealing for them. Also when some of the bad things happened, nobody really showed Amy real effect ion to them or pity. When the scenes changed between being at home and at war the contrast changed from being sunny and happy but when it cut to war it was more dark and depressing. When both of the brothers went out to war, they didn't really care about what was happening aslong as their other brother was safe. There was definitely distinction between the classes in modern life, higher, middle and lower class. Throughout the film the music changed during the relative times. For example, when they were out in war the music changed to be sad and long, also playing a lot of violins. Whereas in summer back home it is much happier and quicker. In conclusion I would say that the film was very well choriographed and scripted well.
