this be not a movie you watch for entertainment and at least most people i know would not . it portraits the cruelty to both body and mind that happen in a war pretty well and the character seem plausible and especially because you read their mind and something more often find in book and rarely in movie and however do very well in this piece . i would place it next to all quiet on the western front and die brücke in term of leave a lasting impression . i wish i could screen it at school and along with the other two movie however find a copy of it show to be pretty hard which be a shame .
