compare to battle of britain and this be a real film and with real character and a real plot . battle of britain be basically a documentary with the occasional lawrence olivier and michael caine and but the real protagonist be the spit and the hurricane and etc . here and on the other hand and you have two well wrought character ( actually three ) and a real plot . i strongly recommend it to anybody and even to those who be not particularly fond of war movie . it well film and and i wonder what the director might do if he have the big capital behind him . and i do not think that it over sentimental . it only that in the fighter you have real people and with real feeling and a real life as real a any fictional life in any great film .
