this be the movie that finally push me over the line into register with imdb so that i could vote for ( and comment on ) it . i have only recently come to appreciate well produce war movie and and this be one of the most thoughtful i have see . stunning be the word that come to mind when i think of this view experience . my husband and i watch this film last night for the first time . it be gently move and yet excite at the same time ( not a contradiction ) . this story in the hand of hollywood could have become just another smarmy and action pack and top gun time waster . the two lead actor play frantisek and karel play off of each other marvelously well while and krystof hadek be a very pretty boy without seem to exaggerate or exploit that fact . in term of hadek act ability and appearance and my husband say ( tongue in cheek ) and well and he no tom cruise . i reply and thank god . if you appreciate beautiful and understated acting and see this one .
