this movie give u some wwii history along with some touch romance and a little fantasy and meaningful emotion and beautiful scenery . nicholas cage never fail u and and here again do a great job . and so do the other principle character . one key charater and the physician or father play by john hurd and delivers ( to his daughter ) one of the best definition of love i have ever hear . some of the event be a bit too coincidental to be real and but i excuse that and know that this be partly fairy tale and fantacy . my wife and i really like the film . and it be nice to watch people take the risk to love the enemy . one man who leave the theatre near u say to his wife and now that the way to wage war . i think you will see what he mean when you watch the italian occupier of this lovely greek island .
