Rating:  - This is a wonderful story of extraordinary women!
Cate Blanchett is unforgettable, playing a young, ineffectual nurse who blooms under horrible life-threatening circumstances. One scene, with her character literally fighting for her life in a horrifying struggle, will stay with you for a long time. I HIGHLY recommend this movie!
Rating: - A realistic portrayal of WW II on par with Schindler's List!
Having heard about WW II from my father who fought in the South Pacific, I recognized much of the memorabilia used in this film as authentic. I was once again moved and awed by the ability of the human spirit to prevail under such daunting, adverse circumstances. We do well to preserve such depictions of history for future generations to know the truth of the horrors that humans have wrought on one another. I was and am still deeply moved by this movie and am very glad this story came to light through the tremendous acting ability of such wonderful women.
Rating: - Great movie..not sugar-coated like a lot of war films
This was one of the best films depecting what the Japanese put women through in their camps. I know several persons, men and women, who were held by the Japanese in WWII, and the horror stories they tell are as bad as any of the German holocost stories. The acting was great, the pain believable, and the story true. Thanks to all involved with the making of this movie for telling this story.
Rating: - reaching for and the attainment off inner strength within us
I saw this video and my emotions overtook me , my mom and my 2 older brothers where in the camps in Sumatra.The acting is first rate, and the characters misery and emotions just flow out of the screen . It bares the human soul, from the cruelty of one Japanese officer to the compassion of onother. A must see for those seeking to blame their problems on everyone and everything else. See REAL suffering and realize how fortunate we all are.
Rating: - A wonderful movie
Yeah, sure, it's a chick flick, but still, it's a GREAT movie. Hey, Jane Austin's books are considered "chick novels" but make them no less great literature!
The story is excellent and inspiringly, and acting great, and the people will probably remind of someone who know. The story reminds of us something we seem to skim over in history class, the Japanese really WERE horrible to their prisoners. No Hogan's Heros here, just plain cruelty that slaps you in the face.
Screw Leonard, it's WWII movie, what do you expect? "Maybe, for a change of plot, the Japanese will win in this flick." How much unpredictability do you want?!
