I was watching this true to life movie more than 10 times. I really love this movie for it is really happens in History of World War II. This movie teaches the values of Love not just on a special someone but also Love your best friend & especially your country. It also teaches the watchers to respond to the call of duty, acceptance, forgiveness, sacrifices & friendship. I think the movie teaches us a lot. You should watch this movie.
