Review

fallen asleep both times i’ve watched this movie. this time i rewound so i could actually watch the whole thing. it’s a fine little story about love with war as a backdrop. both the leads were good, but it didn’t feel like much was happening. i didn’t see any great evolution of the characters and the plot is pretty thin. liked it better this time around, though, and can recommend it for the performances alone. the final movement of the score was really good, though i don’t know who did it because several composers did work on the film and were not credited. my grandpa’s book has them all listed, but doesn’t give that kind of detail for that would require another lifetime’s worth of work.
