I love this movie because the Second World War is a period of history that interests me enormously. Furthermore Jude Law is excellent in this role. I cried a lot because this film is very affecting.
This film is part of a dark and austere atmosphere. But at the end the music is joyful, germans are defeated .
For me it's a great film because it is exciting, realistic, there is action and a beautiful love story, it's perfect!

You must have liked the film Schindler's list then.

Yes, I have cried a lot too.
