Excellent movie. Topic Summary suggests this is a sappy chick-flick set in war times. Trust me - this is nothing like Cold Mountain (although I enjoyed that movie as well) or Pearl Harbor (I did love the actions bits). It's pretty intense and very well shot & directed, with some truly postcard-worthy picturesque vistas. Very well acted and it has a 5-minute-long tracking scene that will go down as one of the most memorable shots ever. Right up there with the ones from 'Children of Men' in terms of wow-factor.
Knightley looks stunning and makes you wonder how much more awesome she would look if she could add a little meat on her bones.
I saw it as part of a subsidized house trip ($4 to see a normally $9.00 movie). Not the typical movie that I would watch, but I certainly enjoyed it. I'd recommend seeing it.
It's got great writing, acting, and visual aesthetics. I'm a little biased in that I'll sit through anything with Keira Knightley in it, but yeah- if you like good movies and can enjoy a period drama, you'll enjoy it.
