Highly Overrated But Still Good

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It is one of the movies which changes the viewer perspective in many things Full of life tragedies and suffering combined with hopes , dreams and fear It is a heartbreaking movie with a great real life contemplation. A lot of believes , principles and life views will changes after this kind of life pains. thanks for letting us knowing that without real life experience. Thanks for everyone participate in it

Fine performance from Alicia Vikander, revealing the sensuality beneath the intellect, the steel inside the woman.The men's performances work well, too, because the director has drawn out the essence: innocent young men cast into a furnace.Don't be fooled by the first part. This is not Masterpiece Theatre. But Brittain was the daughter of an upper class, wealthy family, and you can't understand the shock of the war's devastation without first experiencing her innocent, luxurious life before."You don't know what you have until you lose it." The book wasn't published until 1933, so this story represents the fruits of mature reflection on the personal costs of the war.If I have one objection, it's that in the hospital and war scenes, the women always seem so well groomed and their clothes so clean. I wanted more disheveled hair, and soiled, torn and patched uniforms,(For a film about the Great War from a different perspective, that of a Scottish farmer's wife, see "Sunset Song," with Agyness Deyn.)

I found that this movie was very sad because just like World War 2, loved ones were lost, overcrowding hospitals, soldiers,etc. Alicia Vikander was absolutely excellent at playing the role as the writer Vera Brittain. I seriously didn't know that Vera Brittain was a real person until before the credits that she was an actual help nurse during World War I. It really makes you think, what was it like back then? I'm sure it was pretty rough looking after all the injured and the dying soldiers at the same time. It probably was pretty exhausting for running around looking after everyone! It's heartbreaking that her fiancée, her brother, her brothers friend and many others she knew who fought in the war. I swear, even thought the actor's are not the actual people, it still breaks your heart. If you haven't cried while watching this, something is wrong here. It's just so sad, that's all I can say😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔 💔💔💔

Though fighting might not be the right word. The movie also seems to go a completely different direction at first, with the now Oscar winning actress in the front row. It remains about her and her feelings throughout, but you might think it would concentrate on another aspect of life. On the other hand, when war happens, everything else seems to not matter anymore. Even things you fought very hard for.Some decisions are not understandable, especially the way they are "explained" by the characters, but irrational thinking does hit us from time to time. The question is, if we can bounce back from mistakes (or if we're allowed to). This also shows how grim war can be and what toll it takes, especially from the young (as the song goes: "War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing"). Powerful performances make this a drama that is worth a watch
