While sitting at a well known theatre, for some random movie, this trailer popped up. I was like I need to watch this movie by all means. The trailer sparked some curiosity and the thought that someone was willing to fight a war as big as WWII "unarmed !!" baffled me. To top it all up it is very much based on a true story. Then of course my memory got a little jittery about the title. After watching this movie make it to almost every top must watch lists I linked it at all up and the urge to watch this masterpiece grew bigger. So there I was, tickets all booked and geared to experience war like none other. There were some fears such as "what if it is just another - FURY" - a magnum opus in its own right. But trust me this movie is way beyond expectations. It talks about the struggles of war, a family with unsettling kids rooted in the 7th Day Adventist Church beliefs.
