I sobbed throughout for many reasons. The futility of war, especially what's going on currently in the world. Our mortality, the process of aging, the remarkable acting. But best of all the fantastic use of the word Tosser by Caine !. Simple story, 1 big love affair and the terrors that war bring and how they mark people that fought in them. It won't be a success as ppl are enamoured with CGI, block busters and fantasies to give it a go. I'll recommend it to my kids just for the purpose of spending 2 hours of watching 2 artisans at work who have been criminally underused in recent years. Go see.
