Touching and very poignant. A reminder for the younger generation that Freedom is never free. Beautifully filmed too. Brosnan simply doesn't look old enough to be 92+ and it's clear a fair bit of creative work was done to age him. That his character says very little throughout adds to the realism of the character. The story brings together all ages and nationalities and the whole ethos of the film is anti-war and the waste of it all. The filming around the Commonwealth War graves was important and should attract more attention for them via tourism. I would like to have actually seen some location filming on the beaches of Normandy since this was what the film was about; a return trip to there. I did spot an error though. The super Paxette camera was not produced until long after the war, ironically by Germany.
