I guess I like this movie more when I saw it when I was younger. It felt more impactful and left a more interesting feeling than what I just had now. It’s an interesting way to retail history in light of how dark the times were. But being a father and just constantly lying to your kid to try to make things better this isn’t real at all. So I guess maybe that’s part of the reason why it doesn’t resonate me now. I still have a little bit of nostalgia for it and that’s probably why I gave it to six but I’m just kind of contemplating how I really feel about it.
