I agree, it was truly an excellent movie (even though it does star Brad
Pitt) It is on a par with Schindler's List, only easier to watch. I think
it is an excellent movie, that everyone should see. Perhaps even worthy of
the Best Picture award! (no, I don't work for any movie company, I am just
a college student.)
