The relentless onslaught of death was agonizing. I kept thinking, "Stop dying!" When her brother died, and the moment when she thought she saw him outside the window...that was the last straw. It broke me.
The worst part is, a few years after that movie, the second world war started. And that peace you finally found will be lost again. And all those happy endings get broken up all over again. That is the true heartbreak in this.
This film literally took my breath away in parts. My grandfather was killed in this war, fighting for the British, in 1917. I have a photo of my grandmother and him on their wedding day, both young and beautiful, unaware of what was to come. When I was a young boy in the 1960s she told me once that she still missed him.
@@marii2808 Thank you for your sweet comment. I am 70 and I still remember what a wonderful person she was and still think of her often. None of us in the family now of course knew my grandfather but if she married him we all feel he had to be someone pretty special. When she told me that time she still missed him it was their wedding anniversary date. And it was that moment in childhood when you first realize the grown ups in your world had a life before you and had been young once.
One of the saddest films I think I've ever watched, but it's certainly an amazing and very moving story- it's unbelievable to think this is based on an autobiography. There are so many war films out there and history in school focuses so much on war that one almost becomes desensitised to the grim images we're so frequently shown, but this film really highlights the personal loss experienced by war that I think many fail to capture. Even if war films aren't your thing ordinarily, this is an absolute must-watch.
This trailer doesn't NEARLY do this movie justice. It's so much more than a love story, or just "another" silly romance set during a war. No. As someone on TUmblr perfectly phrased it, "it's a film about family, love (for family, friends, perceived enemies, and significant others), women’s rights, loss, the courage to do what you believe to be right, and staying strong." It's a movie about war, and the consequences of it. It's a look into the true horror that was The Great War. This movie struck me with emotions very few movies ever had in the past. I began sobbing moments after I stopped it. And I continued to sob for a good half an hour. The only two other movies that ever evoked this much emotion from me were 12 Years a Slave and The Schindler's List, and this movie is NOTHING like them (I mean, if you've seen those two, trust me it's not like THOSE), but it was just as emotional within its own respect. I got so lost into the story that I sobbed and felt Vera's pain. I was a sobbing, snotty mess by the time I finally calmed down. This movie is so beautiful. The cinematography, the brilliant acting, the storyline (also, given that this is based off of a memoir, that these specific events actually happened and weren't just made up from a morbid, romantic writer makes it even more beautifully heartbreaking). I initially decided to watch this because 1) Taron Egerton and 2) I'm a sucker for period dramas (especially love stories revolving around WWI or WWII)... but I was given so much more than I was expected. And this is now way up at the top of my list as one of my all time favorite movies.
You are fully right Valerie, I watched this movie by chance on Sky TV Italia two months ago and just after few minutes I understood that it was much more than a "war movie", it is something greater that explains to us that even in desperate moments such a world war our mind, our soul still cannot forget family, love, intellectual curiosity, culture, i.e. a "handful" of things, the only really relevant to our lives, that are those for which our life deserves to be lived. I watched it three times in a row, I couldn't stop watching again and again
Mhm its funny though xD the writers of GOT said in a panel that they think Kit looks like a 12 year old without a beard xD so mean 😛 I am glad he has this role, now he can prove that he can play more than just Jon Snow.
Alicia Vikander is establishing herself as a brilliant actress, her accent alone in this trailer is amazing considering she is Swedish and has already done a masterclass performance in "A Royal Affair" in which she spoke Danish, and she is appearing in multiple american films over the next few years.
I got a chance to meet her at a film festival screening (it was her first time seeing the movie herself). She was so sweet and attentive! Here's my review: cinemathirteen.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/testament-of-youth.html
What a hurtful and real frase.... " Our youth has been stolen from us"... We might not be living in a war right now but this economic crisis has changed our dreams and plans, we travel away from our friends or the love of our life just to find a job.... I feel like that too sometimes, that they have stolen our best years... I can't even imagine how unbearable it must have been at times of war and how much people suffer today around the world because of war...
+aniretakDB007 Our generation shall see the greatest of wars! It'll be upon us soon cos men's heart have never been so corrupt and greedy. Our technology has enslaved our despicable minds and everything that was supposed to be for good is now used for evil. We do well to live everyday as if it was our last. Terrible times are on the horizon. It starts tomorrow!
During exactly this time, 100 years ago, she was going through this all. Thinking about that breaks my heart. To be honest I've never heard of her before (I'm not from England) but i'm glad I know about her story now. The movie is brilliant. I can't imagine the pain she went through in such a short period of time and still managed to follow her dream as a writer.
I have just watched this movie and recommend anyone who is questioning themselves to watch it, to watch it. This movie was very well done and has a heartfelt story based on the original book by Vera. This shows another view point from the first world war, and shows the hardships for those that were left behind. I really do recommend this and i am planning on buying the book to read.
This movie is more than a story about war, love, friendship, women and family...There's something special about it that just fucked me up... i ve never cried like this before :,)...I can't believe people like Vera Brittain existed, she was so brave. *masterpiece*
I did a project on Vera Brittain in secondary school. She is an inspiration, and believe me her memoirs are incredibly emotional. If this film is close to reality as her memoirs then I can assure you this will be the most emotional film you'll ever watch. It will blow your mind... what happens is so sad - there's clues in the trailer, but I won't say anything else. Just watch this, and cry for months :-)
well her 3 friends go to war...one is her bro one is her bf and it's no hard to figure they all just might die or if they live they will never be same again. War is terrible.
It's a very heartbreaking story of a very strong woman who suffered too much. I just watched it with my husband and I started crying because we, too, decided to get married when my fiancee would have been back home on Christmas from far away and the whole time he was praying to get to see me again. We've been happily married for 13 years now
Watched it three times, every single time i ended up almost crying, it's very sad but very beautiful at the same time, a truly masterpiece that showed the crude reality of the effects of war.
This movie broke me. And everytime I watch it, it breaks me again. It’s one of the best movies I ever watched. The shots are so vulnerable and intimate. It’s such a delicate adaption of such a gruesome time and really never not actual and important. I advise everyone to watch it.
just watched it. alicia vikander is a brilliant actress. it really touched me. that movie deserved the oscar of my heart. i'm actually not really into war movies but this one is a must see. its about the fates of a war and not about the war itself. we call all this lives forced to be part of that horrible occurrence "war" but it's more just a war. the term "war" only tells you that there are fights going on associated with weapons and loud noises but we all forget the fates deeply involved in that...
Alicia Vikander again making us cry on a love story where there's a scene where she has to say goodbye to a loved one in a train station, wearing dresses and big hats and standing up for what she believes in. I'M UP FOR IT!
this movie was moving! I cried my eyes out and the depression even seemed to be tangible in some senses. and to know that this really happend makes the movie even better. honestly this film changes your world view. i totally recommend watching it... the actors are amazing and the screenplay is stunning. and many people here only comment on kit as being jon snow... i honestly think he profed with his performance that he is more than jon! he really is stunnig as roland!
I am movie maniac .I can assure you this is the best movie I have ever seen . I had a smile and tears throughout the movie . I have never cried this much in my life ..I went into the depression after watching this movie ..it was like grave of the fireflies but so much more than that and so much better.
Easily one of my favorites films of all times. Alicia Vikander's performance is outstanding! Quite a depressing story, especially if you think that is based on true events, but I couldn't help it; I loved it so much!
what a great movie I saw last night on boxxy software! Vera Brittain made me think about time, immortality, about unspeakable suffering which brings war to all who participate in it. The beauty of nature, the joy of life, aspirations, plans - everything is so fragile, so elusive.
Did I just see Colin Morgan?! what the!!! what an amazing cast omfg As soon as she mentioned her brother I knew this wouldn't be another war-love-story.
Yeah. It really isn't. Her brother's death crushed her more. And the film twisted the knife as war does by making us think he was going to live. She requested that her ashes be scattered on his grave in Italy. "...for nearly 50 years much of my heart has been in that Italian village cemetery."
Alicia Vikander is amazing. I can't wait to see this film. I know Saoirse Ronan was playing Vera at one point, and as much as I adore her as well, I don't think Alicia would have been discovered truly if she had not done this. Perfect casting
Luca Munro She is beyond brilliant. I've seen the film three times already, and she is shockingly great. If she doesn't get an Oscar nomination I will be stunned.
This movie is a masterpiece. It makes you wonder a lot about the implications of war and how little our lives are worth. Someday somebody will be the last person to ever think about us and then we will finally cease to exist. All those young men in the war, forgotten.
This sort of went under the radar.. I thought this film was one of those rare perfect occurences in cinema, from the script to the acting, directing, and cinematography, etc..
Yes, but the film is from 2014, and Atwell is in it, though Vikander is obviously the star. She was unknown still, with Ex Machina coming out the same year.
'How many generations get to take part in something like this?' Sadly- far too many. A stellar-looking & acted film- haunting, moving & even a little uplifting at times - a poignant memoir from someone who experienced it. I got the book as well - both are impossible to delve into without crying.
In a war so vast and brutal as WW1 where we had come to a new peak in weaponry but still were so far off from where we are now work that and medical technology for the wounded? The sheer number of men needed vs how many enlist now.
Wonderful and touching movie. Really makes you feel terrible for all the people involved in such horrendous event. On another note, Alicia crushed it in 2015. Her work is always excellent, she really disappears into every single character she plays.
This is a British story. The books are amazing for being a Woman's view of the WWI. Lots of men wrote of their experiences, but few women. No. It is not 'Atonement'. It is something much more profound. Read the books.
Rewatched it 3X and it still breaks my heart. So much human tragedy. I srly LOVE it as much as I do Legend of the Falls and The Painted Veil. The actors truly brought the story justice!
Such a wonderful and sentimental film, yet so incredibly underrated - seriously though, a very talented cast and though it may be an overused plot line - it still manages to stay unique. I really recommend seeing it!!!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Depicts what war does to the people that are left behind and the true devastation those people feel after they loose the people they held most dear.
If I want to cry I only need to watch this trailer, and my eyes are turning into springs. The movie and the soundtrack are masterpieces. The cast, especially Alicia is magnificent as well.
Thank you for recognising the fact that Colin Morgan and Kit Harington are nothing but characters in a series. What is wrong with basing movies off wars? Because this is true and so it is helping the new generation realise how horrible wars were and why they should never happen again, this movie and others like it are getting the word out to the younger generation because they probably won't read this book in English when it is assigned to them and if they won't read it for an assignment what makes you think they will read it for pleasure and enjoyment? Making a movie with well-known actors and actress's is the only way that this new generation will learn about these types of tragedies. And I do know that they probably only made this for money but if you look hard enough you will find that not everyone is money driven, some just want the world to be a better place.
Honestly speaking, I watched this movie because of Kit. Never thought it would affect me so much in the end that a few scenes kept on haunting me for days (like the one when Roland vowed to marry Vera the next time he came home from war). Amazing movie. ♡
im so looking forward for this movie i cant wait to see it and i dont think im nearly close to be ready to see colin morgan and kit harington in the same movie, it's gonna be great!
You need to change the caption and title of this video because the star is Alicia Vikander, not Hayley Atwell. And Alicia is so amazing in this movie she deserves credit!
really wish people would see Kit Harington as an actor capable of doing different roles and not just Jon Snow. He's actually really good in this movie. His breakdown scene in the beach made me cry.
wow just watched this, and its INCREDIBLE !! Such an amazing film, and all the actors in it are so talented and portray their characters so well. I honestly had no idea what was going to happen, this movie really does keep you on your toes!
I've watched this movie, its so sad just thinking about all the women that were left behind all alone because of the war. it destroyed a generation. its a really touching movie lovey acting by the leading lady
Alicia is a heartbreaker. Watched A Royal Affair with Mads Mikkelsen and her and it was so emotional for me. I dont think im gonna watch this till im ready.
I was really upset that this movie never really came out in theaters around the US. The book was very compelling and I was eager to watch the adaptation.
I really like this movie, i've cried and was enlighted. Wish more people could have seen this movie. I love it, its just sad how war could affect lives of millions and millions of innocent people, youth
Warning, this is not for the light-hearted people out there. It is not about a love story set in WW1, and it's not about Kit's character. It is about so many different people and how they were affected and hurt by the war. I was absolutely devastated by the end of the movie, and it touched every fiber of my heart. It really opens up your mind on how the war affected not just a single person, but everyone around them also, like a domino effect. Alicia Vikander did such a beautiful job (though I was originally watching because Kit is in it), she was amazing, her acting was breathtaking, and now I'm basically gonna watch every movie of her's. It's such an inspiring movie that will always always live in my heart. Great job ❤️
This movie completely broke me... It was brutally honest in the way it portrayed the effects of war.
War is avoidable insanity...
So you watched the film ?
Can you rate it out of 10??
The relentless onslaught of death was agonizing. I kept thinking, "Stop dying!"
When her brother died, and the moment when she thought she saw him outside the window...that was the last straw. It broke me.
The worst part is, a few years after that movie, the second world war started. And that peace you finally found will be lost again. And all those happy endings get broken up all over again.
That is the true heartbreak in this.
Well, she was fortunate not to lose anyone in WW2. But for many people, yes, that was the case.
This film literally took my breath away in parts. My grandfather was killed in this war, fighting for the British, in 1917. I have a photo of my grandmother and him on their wedding day, both young and beautiful, unaware of what was to come. When I was a young boy in the 1960s she told me once that she still missed him.
Absolutely heartbreaking, I am so sorry to hear about this. Wishing all the best for you and your grandmother.

Ysabel Castro Thanks
Jon Snow without a beard looks like a very different person.
Yes. He does. He looks really good.
Mhm its funny though xD the writers of GOT said in a panel that they think Kit looks like a 12 year old without a beard xD so mean 😛 I am glad he has this role, now he can prove that he can play more than just Jon Snow.
True, people always say that he had this 'same face' every time. HOW 'BOUT NOW? I can't even tell that its Kit. xD
+The Korean Jesus no he is sexier as Jon Snow with that tougher look :)
+The Korean Jesus Is that the actor of Jon Snow? Whaaha now I see it...
Alicia Vikander is establishing herself as a brilliant actress, her accent alone in this trailer is amazing considering she is Swedish and has already done a masterclass performance in "A Royal Affair" in which she spoke Danish, and she is appearing in multiple american films over the next few years.
She is so classically beautiful, graceful. Just lovely :D

Lewis C she is so very beautiful and seems very intelligent as well.
Lewis C yep shes great!
she also plays Hayley Atwell in this one

aniretakDB007 No worries, war will come again. In fact, it is already here.
DamnRiGhT Your right about it already being here. WWIII is knocking at our countries doors
Machuupi it's in the trailer itself at 1:39
aniretakDB007 It feels bad, but it's actually the best we've always gotten.
+aniretakDB007 Our generation shall see the greatest of wars! It'll be upon us soon cos men's heart have never been so corrupt and greedy.

I can't imagine the pain she went through in such a short period of time and still managed to follow her dream as a writer.
Fiona M. Her horrors were actually much worse than depicted in this film. They did a great job, but there is only so much time.
I was mentally shouting JON SNOW, MERLIN, EGGSY at the screen... At least I know I'm not the only one...
Megan Pearson It's basically Downton Abbey starring Jon Snow and Kingsman.
Omg I thought I was mistaken but it IS Eggsy! Woo! 😄 another reason to watch 😂
Megan Pearson Have you ever heard of actors playing different roles? That's what's happened here. Fanciful concept, I know, but hey, it happens.
organboi Shocking - but when that is the role there most famous for its what you remember there faces as... Fanciful idea, I know.
Megan Pearson Where is Merlin ? >.
This movie broke me. Don't watch it if you don't want to see a realistically depressing depiction of war :'(
We experienced the war of Iran and Iraq... We know exactly how a war looks... It's sad, very sad, frightening and wild...
Ikr this movie broke me too
same. i was hoping it wouldnt turn out as i thought
can i ask you ..the end turn to happy end or i will cry
+Mohotmail Mail you will feel super depressed, sit while the credits roll, listen to the soft music and ponder life.
I have just watched this movie and recommend anyone who is questioning themselves to watch it, to watch it. This movie was very well done and has a heartfelt story based on the original book by Vera. This shows another view point from the first world war, and shows the hardships for those that were left behind. I really do recommend this and i am planning on buying the book to read.

same for me, I sat there during the credits listening to the soft music feeling completely overwhelmed with emotions.

"I'm coming back"

I am movie maniac .I can assure you this is the best movie I have ever seen .
I had a smile and tears throughout the movie . I have never cried this much in my life ..I went into the depression after watching this movie ..it was like grave of the fireflies but so much more than that and so much better.

what a great movie I saw last night on boxxy software! Vera Brittain made me think about time, immortality, about unspeakable suffering which brings war to all who participate in it. The beauty of nature, the joy of life, aspirations, plans - everything is so fragile, so elusive.

Isn't that Alicia Vikander and not Hailey Atwell?
Sayak Choudhury thinking the same too!!!
agree
she is
Me too I was abt to say this is the new Lara croft
Yes, but the film is from 2014, and Atwell is in it, though Vikander is obviously the star. She was unknown still, with Ex Machina coming out the same year.
'How many generations get to take part in something like this?' Sadly- far too many.
A stellar-looking & acted film- haunting, moving & even a little uplifting at times - a poignant memoir from someone who experienced it. I got the book as well - both are impossible to delve into without crying.
In a war so vast and brutal as WW1 where we had come to a new peak in weaponry but still were so far off from where we are now work that and medical technology for the wounded? The sheer number of men needed vs how many enlist now.
THE KING IN THE NORTH!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
THE KING IN THE NORTH!!!!!
Ps: i knew it i would have found this on this video😂
on ya way lord commander
This movie broke my heart. I cried and cried.
Wonderful and touching movie. Really makes you feel terrible for all the people involved in such horrendous event. On another note, Alicia crushed it in 2015. Her work is always excellent, she really disappears into every single character she plays.
Kit Harington, Colin Morgan and Taron Egerton in one single movie. I feel blessed.
I was expecting everyone to come back and alive but never happens. I’m so devastated
war is such,only the dead have seen it's end :-(
I was holding my tears for almost half of the movie😭 i don't wan't to cry but i failed.
This is a British story. The books are amazing for being a Woman's view of the WWI. Lots of men wrote of their experiences, but few women. No. It is not 'Atonement'. It is something much more profound. Read the books.
Rewatched it 3X and it still breaks my heart. So much human tragedy. I srly LOVE it as much as I do Legend of the Falls and The Painted Veil.
The actors truly brought the story justice!
Such a wonderful and sentimental film, yet so incredibly underrated - seriously though, a very talented cast and though it may be an overused plot line - it still manages to stay unique.
I really recommend seeing it!!!
Oh my! I lack the strength to watch such an emotion stirring movie. I have been told there is much much more to the movie than the trailer shows.
buckets of tears were shed while watching this movie
One of my favorite movies of all time. Depicts what war does to the people that are left behind and the true devastation those people feel after they loose the people they held most dear.
I LOVE these historical types of movies (12 Years A Slave, Diary of Anne Frank, The Book Thief etc.)
If I want to cry I only need to watch this trailer, and my eyes are turning into springs. The movie and the soundtrack are masterpieces. The cast, especially Alicia is magnificent as well.
This was such an amazing movie. I cried during a majority of it, but I would definitely recommend this.
She's such classic beauty...and this seems to be a good upcoming film
Upcoming ? it was released almost 2 years ago
Stacy J I
Did not know...never saw a release commercial in my area...or a feature at the local theater
I cried uncontrollably watching this movie one of my favorite
I cried soo much, while i was watching this movie
This film fucked me up
I saw it right after the season 5 finale, same day.....oh boy. Not even the Titanic has made my cry that much
you poor thing i am so sorry
Yo Merlin and Jon Snow up to no good. This shall be interesting.....another movie based on War.
Thank you for recognising the fact that Colin Morgan and Kit Harington are nothing but characters in a series. What is wrong with basing movies off wars? Because this is true and so it is helping the new generation realise how horrible wars were and why they should never happen again, this movie and others like it are getting the word out to the younger generation because they probably won't read this book in English when it is assigned to them and if they won't read it for an assignment what makes you think they will read it for pleasure and enjoyment? Making a movie with well-known actors and actress's is the only way that this new generation will learn about these types of tragedies. And I do know that they probably only made this for money but if you look hard enough you will find that not everyone is money driven, some just want the world to be a better place.
based on a book based on a war*
Tabby Roberts Not sure where you live but wars are still happening in most parts of the world...
Tabby Roberts I thought wars where not all pleasure and enjoyment?
Anonymoussomeonenr1 They aren't but the love and tragicness of them make people want to read them for enjoyment, messed up I know.
When i went to vietnam I experienced stuff people could not even fear as much in their dreams I came back different and touched
This movie is amazing! Ive watched it so many times, both Vikander and Harington did an amazing job at portraying these characters! Bravo!
Jon, you're supposed to be in Winterfell since you're alive.
I cried just watching the trailer.....the story really is amazing AND it has Kit and Taron in it...I need to see this movie sooo bad xxx
chesterxtalinda8
you won't make it through the film than,too dramatic
Can't wait to see it! she is lovely and Kit finally gets a chance to show some more then jon snow! love him so much
Honestly speaking, I watched this movie because of Kit. Never thought it would affect me so much in the end that a few scenes kept on haunting me for days (like the one when Roland vowed to marry Vera the next time he came home from war). Amazing movie. ♡
im so looking forward for this movie i cant wait to see it and i dont think im nearly close to be ready to see colin morgan and kit harington in the same movie, it's gonna be great!
Kind of feel the description is missing the fact of the central character is played by Alicia Vikander.
I wish everyone would realize how amazing this movie is, but that's only a wish I'm afraid.
COLIN MORGAN OMG!! I've been waiting for him ever since merlin YAY
What hurts the most is that this isn't only a film...
I think British & European movies are more profound, understated yet subtle weaving of emotions & storytelling that literally leaves u breathless.
such a sad story, yet such an utterly beautiful movie, so well performed,and so very inspirational.
You need to change the caption and title of this video because the star is Alicia Vikander, not Hayley Atwell. And Alicia is so amazing in this movie she deserves credit!
really wish people would see Kit Harington as an actor capable of doing different roles and not just Jon Snow. He's actually really good in this movie. His breakdown scene in the beach made me cry.
Incredible movie/story. I bought the book the next day and cannot put it down.
This is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen. Truly outstanding.
Everyone else: **talking about how beautiful and emotional it was for them to watch**

Ah I just watched Atonement... ain't watching another heart breaking film. Save it for later.
+Guka Ismylova me too :'( Atonement did break my heart, I can't live through this :'(
Geesh... I shed tears just watching the trailer... do I dare watch the movie?
this was the saddest movie ever, i still think so and it's been 4 yrs since i watched this
This looks very promising. Looking forward to seeing it, especially since it includes exceptional actress Alicia Vikander from "A Royal Affair".
Something we barely noticed, the actor of Merlin is there, plus the trailer is a literal masterpiece, so its got to be good.
The trailer had me in tears; this movie is going to be amazing....
wow just watched this, and its INCREDIBLE !! Such an amazing film, and all the actors in it are so talented and portray their characters so well. I honestly had no idea what was going to happen, this movie really does keep you on your toes!
This movie will be important to life
Absolutely brilliant movie.Saw it today,would see it again.Thankyou for sharing.I hope this wins awards.
I've watched this movie, its so sad just thinking about all the women that were left behind all alone because of the war.
it destroyed a generation.
its a really touching movie lovey acting by the leading lady
she's such a good actress
If you need a good cry, this is the movie for you!
im sooo in love with their story.
this movie is sooo good, i cryed my eyes out. and alicia, such a great actress♥
Saw this movie last week, it was so deep and heartfelt, cry like a baby at some parts, Alicia Vikander was amazing in it.
Alicia is a heartbreaker. Watched A Royal Affair with Mads Mikkelsen and her and it was so emotional for me. I dont think im gonna watch this till im ready.
Man I cried just watching the trailer I can't imagine how emotional the movie must be @_@
I was really upset that this movie never really came out in theaters around the US. The book was very compelling and I was eager to watch the adaptation.
+JessPeachee l was waiting to too, l will rent or walmart.
+Young Stansbury Rainierland.com thank me later!
What are u doing Jon snow
He knows nothing.
You would think that Jon Snow might have learned something by know but it doesn't look like it.
I love this movie. but its broke my heart :(..
I’ve never heard of this movie until now. I definitely need to see this.
this is my favorite film and its based on a real story and that makes it even better 😭😭😢😢
you know you're in love with jon snow when you go watching all of his movies just to keep looking at his beautiful face
Great movie ☺️ Alicia Vikander is a brilliant & talented actress!
I suddenly fell in love with Kit Harington
So this is what Merlin does woke waiting for Arthur....
And thats how we won wars....Merlin was helping us with his magic.
Aww
I really like this movie, i've cried and was enlighted. Wish more people could have seen this movie. I love it, its just sad how war could affect lives of millions and millions of innocent people, youth
Such a sad film,brilliant in such realistic portrait of war,love and loss but man that young woman went through a lot in such little space of time.
I worship films set in European settings like this one-they are so wonderfully soul-soothing!
Warning, this is not for the light-hearted people out there. It is not about a love story set in WW1, and it's not about Kit's character. It is about so many different people and how they were affected and hurt by the war. I was absolutely devastated by the end of the movie, and it touched every fiber of my heart. It really opens up your mind on how the war affected not just a single person, but everyone around them also, like a domino effect. Alicia Vikander did such a beautiful job (though I was originally watching because Kit is in it), she was amazing, her acting was breathtaking, and now I'm basically gonna watch every movie of her's. It's such an inspiring movie that will always always live in my heart. Great job ❤️
how have I never heard of this movie till now? It looks so good
Kit and Colin in one movie 😍😍 awww... Too much
Ugh this film was SO GOOOOOOD
