Amazing and touching movie, forget the other review
26 February 2014
All due respect to my only fellow reviewer on this movie, but the fact that he says it takes place during an 'absurd' war, shows he either knows nothing of history or its significance. The story is a romantic story first and foremost, set in Israel before 1967, discussing French Jews coming to visit their two friends in Israel. Israel back then was weak compared to the Arab states, and halfway in the movie, the six day war starts. 7 Arab nations declare war on Israel together, with their combined manpower outnumbering the Israelis more than 20 to 1 and similar ratios for both planes and armor. Yet Israel, with one of the main characters being a soldier fights a heroic and brilliant war and wins a lot of territory from the Arab aggressors in the span of only Six Days!! While, like I mentioned before this is mainly a love story, it is set in a both frightening and glorious time in Israel's history and is a beautiful and very emotional movie for anyone who understands what Israel's history looks like. Very HIGHLY recommended, please watch, I guarantee you will enjoy, and please rate this movie higher once you've seen it, because it deserves a lot better!!
