I know a little about April 9th 1940 and the following days in Norway,
since I am a Norwegian. But I knew little about what happened in our
sister country in the south. We both suffered from ignorant
governments that refused to see the reality, even when thrown in their
eyes. The Norwegian government managed to flee to England. The Danish
did not. This movie is about the average person, serving as a solider,
who is drawn into a war before the government realizes there is a
war. This movie is about soldiers fighting, without knowing that they
have already lost. And this is one of the best movies I have seen in a
long time. The story-telling, the acting, the filming, ... If you like
historical war movies, this is a must-see.
