I like this movie better than any that we've seen so far. It was more engaging and had good suspense. I found myself rooting for Fred and Peggy and disliking Marie (which we're supposed to do), and cheers even erupted as we watched Peggy say that she would break up Fred's marriage. I liked Homer and really wanted him to ask Wilma to marry him.... I felt the connections that I think a viewer is supposed to feel and the characters they want to succeed. I didn't get that from any of the other movies. That may have something to do with the fact that the characters are all made up and not to be compared with true figures and facts. In sum, I guess I liked it because it was meant to be fiction, rather than history. I wasn't judging it like I judge historical movies. -Whitney Holcomb | I like this movie better than any that we've seen so far. It was more engaging and had good suspense.

| + | I think this movie did such a good job portraying the time period accurately because the movie was made during the time period it depicts. For a movie such as this, not a whole lot of research would have been necessary since the people involved with the movie are living in the time period the movie is supposed to portray. I also think that this movie is very relevant to audiences today, just as it was when it first came out in 1946. Today, we have soldiers returning home from Iraq, and some of them are facing problems similar to those of the WWII veterans, such as post traumatic stress disorder, combat related injuries and disabilities, etc. -Katherine Stinson | ||
