Go with It

Wars come and go, but soldiers stay

Touching. Fantastic. And about lives of people we hear about on TV, radio and read about on the net. For me, its one of those movies, that change your point of view - it is NOT a classical movie, but a very good position referring about war, broken families and the possible consequences of the ongoing chain of Hatred. It makes people think about ones situation - at least it had in my case. Awesome. And almost a must-see for people before being taken to the army. Some situations you come across while watching this movie can make tears fall. And from my point of view, the story contained in this film is original, moving and real-life, in opposition to many dull positions we are bound to see. I really enjoyed watching this story.

Wars start when you will,but end not when you please...
