I loved this movie. It was very accurate historically! Light romance but the story line was more on the battles and the very famous people involved. My husband is a WWII buff and has read a lot. He was impressedwith how they stuck to the historical accounts. I took my dad to see it a second time and several of the vets there were in tears, including dad. My dad is a WWII vet. He was on the ship that sailed in to Japan for the armistice.
