Although I'm very late as far as the year of this movie, I am right on time where I am in my life, we watch movies and never get what we should see in it! I saw bits and pieces of my own life! I was able to find a new respect for culture! This movie is all about Discipline which is why I cried a thousand times while I did research to actually learn of the History behind it! I'm not sure what inspired a movie such as this other than the writer has his own History here but thank you @John Logan for your time and thoughts thank you to the directors and everyone who played a part! @Tom Cruise, I am a diehard fan of yours, if you played a boring movie I would still watch it to the end and say it was great! This will become a watch over and over for me because of its Discipline! SO THANK YOU!🌹🌹🌹❤
