As a real life history: teaches amazing concepts of love, hope and accepting that somethings we just have no control over - we can just hope for the best and accept the outcome. Recommend.
As a movie: there's not much happening in the whole movie. Good acting - nothing stellar. From the moment it started, one can count all the possible outcomes for all the characters in one hand, which saps all the fun of the experience :/.
Well, I did jump from my seat when the boy falls in the lake, so yay?
