This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.
This is a film about war, but not really about war, it's a love story with war as its side, and as a story it's really sweet and full of hope. Let's say that there is a terribly negative thing that one really has a hard time overlooking, that is that both Chinese and Americans speak the same language but the actors obviously pretend not to understand each other and this is a bit too much of a suspension of disbelief to ask of one spectator who never understands which characters can understand others and when not.
