一部像极了公路片的战争题材电影。最让我觉得出彩的是这部影片把战争的残酷和人间的真善体现得非常的自然，没有任何刻意造作放大开来的痕迹，也没有站在任何政治立场上。叙述过程中，平静的娓娓道来，犹如电影场景里吹过麦田的风，自然而又令人流连惬意。无论是濒临垂死却依然想到要保护小男孩的德国士兵，还是用优美的诗歌转移孩童注意力，不让大家看到狼藉场景的女教师，无论是为了孩子不畏艰险的父亲，还是勇敢果断的爱尔兰战士，无论任何身份、任何国籍，一场残酷的战争，受伤的永远只会是无辜的平民，在战争面前没有绝对的胜利，除了整日盯着地图冠冕堂皇的政客以外，所有的人，都是受害者。"My father was diagnosed manic depressive in 1967. He'd been going around Cambridge in a fake beard calling himself Jesus John Harvard. When he got better, he started working in public television in Boston. He met my mother there. He walked up and took her picture. On their first date, he took her on a driving tour of New England and told her all about his nervous breakdowns. She didn't care. She said it was a crazy time. Half the people they knew were going bananas. So they got married and they had me... and then my sister. We were happy. I know there is more to it than that. There always is."
