Movie Reviews of To End All Wars
Movie Review: Profoundly Moved
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this film exquisitely written and acted, but it is the epitome of what the teachings of Jesus Christ are all about. There is no hype, no preaching, no whipping the crowds to a frenzy and then passing the offering plate. It is pure, raw, direct from the gut Christianity. This is THE best film I have ever seen for depicting the two most polar opposites of which man is capable--the absolute depths of cruelty and hatred, versus the heights of compassion and love for a fellow human being. I have never seen a film that can match this one for portraying the REAL meaning of forgiveness--in vivid action--and it is a true story! I recommend it to everyone, will be purchasing it for myself this next payday, and also be giving it as a gift to family and friends.Movie Review: One of the great films of war
Summary: 5 Stars
I stumbled across this film in a video store in Australia. I wanted to see if it was available in America yet and lo and behold it is! The story of this film is shocking. I couldn't help but compare it to "Bridge on the River Kwai", while watching it. Both films deal with similiar subject matter but this film takes the viewer where a 1950's audience could not go. Any attempt of negotiating with the captors is impossible. Escape also being impossible, the captives basically read philosophy to stay alive. An education amidst the horrors keeps the prisoners alive. This passive approach to survival is in great contrast to any other I have seen. Absolutely, marvellously astounding movie for anyone who has faith in the human character in the darkest of situations.Movie Review: A masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
In the wide variety of war-related movies, To End All Wars stands as a light house showing everybody else the way to go.
The greatest strength of To End All Wars is that it dares to wrestle with real feelings in real people in a real war-situation.
It portrays strong feelings such as despair, hatred, forgiveness, love, and ethics in a powerful way. It shows that forgiveness is the only way to break chains of hatred and despair, but it also honestly points out what happens to a man who can't receive and extend forgiveness.
The acting is excellent, and this movie certainly deserves to be watched by a great audience.
Buy To End All Wars - you will not be disappointed!!

Movie Review: A Movie to End All Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film last year at a private showing in Seattle. I expected the usual war movie and got so much more. The story started out as a typical war story but quickly turned into a movie about human beings and their inner struggles with evil. The lessons brought out in this movie about love, mercy, and forgiveness were totally unexpected and quite moving in the context of a WW II prison camp. It is truly a shame that this movie was never released into theaters here since the message conveyed so powerfully in the movue is one that the world needs to here. It was truly of Academy Award caliber. Maybe if enough people speak out the movie will be released into theaters and the movie will get the praise it deserves. Buy it and share it with others.Movie Review: Only the strongest survive
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the true story about the scottish regiment the argyll and sutherland highlanders 'to end all wars' is a superb story of survival in hell, although the movie is based on the building of a railroad through the burmese jungle the focus is more on events within the pow camp. the fear of beatings for no reason are a constant threat and malnutrition, disease and death are everday life, horrific scenes of soldiers being badly beating up will make you shiver particuarly kiefer sutherlands character 'yanka'.the finale credits show you real footage of the meeting between an argyle soldier and japanese officer of which both men are characters portrayed in the movie. all in all not being a war movie buff i found this totally enjoyable.
