War Bride (2001)
8/10
Poignant commentary on resilience
15 June 2022
I was charmed by the lead character in her ongoing optimism --despite finding herself in a number of difficult situations. The theme of this movie might be forgiveness as there are many examples of it throughout the film, as well as examples of resilience.

Yes, there were a few loose ends, I wish there was more time spent on the husband soldiers recovery from the impact of war. I totally did not understand the end scene where the mother in law buries an unseen metallic object (her deceased husband's wedding ring?), I have no idea why that was part of the movie. And the mean spirited demeanor of I was was too extreme--and not enough explanation for their change of heart.

And yet.... RECOMMEND! Overatwo hours well spent and a terrific heroine and beautiful cinematography.
