I just finished watching this war-drama movie in my PSP. It just took 2 hours and 40 minutes (approx) viewing. Here's the summary of the movie and the link where I got it...
Christmas, 1983. A New York postal clerk, a Buffalo Soldier in Italy in World War II, shoots a stranger. In his apartment, police find a valuable Italian marble head, missing since the war. Flashbacks tell the story of four Black soldiers who cross Tuscany's Serchio River, dodging German and friendly fire. With a shell-shocked boy in tow, they reach the village of Colognora. Orders via radio tell them to capture a German soldier for questioning about a counteroffensive. In the village, a beautiful woman, partisans that include a traitor and a local legend, the boy, and the story of a recent massacre connect to the postal worker's anguish forty years later. And the miracle? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}
In the fall of 1944, four African-American soldiers find themselves caught behind enemy lines and surrounded by German soldiers. They take refuge in a small Italian village that has been temporarily vacated by the Germans. In their company in a small boy, obviously shell-shocked and feverish, who seems only to speak to his invisible friend Arturo. Tensions rise among the four men not only because of their life-threatening situation but also because two of them become rivals for the attention of an attractive young woman. When they manage to make contact with their unit, they are told to capture a German soldier for questioning and with the aid of the Italian partisans, have a candidate. What they don't realize is that there is a traitor in the partisan group, one that will have major repercussion on one of the men 40 years later.

So, what do I think about this?

This movie is generally good, average, I could say... But quite aggravating too. You can see here how the Whites mistreated the Blacks; treating them like pigs, etc... Nazi soldiers slaughtered innocent people. How inhumane that was! Anyway, those were the days... I just felt sorry for the victims. I'm not gonna let my emotion be carried away with this film. LOL... Relax.... Films are apparently made just to entertain our cute eyes. I'm jsut talking to myself. Keep your cool...
However, aside from those negative things I seen, in the end, you really will be amazed. The MIRACLE, that's what the crux of the movie all about, right? You see the little boy on the picture above? Guess what? Nah.... Just watch it yourself guys. I know you'll love it. Just don't cry, Ok?
Thanks for droppin by.
