@gs032009 ...finally returned home after the 4 hour drive, I get a call. It's her. And she's crying uncontrollably. I ask what's wrong. Between sobs, she tells me. I felt so betrayed. And why didn't she tell me face to face just a few hours earlier? Break-up over the phone? No honor. Cowardice. Of course it hurt, but I take it in stride. These things happen. I'm sure somehow I caused it and so I take responsibility. But chicks are a dime a dozen; there're plenty out there.

@gs032009 Yeah that sounds familiar. Well since you ask, my girl got an internship in another city about 4 hours drive from our school. She relocated and I had to stay for classes. But every Friday afternoon I'd drive to see her and visit for the weekend.  When gas was $4/gallon. It was...difficult having to leave each Sunday evening. One weekend she's behaving differently. Quiet. Something was wrong but I was too inexperienced to recognize what was happening. The best part is once I

@RedShipsofSpainAgain It was a cold evening after a wonderful day together, mostly in each other's arms and not talking much, kissing, staring at one another, and then she goes 'beserk': we must say goodbye, this is not good, maybe you're falling in live with me...I said, maybe I love u a little, after all this time I am starting 2, and she forces it, and we say goodbye; I'll never forget you! What abou u?

@RedShipsofSpainAgain Immediately after i watched it years ago it was in my top 20 and I cherish this film since then. I know what u're talking about: and it's always the women leaving us men, would'nt you say??

@David012186 thats bullshit it should be known that race does not exist. all the migrations and intermixing of the past, plus according to genetics race is nonexistent, confined to the realm of appearance alone. there is but one race and that is the human race, and any statement to the contrary is racism.

omg this was the same thing that happened to me, my vietnamese girlfriend told me the exact words, but because of her family and her pride, she said I had a tender heart and I was a real good loving man, but we could not have a future together do to her culture and her pride.. this made me feel exactly how I felt..if only you knew how much I love you Phuong Tran

To the director, Scott Hicks, you make me proud to be from your home town, Adelaide, South Australia. I love this film and scene so much. There are few things on film that I feel that I can relate to, or of films that can relate to me. You have captured heart break and devestation on film so precisely. The dialogue and music are intense. I feel that only a person who has ever had a broken heart can truely understand and appreciate this film. A true masterpiece. This is what art is albout.

4:50 not to sound ignorant but are those naked body parts scattered across the battle field by the shore? if so, how did the limbs of soldiers become naked and have no cloth or fabrics covering them?
