This was a good story given short shrift in this film. The male performances were all very good, and they did a great job casting the characters to match their real-life counterparts; however, I did feel Nicole Kidman was very weak in the role of Patti. The story and message of reconciliation are poignant, but the time period is much better represented in Empire of the Sun (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092965/) and the theme of reconciliation more completely told in Five Minutes of Heaven (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1238291/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_32).
