These are so gorgeous. The movie is not out here yet but I cannot wait to watch it.
I find WWII movies much too personal as well, as my grandfather and all my great-uncles fought in the war, and a lot of them died and others went missing. I especially think of one of my great-aunts who was married for only a month and then her husband went to war, to die. Though I suppose we were relatively lucky. My best friend's grandfather was a career soldier (in USSR, as well) and he once told her that out of his whole graduating class only he and another man survived the war.
Actually, when I think of people of my grandparents and great-grandparents' generation, I just feel incredibly grateful I didn't have to live this, Civil War and WWII.
