| | kcox 06/21/2011 | | Loved this movie! I saw it first when I was 10 years old and it inspired me to find a place where I belonged. I was amazing and moving to see young kids so adamantly loyal to, and fiercely protective of, the academy. Although I never ended up joining the military, I can relate on some level to the unity soldiers in our armed forces must feel because of the movie. It was a really moving story and I have never forgotten it. |
