I liked this movie, it was about a wonderful, super nice, super British lady named Mrs. Miniver. She was a symbol of everlasting hope and dream for the country she was in because she was kind and was the way a woman should be. Even under the pressures of war. Well she gave her husband and her son up for the war, let them be the soldiers God intended them to be. In the end the truth is that like the pastor said, the truth is that no one suffers like the innocent casualties of war, they are the true victims, women children and the old who are defenseless.. did you get bored yet? I did, it was pretty much how the movie went down, I understand why it won an award, because people got to talk like that, but it was tedious, and slow and I hated that .. had to die. It wasn't fair! It wasn't fair I tell you. But props to Greer Garson, she was soo on the spot. And I love the banter but cute lovey dovey banter between Mr.and Mrs. Miniver. It is one of those must watch once, but lets keep it to just once, shall we.
