I nearly didn't see this because of the critical slating.
I'm glad I did. It certainly isn't historical fact, but neither is Robin Hood or King Arthur etc.
This is a love story based on the 'legend' of Colditz Castle the notorious POW from WWII.
If Mr Tarantino can get away with that nonsense of 'inglorious Basterds' I think a little artistic license can be granted here. At least they aren't misspelling the title and they made it in 2005 before you could get away with totally rewriting history. This is a movie whereas that was a cartoon.
Colditz did exist so did MI9 and other parts of the story are founded in fact, but this is a romantic drama FICTION! Get over it you anal historians.
It is well acted and has a reasonable plot, provided you believe that men will lie for sex. There I said it, people lie. It or 'shit' happens.
I enjoyed this movie as a movie not a historical document. Watch it before you criticize. I am glad that its not true.
