It made me laugh, and it made me cry. I fell in love with all the characters. The acting is top notch, the music is inspiring, and the story touches your heart. I loved the metaphors; the barbed wire and the scratch marks on the stage representing barriers and boundaries, the lights of the stage and the search lights of the POW camp representing hope, dreams, freedom, and the Swing Kids team itself was such a powerful symbol transcending all kinds of barriers to reach unity. I loved every bit of this movie.
