Great movie, need to watch!

This movie is truly inspiring.

it has flown straight into me, I will buy this movie as soon as it comes out. No doubt about it.

it's story is so amazing and the movie itself is great also loves the music even thou it gets a bit the same, but its great and probably placed.

I can highly recommend watching this multiple times, simply bcz it makes you think over it, and you can easily see its message.

Like I see one of the points with the Malibu's's.

"You should not hate them of a crime they have done or because they are not in your liking." Or it can be put into the meaning of we cannot call ourself peacefully country's when almost every country is doing some kind of discrimination or hate, war, bad things. First when we accept everyone as they are and we do not forge war anymore first THEN we can call ourself peacefully nations.

Just truly an amazing movies with so many perspectives that you would not dream around when you first hear it.

This movie has made me think which I think is greatly done

10/10
