My wife and I loved this movie and appreciated the thoughtful way this story of faith and love was portrayed, including the music. Clearly, Liddell took to heart Jesus' words, "Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." One of my sister's was a missionary in Taiwan in the 70's and 80's and the senior missionary she worked with had been in the same Japanese internment camp with Liddell until his death from a brain tumor. I therefore had already heard much of the story of his love for the children and people of China, as well as how much the children in the camp loved their "uncle." The movie did an excellent job in portraying this tragic but moving and beautiful story, part of the history of World War II that more need to know about.
