Anecdotes
This film is inspired by the true story of Bernard Jordan, a British World War II veteran who slipped out of his nursing home in England in 2014, wearing his war medals pinned to a jacket under his raincoat. He traveled by bus and ferry to France to attend commemorations for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Jordan announced his intention to make a similar escape in 2015 to attend the next anniversary. He died peacefully at home in The Pines on Jan. 6, 2015.

Gaffes
In the very last scene Artie is saluted by the Regiment O.C. Artie returns his salute. In the British Army, you do not salute without a head cover. He should have "braced up". i.e. stood to attention.

It's a nice movie

A nice simple movie. Good performance by Brosnan out of his comfort zone. Although based on "real" events u do have to allow for some liberties being taken I suspect. It's a movie we need so we don't forget sactrifices that were made and also a small twist involving relationships etc. Don't expect a deep complex story just watch it as a nice Saturday afternoon matinee that at times is quite amusing at times quite moving and in the end quite uplifting. A simple story . Well told. Well acted well written nicely shot and the type of movie rarely seen nowadays to be fair. I have read it based on real events.
