Quote by Tom Hooper
I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost hi

I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if were completely living in it. – Tom Hooper
