A boy's search for his lost family amidst the conflict of WWII.

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

I feel that this is one of Steven Spielberg's best works while it seems to fly under the radar. The story of a young boy who finds himself amidst the turmoil of a world under the wages of war and in the end finds the beauty within the evil. I think that the cinematography, score and the actors under Spielberg were awesome, but perhaps most important of all- it's a tremendous story. As a film student it's the kind of film that I love because it's the reason I go to the theater and make pictures. In the end you walk away and hopefully your a better person than when you arrived. Now that's the power of a great film, and Spielberg has the vision to make it happen.
