A beautiful love story

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2000)

What a wonderful story.This movie fulfilled all that it set out to do...leave people awestruck at the power of love, imagination,sacrifice and the human spirit. I never once thought that the movie was intended to make light light of the holocaust but rather that its primary focus was on that of a beautiful love story. To those who seemingly missed the violence: I think as adults we all well know what happened to the people in the showers, the elderly, the very young and those who had "doctors appointments" during the holocaust , it was not necessary to see it , it was felt. By leaving those scenes out my 11 year old son was able to watch this movie and love it too. He asked a lot of questions and actually desired the knowledge of the events that took place. I sincerely believe that it was made perfectly.
