Pretty good movie up until that____________ (SPOILERS INCLUDED!!)

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2002)

Trust me... this will of course ruin the movie if you read on. Course I thought it was disappointing anyway.
The whole comment above would read, Pretty good movie up until that cruel twist.
We watched this in film class. And I will admit that I'd been wanting to see this for quite awhile. The fact is, I found it to be one of the most disappointing movies of all time. I've seen my fair share of movies, and I'd thought this to be a family movie. But it really isn't. It lures you cruely into thinking it's a romantic comedy underlined with the Holocaust. The teacher said this is a good tear jerker. Almost 5 days later, I'm still in disbelief that he was shot to death. I had no time to cry over it. It says at the end.. this is the sacrifice that my father made. Yeah... he was more stupider than Ernest P Worrel. (nevermind)
I figured as they were writing.. they decided to kill someone off for fun. To show that the Holocaust wasn't a fairy tale. It sure was a poor way of doing it. There's alot of tragic movies out there that are better than this. Braveheart, The English Patient, Titanic. Hell.. Face/Off... what else?? Hmmm.. oh wait... This is a silly reference.. Mortal Kombat 2. Johnny Cage is killed. WTF??
I do realize that alot of people like this movie. That's great. I'm glad they liked it. But I didn't. I'll probably never watch this movie again. (watch it in italian) I will admit however that the best actor nod was probably dead on. And it's not like this is a poor quality show, I just figure that this guy had no brains. The wife was screwed up in the first place by getting on that train. She in a sense killed her love. And he shoulda thought more about his son than going off looking for his wife. That's no sacrifice to me.
