I don't see what all the fuss is about...

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 1999)

Not the fuss of this being a good movie, but people criticizing it so much. It's criticized for making profit from the holocaust by the same people that loved "Schindler's List." I don't think all the money from that movie was turned over to holocaust survivors... and they say that this movie is making a joke of the holocaust - no it's not. It's simply showing that, even in the worst of situations, hope is a good thing, maybe even the best of things. The reason the movie isn't realistic is because that would make it hard to end on an up-note, no? Yeesh people. Calm down. If you want realism, go get "Schindler's List." If you want a good film to make you smile and even cry, pick up "Life is Beautiful."
