The best film I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2006)

This movie has left me wanting to cry and cheer at the same time. I did actually cry; the first time I really cried when watching a film. I usually can separate myself from the fictional events of a movie, but not during the last ten minutes. I was appalled at the scenes included in this movie, and they were both cold and moving at the same time. This is the best movie I have ever seen. If I had been in a room with a hundred of my peers, swearing to laugh and taunt me for life if I cried I would have still wept. Two of the starring actors' performances were definitely grade 'A'. Liam Neeson puts on a flawless performance in my opinion, as does Ben Kingsley. However, the performance of Embeth Davidtz (cast as the maid, Helen Hirsch) left me disappointed, as did Raplh Fiennes'. As far as story goes, this is a moving and powerful one, that ought not to be forgotten. I wish I could touch on the specific parts of the movie that moved me most without spoiling any of the ending. I also wish I could personally invite the entire Nazi regime over for "special coffee" laced with strychnine; especially Goeth, if he was a real person, and definitely Hitler if he were alive.
