Beautiful Film with Some Over Dramatization

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2017)

This a beautiful film which creates a real connection with the audience. The emotions of the cast are palpable. I will admit, the film is overly dramatic at times, certainly not completely historically accurate, but necessary to express the absolute monstrosities of the concentration camps. Reading the negative reviews of the film is laughable. Rating the film 1 out of 10 stars for some over dramatization is shameful and ignorant. Another user review implies that Oskar was well-off following the war's conclusion, which is absurd. The man resorted to farming, later going bankrupt. This is a film that is meant to stir you and expose you to the brutality of the German agenda during WWII, to compel you to do more research on the subject, read true accounts of these horrors, watch true documentaries, and keep the memory of those lost, alive.
