Deep, true, moving. As any film should always be.

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2017)

This classical drama is one of my favorites for one reason. Sometimes there is a great script and bad directing. Sometimes the cast is fantastic, but story is weak. And sometimes every element in movie making is amazing and yet the film comes out and deserves 3 out of 10. Why? Its a mystery. No one can possibly answer that, including Mr. Spielberg, who's best movie is Schinlder's list. And if we don't teach our kids history and about mistakes made by Allies not stopping Nazis when they just started to exist, and about horrible crimes during the most viscous war of all times, history may happen again. My only suggestion to this movie makers would be: may be Red army depicted in a form of a drunk Cossack on a horse at the very end of the movie announcing to remaining concentration camp prisoners that they are "free now" should have been different from what you showed. After all 9 out of 10 Nazi soldiers were killed by that same Red army. And Soviets broke German armies spinal cord loosing 27 million soldiers and civilians. May be they deserve a better looking character.
