A well-created tale about human character

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2014)

When I read commentary from (movie) critics on the failure to include more about the Holocaust, war and other events, I was quite surprised. This movie, in my opinion, is primarily about the human character and emotions, especially the character. It is surprising what one's character/soul can hide and how it can be maneuvered by someone else to change it. The movie is not primarily about the war. Describing the points of view on the war effort(s) and pointing out that the German civilians also faced millions of casualties of the innocent were important, but not the film's theme(s), so commentary on how the plot and events were inaccurate and childish are quite wrong. The movie is not a documentary. Overall, I really liked it, and I believe that the simplicity of the story plot makes the film beautiful and touching. Hope you all enjoy it!
