One of the most heartbreaking films I've seen

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 2008)

Words cannot describe how I feel about this film; only that it truly was a masterpiece. I went to see it with my mum, expecting the "telltale ending" of the film - the film is about a young German boy who befriends a young Jewish boy imprisoned in a concentration camp. Having been to Terezin Concentration Camp near Prague and having learnt about the Final Solution in GCSE History, I had a background knowledge of the film's theme.
When the film was finished, the whole of the audience sat in complete silence, save for a few people (including my mum and myself) in tears. The film was moving, and the message is one that I shall stick by; friendship and love can be found in the most darkest of times.
The musical score was also fantastic - James Horner is a genius.
I HIGHLY recommend the film, but I must insist (by not revealing much) that you should keep a box of tissues handy.
