A Holocaust movie that hasn't won an Oscar

Rating: 3/10 (31 October 2010)

And that should tell people something about just how bad this movie is.
There is definitely a heart-felt story to be told here, but unfortunately it drowns for the most part in moral points, that are so banal that it leaves the viewer with a feeling of condescension.
A big factor in all of this, is also that the characters in the movie are very one-dimensional. They are either good, or they're bad. They are either capable of cognitive thought, or they're not.
The truth is, what happened during and before the 2nd World War, were due to the actions of ordinary people against other ordinary people. That is perhaps the most frightening aspect of it all, and this movie completely fails in communicating just that. Which of course is all fine and dandy in your average action movie, but in a drama movie one would expect a bit more substance.
