Romanticized holocaust story seen through the eyes of a child.

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2009)

Hi! I read that at lot of the other writers here say it was such a great movie, and that they got moved to tears. Personally I could not disagree more. I admit it was interesting to look at the world trough the eyes of a eight year old boy, but what did he really see? A fairytale concentration camp with children, where everyone was just sitting around. For not to mention a camp without security and almost without guards. And the commanders son (main character) came to play with a boy for hours each day! Some writers recommend this movie for educating at schools. How could they? If you are going to portrait something very far from what really happened, you either add humor, or make everyone sure this is just a fairytale. This movie did neither..
