Good movie, but...

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2003)

I think this is a good movie but still I think there are much better ones about WW2 and the Holocaust. The movie is well made and the acting is very good but the subject is so worn out that it leaves you nothing. Why do they always have to see things black and white (good or bad) when war and life is not as simple as that. WW2 was awful, I agree, but give it a break and START living in the present! Some producers, IMHO, try to take advantage of WW2's "success" in Hollywood and the film's industry overall to build a name or to be liked by everyone. This sort of propaganda movies are the ones that brainwash people into thinking that some countries or people are evil and some are good without even thinking about the causes and consequences of the actions in the story (specially when is such a delicate subject as this one where the story is actually a part of history and something that affect us all). The film only drives you emotionally through it but it's just that and nothing else what makes it good. I agree the director did a great job with the movie but let us hope this is the last film about this topic or, at least, let us view some new ideas. We are growing with a very flawed perception of the world because of the huge amount of films like this one.
