ordinary film that has been done before.

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2003)

The first half of this film is sensationalized, pretentious, laugh at the audience, propaganda driven film.
I as an intelligent person (or so I think) get annoyed at over simplifying history. The portrayal (yet again) of Nazis as nothing more than emotionless monsters (even though reality is somewhat close to this image) and the Jews as moral saints and victims is too trivial.
However the film picks up in the second half and becomes more interesting showing us a less "shove it down your throat" approach.

6/10. Wouldn't watch again because 2 and a half hours of film should say much more than what this film does... inferior to many holocaust films.
