A Brilliant Movie For Everyone To See

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2003)

This movie is definitely not about Holocaust, not about WWII, not about Jews vs. Germans and Poles, albeit such interpretations do occur to many critics.
The movie really is about survival. Was it all worth it, after all. Isn't there a price too high to be paid for survival? Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer, as Shakespeare had once put it.
I bet anyone who ever had any doubts as to whether this life were worth living, should see this movie and judge for himself.
