"Learn an instrument....survive the Holocaust!"

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2003)

that and "Networking with local religious turncoats and enemies will help you in the long run" seem to be the two dominating messages provided by this movie. It is supposed to be this great movie about one mans survival and resilience, but really he just has a series of "lucky run-ins", a couple with a friend of his that joined with the nazis to save his own ass, and another with a nazi music fan! So whats the big survival story here? Even when he tries to smuggle guns, it's only because he couldn't hack it carrying bricks so he gets a cushy job indoors! He doesn't set up the gun running, someone else does! He just stands there with a dumb look on his face and fumbles around until the Nazis give in to their own scene boredom! Maybe that's the acting genius everyone talks about? I don't know! Someone explain it to me!
