Nice effects though.
Captivating movie !
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
*** May contain spoilers. *** A Jew escaping Germany and there is no sense of danger. No suspense. No drama. Very little to impress. Because most every moment is presented as if a Broadway stage play with low realism, it is difficult to take this movie all that seriously. Hats are thrown knowing that a stage hand will gather it for the next take. An undocumented war refugee enters deep into a private home without bothering to wait for the home owner to answer the door. People stand up together instantly in the middle of a song as if rehearsed. Fireworks and a large crowd comes quickly from nowhere for a surprise party. There must be better movies out there covering the same subject matter.
THE best film I've seen in years . Primo ( John Turturro in his best role )is a survivor of Auschwitz , survivor of Holocaust . He is Italian Jew saved by Russians at the end of WWII . All he wants is so simple - just to go home . But railroads are destroyed and he has to make a detour true Minsk ( Minsk is a capital of Belorussia . Minsk is a hometown of my mother . Minsk is the city where only 4 buildings was still standing after WWII . Minsk is the city which my mother had to leave when she was 2 years old and hide under the horse cart during the air strikes ... she still can't talk about it .)At the same time he need to learn how to live usual life , how to look without scare , without pain . How to live at all . What makes this film 10 stars out of 5 ... little details , the feeling , the scare in everyone's eyes . I know this feeling . I know this scare . I don't want to remember it , but this film brought it back . And especially now I think everyone have to learn it ... before it is too late. This film is very slow and very deep . Acting on highest level - I even forgot that this is actors "acting". What shocked me most - the details , just little things which are so important , This film have to be watched by everyone and taken deep into our hearts . This kind of story might and have to change our world for better.
Just saw it, think it was great. Had no problems understanding the english at all. Kinda slow but I think that's the only way to make a movie like this, especially when it's a true story .. Nice to see a slow movie sometimes, most movies of today are to hectic. Good movie, absolutely worth while seeing.
This movie had nothing but promise. It was a very slow moving film and the dialect was extremely difficult to understand. I hate saying anything bad about it, seeing as if it deals with an incredible subject - it just moved too slowly for my vote to turtle above a 6.
