Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
bognarnicolas Being an Anne Frank fanatic since I first learned about her, I was thrilled when I saw this movie for rental at the video store. I saw it many times since because it shows her whole life from 1939 - 1945. Gordon, Kingsley, Blethyn and Taylor are good names and they did splendid jobs but so did all the actors in this film. I read the biography too and Melissa Müller portrays a full, true picture of these people and their lives in those dark times. I gave it 9 out of 10 only because it contains a few errors but otherwise best Anne Frank and Holocaust movie to date in my opinion! Also, I wish it would have been shot on location in Amsterdam. The last part of it is an important part of our history that simply can't be allowed to happen again and therefore it must be shown through movies like this!
Shounak Reza I watched this movie two years ago, and since that time, it is one of my favorite movies! I would like describe in short. The music of the movie is wonderful, the cast is perfect, and Robert Dornhelm, the director, was able to make this movie wonderfully. The cast is perfect. Ben Kingsley and Hannah Taylor Gordon are perfect for their role as Otto and Anne, Brenda Blethyn, Jessica Manley and Lili Taylor also give nice performances. When I first saw the movie it brought tears to my eyes. Hannah Taylor Gordon looks like Anne Frank, and Ben Kingsley also looks like Otto Frank. This is the best Anne Frank movie I've seen, as it shows the whole story of Anne Frank.
K8lyn45 I liked the movie. It is good. It is educational. It tells a story. It is about a girl. Her name is Anne Frank. It takes place in a country. Anne dies. It is tragic. It is a great movie. It is a good book. It is also a good movie.
Seolas Anne Frank: The Whole Story: 8.5/10 (TV)(SPOILERS BELOW!)An epic look at the life of Anne Frank, just one of millions of jewish victims during the Nazi holocaust. This explores the girl and her family over something like 2 1/2 hours (of movie time, several years of real time). It's a long movie, but never drags. Anne and her family survived the Nazi "removal" of jews from their city by living in an abandoned house, behind a secret bookcase. Another family and several individuals were there with them, often creating an awkward and tense environment, especially when they argued. Anne keeps a diary, which allowed the original non-fiction book to be written. After seeing her first love disappear, probably taken by the nazis, Anne finds another teenage love interest, a shy boy who she becomes attached to. Before they can really go anywhere though, someone gives away the location of the Franks and their friends. In a horrifying scene, the nazis find and take the families away to one of the horrible concentration camp. Then comes one of the most emotionally draining movie stretches ever, as we see Anne's family and friends separated in the unspeakably awful death camps. The situation becomes even worse during the latter days, when most of Anne's tent is dead, and she is barely alive. They clip forward to after the war, and the train back to their home town. Surprisingly, Anne's father is the only one to return. He looks for news on his family and friends, but can't find it. He is given Anne's diary, which one of their friends kept after they were taken away. We finally see this kind, but strong-willed man collapse into tears, believing his girls and wife to be dead. The movie ends by telling us what happened to each person. They all died, besides the father, even Anne (if her body had held up for two more weeks, she would have been liberated). This is one of the most brutally honest accounts into what life for jews during the holocaust was like, and makes us realize how irrelevant many of our own problems are. I was legitimately crying at the end of the movie. How pampered our lives are compared to the people who suffered during the war. Let's just hope the world never has to suffer something like that again.
