Movie Review by Phil & Carol
Phil - Worth the Matinee PriceCarol - Must See Now!
A Holocaust film. As I approached the theater I wondered out loud whether “another Holocaust film” was needed, or would seem dated. Could the film add anything new? After the film I realized that every few years we need another Holocaust film – to remind us of its horror and prevent us from ever forgetting. It’s the only way to prevent another. This is a look into the “everyday lives” of a Nazi family during WWII. Emotionally it was an up and down roller coaster ride as the director takes you on a journey you probably don’t want to take. When we came out of the theater I wasn’t sure what I was to feel – guilt, outrage, sorrow or maybe it was all of these.
