I watched this movie last week. I found it interesting, good and sad at the same time. It takes place during the Holocaust and is about a man, who, when he and his family are taken away, turns the whole thing into a game for his son. It is a foreign film so there are subtitles, but I'd say it's worth it, parts are very unrealistic, but a good movie.Monday, October 26, 2009

We have this movie and love it! Though it IS really sad! I haven't watched it in ages... Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this in years, but did enjoy this movie!
ReplyDeleteI just cried like a baby watching it (toward the end) . . . my youngest was watching it with me, understood all of it and cried, too! He said to me, sort of asking, sort of in disbelief, "Why, momma? Why do people have to act so terrible to each other?" Broke my heart!
ReplyDeleteA hauntung movie, one that sticks with me. His final scene...that's one that I'd clip on my Favorite Films Fridays.
ReplyDeleteHe won the Academy Award.
I remember this one - it does stick with you.
ReplyDeleteI also saw around the same time - My Father's Glory. Good one too, though not a holocaust movie.
I love watching it in the original Italian. I feel like speaking Italian after that. It is the perfect combination of joy and sadness. It really is beautiful.
