IndieSpirit92 Very rairly will a 'flawless' film be released. A movie so perfect, no amount of nit-picking can destroy it. Unlike it's predecessor, Anne Frank: The Whole Story goes out of it's way to be as accurate to the true story as possible, and the cast is physically reminiscent of their true-life counterparts. The sad thing is, no amount of praise on these boards can give this film the recognition it deserves. It should be #1 on the top #100, it should be shown regularly on television. More people should know about it! In short, this made-for-television movie is 10x better than anything I've ever seen in a cinema. Do yourself a favor. When feeling down, rent this movie, and see how much you take for granted. For three hours, you will be magically transported to the 1940's. You will become Anne Frank. You'll live with her, love with her, and cry with her.10/10 stars.
totalDEPPfanatic Once again I had to watch this movie as a wrap to the Holocaust unit in English class. Let me tell you right off the bat, I cried so hard at the end. I had to leave the room I was crying so hard and I couldn't stop. The only movie that has ever made me cry is Titanic.This movie is perfect. It follows Anne through her years before hiding and after they are found.Anne Frank was an ordinary teenage girl. She wanted to see the world and be famous. Anne loved her father but didn't get along so well with her mother. She was forced into hiding from the Nazi's in a small attic with seven other people. She had to go through ordinary teenager things, like getting her period, in hiding. She couldn't see her friend or other family, or this boy she had a crush on before she went into hiding. She later falls in love with Peter, one of the people in hiding with her and she clashes with people in the "Secret Annexe" what she calls the hiding place.When they are found, it broke my heart. When they are in the concentration camp it broke my heart. I basically cried from the time they are found to the time that Anne and Margot die at Bergen-Belson, and let's not forget Otto Frank just collapsing when he found out his wife and children are dead.All in all a very powerful movie. The best Anne Frank movie made. A must see and must own.
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.
