tuor-1 I just have watched this film and I must say: "I didn't like it". OK, the idea behind it is good, but that is not enough. The film hardly shows nightmare of the camps. I was in Auschwitz, in Majdanek, in Treblinka. For me it seems like director have never seen any of them and only heard about.The film also simplifies everything. There is no background. We know nothing about situation. Someone told before that during WW2 6 million Jews died. Yes, that is true, but during this war also 6 million Poles died... And what is important: half of the killed Jews were Poles (which means that half of the killed Poles were Jews). I personally know people who survived war in Poland. In their tales almost nothing is black or white. Everything is gray... Sometimes Jews killed Jews while Poles, risking their lives, helped Jews. But sometimes Poles killed Jews while German officers helped Jews. These were dark times and this film doesn't show the tragedy of the second world war or the Holocaust.The film hasn't moved me. I was not far from turning my computer off before the end of the film. I think that we can't understand what it was like in the camps. I believe though, that film (as part of mass-media) has tools to show everyone that it was so terrible, that it's not understandable for us. This film didn't make use of this tools.

little_miss_dolphin8 This film has some credibility. I like the idea behind it but I have trouble with the slight cheesiness that comes across sometimes. Some of it is a bit cliché and I don't find Kirsten Dunst to be all that convincing, especially when she first arrives in Germany. I found the transition from present to past to be cheesy too. I love the idea but it just didn't do all that much for me. The history is awesome but I think things could've been better achieved if it was the grandmother's story, and not the girl time travelling because it brings down the realism and credibility of the storyline, and surely they are trying to get realism across?

Elizabeth volz I thought that the book was better then the movie. If the movie was more like that book i think that it would have been better. The movie had left out some details from the book that i think were pretty important. For example in the movie Rivka was Hannah's cousin and in the book Rivka was just a girl that Hannah had meet in the camp. Another thing is that in the book there was a few chapters on how they were stuck on the train for 4 days with out anything to drink or eat and in the movie the left out that whole part. That's why i think that the book was a lot better then the movie. I think that if they had made the movie just like the book it would have been a lot better.

Sonya Woods I liked this movie much better than Schindlers List. To me that movie was way too violent. Plus I really like Kirsten and Brittney. It's about this rich girl who doesn't want to celebrate the Jewish holidays with her family and drinks to much wine at her aunt's house. When she is asked to open the door for Elijah she goes back in time to learn about what really happened to the Jewish people. What was really sad was how her character died to save her friend that was sick and was said to be sent to the gas chamber. I think it is very sad what they had to go through. Much worse than what blacks had to go through and you don't hear them whining. I would recommend this movie along with The Diary Of Ann Frank. You won't regret it.
