Chung Mo There have been a number of Holocaust films, dramatic and documentary, and all have some measure of success in conveying the immense horror of Nazi psychosis. This film is one of the best I've seen. It sticks to personal stories and that makes the difference. Dry written narration removes the vastness of the evil perpetrated. It took decades for the real horror of the Nazi extermination to be adequately shown to the public. We should use this film as an example of the mindset that drives current holocausts being perpetrated right now or being openly planned by international leaders. It doesn't matter who is being persecuted, the open hated and psychosis of the perpetrators is on display here, you can easily see the same aberrant thought processes in action right now in Africa and the Middle East.If only the world could show the courage that was clearly lacking in the 1930's.
Petri Pelkonen The Last Days is a documentary from 1998 directed by James Moll and Steven Spielberg produced it.The movie tells about five Hungarian Jews who share their most painful memories.These wonderful people are Renee Firestone, Irene Zisblatt, Bill Basch, Alice Lok Cahana and Tom Lantos.They had to go to concentration camp, they had to suffer all because they were Jewish.This is a very touching movie and you can't help crying while you're watching it.Only the one with the coldest heart could.This year it will be 60 years when the war ended, when there was no Hitler and the sun became to shine.But it still didn't shine bright.I don't think it ever will.
elebedev I've seen a lot of documentaries about Holocaust (few dozen of them - thanks to the excellent Minuteman library network of greater Boston). This documentary is one of the best I've ever seen. I am still searching for an answer how such a horrible crime could be committed by a man.Watching this documentary is a very emotional and unforgettable experience.
giraffelover This film has really deserved the oscar and it should be shown in every cinema around the world. Together with Schindler's List that is the most important movie of the 90s and I would like to thank Steven Spielberg for his Shoah Foundation.
