I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

To casually say, as does the header, this is simply "another retelling" of the Holocost itself speaks volumes about cynical we have become in the modern age.Which is effectively double irony, because even the casual viewer, trying to discern the provenance of this film, will conclude that it was made with the intent of trying to "wake up" the jaded palates of the current generation, and remind us we are never really more than a few decisive political moves from war, horror, and misery.The movie begins with a trope literally not seen since the 1950s. A learned and respected figure -- in this case Dustin Hoffman -- sits in front of the camera and lectures the prospective audience on why the film is important.We didn't really need that technique even in the 1950s and frankly we don't need it now.The rest of the film delivers bigtime. Well written, passionately acted, well directed ... by the time it is over, it will test your passion and your humanity more than you would have ever expected.Oddly, this reviewer missed it when it first came out and found it recently on a list of "recommended Time Travel movies." (Which -- another irony -- is an honor it actually deserves. It is one of the better attempts at handling "time paradoxes" and other script problems that have tended to overcome many entries in that category.) It is highly recommended and not to the taken lightly.Are films like this needed, even on a gestalt level, for society as a whole, you may ask? Consider that within a quarter century of WW2, and the events depicted in this film, US TV was running a hit comedy show that glorified life in a concentration camp. (Not making this up -- check for yourself).On that basis, yes, I think films like this, if nothing else, keep us all honest about comprehending what humans are capable of, given the right circumstances.

I understand this movie is an intro to the holocaust for Jewish teens but it is honesty so watered down that it feels like your watching a bad summer camp movie. Everyone in here acts as though they are slightly inconvenienced by the Nazi's detaining and murdering them. There is no emotional impact in this movie as this makes the holocaust look tame. The most emotional scene is when poor little Kristen Dunst gets her hair cut boo ho. I loved how all the prisoners looked clean and like they had makeup on, they want to look good for the Nazi's. The hanging scene was so unemotional it felt fake. I would think if you watched your family get killed like that you would lose your freaking mind not mildly sob like your boyfriend broke up with you. There was no emotional agony from families being torn apart, it's like they accepted their fate without going through any of the coping stages. It would be like if they made a movie where a woman is diagnosed with terminal cancer and has a month to live and she brushes it off with no emotional response and went on with her daily life. If you wanted teens to come back from this movie changed you're deluding yourself. Teens see more graphic violence on TV and video games, I think they could handle the gruesome accounts from the holocaust. Hell, it would be better to expose then to the horrors of the holocaust before they become so numb to violence that it wouldn't effect them at all. Christian parents dragged their little brats to watch Passion of The Christ, the worst snuff film in history, I think Jewish kids could handle Schindler's List.The second thing I hated about this movie was it's blatant moral motive. This move is meant to guilt trip Jewish kids into accepting their religious heritage. I have never believed in the idea that scaring and forcing children into faith is an ethical or effective means to conserve religion. There are more effective and loving ways to teach faith. This movie feels like the Christian equivalent of telling a child they will burn in eternal pain if they don't believe and live by religious dogma. Children should be free to decide for themselves and a loving family would support them.The ending was so bland and unemotional. They stripped the women down, magically no nudity, forced them into a small room and dropped blue cat litter from the ceiling and then suddenly everyone died instantly with no suffering. The way the nude girls fell to the ground as the camera pulled away and faded out looked like a cheesy album cover, again they managed to magically show no nudity. Everything about this movie failed. It made me laugh and you should never laugh about something so horrible.

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.

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.
