This is How Movies Should Be Made

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Am I Missing Something?

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

For those who dont know much about France during the II WW is of compulsory watch. It is somehow a must-see. It is also not difficult to follow and not boring, nice music and has a good pace. I would rate in the range of 7/10.

this movie captures the emotions of the persecuted beautifully...everyone needs to watch movies like this to make sure that atrocities do not repeat themselves...this movie is a must see...what more could one want in a movie. THere are very few movies i have found that seem to provide the realism that this has achieved. The acting is outstanding-- the characters are believable and portray despair and hope in a way that has to have an impact on the viewer. With all the garbage out there and almost pointless action movies that are for entertainment purposes only and are soon forgotten after they are viewed--this one has an impact on the viewer that is long lasting. When compared to other movies out there, this one shines in comparison. again i repeat this is a must see....hope this helps

This film recounts the story of the July 16, 1942 round-up of 24,000 non-French Jews who had flooded into Paris in the years preceding the occupation to escape Nazi oppression in their homelands. However, the mass-arrest netted less than half the expected number because of the sympathies and help of Paris' non-Jewish inhabitants who warned and hid their non-French Jewish neighbours.This film is predictably poignant because it focuses on the children of these captured Jews. Their story is based on evidence recounted by survivors and witnesses to the events, and as is often the case, truth is stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to stories of humanity.What is unique about this film is how the relationship of Jews and non-Jews and how the sympathies of Parisians to their Nazi occupiers is conveyed. Every shade of humanity is depicted from an anti-semitic neighbourhood baker, and bullying police, to acts of kindness shown by firemen and neighbours, and of course the main character, a nurse who volunteers to care for the interned Jews. Interspersed with this story are snippets of Hitler and Eva at Berchtesgaden with Adolf shown alternatively as a loving 'uncle' to the children of the Nazi elite, or as a madman planning the destruction of the Jewish people.This is an extremely well written, directed and acted film. The subject matter may not be new, but this story is fresh.

The Roundup is a must see movie even beyond its historical mission. The interpretation of the actors is excellent. Its quiet difficult to remain indifferent in front such a tragedy, a tragedy so unfair for these innocent people. French they were, but apparently not enough for the French police, with the Vichy regime headed by a man, Philippe Petain, which is known today to have done nothing to protect Jews. Quite the contrary by the way. With his henchmen, they have not mounted the raid in order to meet German demands, but to give pledges to antisemites of all stripes who supported this worthy scheme. I recommend these movie.
