ThiefHott Too much of everything

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Hafter Houwen Very good work, i must confess i've not seen another work of this director beside this movie.The good. The main characters are very well shaped, the artist crew, it-s so real, i have several friends that are actors, dancers, and singers, and the environment is so alike, i can see the director really knows how it is, how it feels. The Nazi guy, is the main actor, so sensitive and so unsure of what he is really doing, he was just 22 for god's sake. The end is magnificent the final performance of the main actor!!! the masacre, and at the end, there is no need of act, there is no need of keep the appearances... he could really choose what he wanted, her music and left the teather for the actors entrance.The bad. When the girl singed looked fake, she did not breath as a singer does, she should have worked on making that look real.

anastasia_ks I saw this movie in Mexico City, of all places, on Cinemax. At first I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I think that's why I liked it so much. You were never sure who to trust; who was good and who was bad (though, obviously, the Nazis were easy to categorize as the bad guys). The movie is really about Gens and the position he is in between the Nazis and the Jews. It really isn't clear whether he does the right thing; indeed, it isn't clear that there IS a right thing to do. In this way I thought the movie was more three-dimensional than "The Pianist," in which we know that our hero is an innocent victim. Here, Gens could be an innocent victim or he could be a ruthless opportunist. Or he could be both. In my opinion, that is what makes a character interesting. What impressed me the most about this movie, however, was the music. Please, if anyone could find a soundtrack for it, let me know. It was a great combination of opera, swing, and tango, and captured the passion and drama of the times. While it could be argued that "The Pianist" was, in Adrian Brody's own words, about how a man's love of music saved him during horrible times, that movie had almost NO music at all. This movie is a much better illustration of the theme of music and art being mankind's salvation.To me, a good movie is one that makes me think, one that rattles around in my head long after it ends. This movie passes the test, as I've been thinking of it on and off for several days. Yes, it is an odd blend of humor, drama, and horror, but I thought its uniqueness and depth made it a great film.

Globo436 This movie has apparently not been released in the US, but I found it available on DVD in Beijing, of all places. It takes place during the war in the ghetto in Vilna (Vilnius), Lithuania and shows the brutality of war, with a Nazi leader forcing Jews to perform as actors, and using the Jewish police to carry out orders. It is somewhat melodramatic with some comedic elements, but overwhelmingly brutal. I don't know is this is based on a true story or fictional. The acting was generally good, with some high and low points. There have been better holocaust films, but as one of the genre, this one is not too bad. The film was in English, but was likely dubbed. Amazingly it was a Lithuanian-German production, which in itself is somewhat ground breaking.

naurimas-1 The activities of the Jewish theater are depicted in an interesting way in the brutal environment. It is shown how the people learn to appreciate theater, forget problems and enjoy art which brings spiritual calmness.At the same time you can see the struggle and sad things of the Jewish nation in the ghetto and struggle against the Nazis.The passionate, but one-sided love story between the Nazis officer and the actress, singer of the ghetto is interesting to see and reflect upon.I liked about this movie was an interesting love story between the Nazi officer who loves the Jewish actress, singer of the ghetto.The movie was based on the script of the famous Jewish play writer Joshua Sobol.Again, the title of the movie is Ghetto (2006).It is coming to Europe, during the last week of April it will be shown in the UK, later in Netherlands. I hope you will see this movie.It is somewhat similar as Spielberg's "Schindler's list" because of the episodes when the German saves many Jews.Also it partially reminds of Roman Polanski "Pianist", because in this movie, the German officer tries to preserve music during the painful time of war.
