Movie Reviews of A Day in October
Movie Review: The Scandinavian Miracle at Midnight
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the most remarkable feats of World War II happened in Denmark. After about three years of believing they could live in peace with the Germans, the Jews were finally scheduled to be shipped to the death camps. Fortunately, a trusted Dane working in the German's Command learned of the plan a day or two before it was to happen, so he secretly warned the Jews. Within a matter of hours, the Danish Resistance help get some 7,200 Jews on boats and taken to Sweden. Being neutral, Sweden willingly took in these Jewish refugees. Fewer than four hundred did not escape, but were shipped out of Denmark to the camps. This is the compelling, true story of one family in that 'miracle at midnight.' The Disney movie of that name is a similar story, which chronicles another family experience during that same incident.
There is so much to discuss in this movie that parents will just want to watch it with their kids to decide what would be important to their family. There is very little bad language, or anything objectionable to traditional values families in this movie. It is one you will not soon forget. Oh, one more thing: When the Jews were finally able to return to Denmark after the war, they found their businesses had been kept going, their homes maintained, and even their gardens attended by the Danes!
