Movie Reviews of Anne Frank - The Whole Story
Movie Review: Anne Frank - The Whole Story
Summary: 5 Stars
My 12 yr old granddaughter had just finished reading The Diary of Anne Frank at school and was so moved by the story I thought I would get her the movie, made in 1959, to enhance her understanding of Anne's tragic experience. While searching for that, I came across 'Anne Frank - The Whole Story' and was so impressed with the on-line reviews, I decided to get that for her instead. I was concerned that the visual intensity of the movie would be too upsetting for her, but was reassured when she told me that she loved it and had watched it with her friends at least 4 times already (the first week she had it !!) I live in a different state and will have to wait until I visit her to see the movie myself but, based on her review, I would have to give it a full 5 stars. That it was made by Disney also helped me with my decision. My hope is that, by seeing this movie, she will have a new awareness of what terrible things racism and bigotry can do if allowed to exist in society. I think all children her age and up should see it (in most cases younger children should probably not). The world might be a better place if they did.
Summary of Anne Frank - The Whole Story
Ben Kingsley, Brenda Blethyn, and Hannah Taylor Gordon star in the stirring tale of one of the most influential young women of the 20th century. Based on Melissa Muller's critically acclaimed book, ANNE FRANK goes beyond the story you already know and paints the true portrait of Anne both before and after she went into hiding. Get to know the high-spirited and popular girl before the war, and experience the challenges of the brave people who risked their lives trying to keep her safe. ANNE FRANK also explores the enduring mystery of who betrayed the Frank family and reveals what happened next.Anne Frank: The Whole Story delivers exactly what it promises: the incredibly moving complete story of Anne Frank, going beyond what the Jewish teenage girl wrote in her widely read diary. Anne, along with her family and friends of her family, hid in a secret annex behind her father's office in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation of Holland. She dutifully kept a diary, which became a worldwide bestseller when her father published it in the 1950s. The story has been adapted for television and movies before, but this version, which played on ABC television, moves beyond what Anne wrote, meeting up with the Frank family before Anne receives her diary, and following her past the diary's last entries into Auschwitz and Birkenau. Hannah Taylor Gordon is a superb Anne, bringing to life the multifaceted girl, in turns intelligent, dreamy, creative, spoiled, and bratty, a girl like any other except that Anne is a Jew in Nazi-occupied Holland. The only one who outshines Gordon is Ben Kingsley as Anne's father, Otto Frank. His quiet performance is extraordinarily powerful; as he watches his family slip away, it is impossible not to feel his grief. This brave film is difficult in parts to watch--the concentration camp scenes are brutal--but this is a remarkable adaptation of Anne's life, and it is a film to be shared and discussed and remembered. --Jenny Brown
