Movie Reviews of Divided We Fall
Movie Review: Beautiful Film in Myriad Ways
Summary: 5 Stars
Divided We Fall is a well-made film, artistically and historically. The lighting, cinematography and recreation of history is brilliant, as is the direction. Plot-wise, it is a gripping film because it touches upon the psychological impact of ordinary people caught up in violent, murderous, tumultuous times. The repercussions of the Holocaust upon the millions of lives of those who have been effected is inestimable. Europe is still reeling from the damage not only in terms of loss of life and physical suffering, but also emotional scars that are personal, social, national and international. This movie is but a microcosm that explores a struggle with conscience, confused loyalties and unwilling participants caught up in sheer madness. The acting is excellent. The directing is tight without dragging or creating melodrama, and the story line is compelling.Movie Review: United We Stand
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is one of the best of all time, and certainly one of the best kept secrets among film buffs. It deals with a childless Czech family during the German occupation of World War II who at great personal risk hide the son of their former Jewish employer. What develops is a story that mirrors the Gospel account of the conception and birth of Jesus, but is presented as entirely plausible, despite the delightful slapstick. Not even the collaborators and turncoats are portrayed without compassion, though their foibles (as well as those of our heroes) are gently mocked in a truly universal and life affirming way. This is magical realism with an eastern European flavor.Movie Review: An incredibly moving film...
Summary: 5 Stars
A movie about the horrors of the Nazi regime seen not only from the Jewish perspective, but also from the perspective of non-Jews in conquered Tschechoslovakei. Each character has their own personality, their own doubts and fears. In the end there is an unbreakable circle of salvation that gives the movie a poignant and unforgettable ending. A movie that's serious and humourous while at the same time cinematographically astounding.Movie Review: Heart felt
Summary: 5 Stars
I initally rented the film online. Fell in love with the complex human interactions to survive during WW2, and to still do what is right. The ending has a twist to it that I did not expect. I liked this one so much that I purchased my own copy. Do not let the fear of English subtitals get in your way of a great movie.Movie Review: Divided...
Summary: 5 Stars
MUSIME SI POMAHAT (We must help each other) is the original Czech title, which, I think, fit the film better. I love the film very much, but I must agree thle last scene was really a little bit too surrealistic. Anyone remember The Shop on the Main Street?
