Movie Reviews of Europa Europa
Movie Review: An unusually even-handed war film
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a rare film that deals with the Third Reich, the Jewish "solutions" and the horror to be seen all around. The hero , a young Jew, finds himself to be accepted, even the recipient of great affection by Jews, Russian Communists and German National Socialists alike and it is almost in equal portions that that affection is offered to the young man. The film offers us glimpses into these three very different worlds and the author , while sharing his tragic losses and his hiding from all who are close to him, gives us glimpses of compassion even among the Nazis and the hard-line Communists of Stalin's Russia.There are instances of rare humor and if the question of keeping one's foreskin has never seemed to be of much importance, there is something here of both tragedy and humor in the simple matter of urinating around other guys. This is not one of those all too common "in your face" Holocaust films. Solomon Perel has survived in more than having kept his life. He has survived with his spirit, his dignity and his humanity intact as well.Movie Review: Awsome acting/story but sucky end...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've never paid any attention to the holocaust until this movie... god these germans were mad people, I just can not believe these things actually happened like only 60 years ago on this planet! I prolly had not cried like in 10 years until I saw the scene when this kid confessed to his girlfriend's mother... what a bunch miserable people actually allowed this to happen... see like today I can vote bush out if I think he's dangerous... well if germans couldn't vote then at least they could assasinate hitler, I'm not trying to promote violence, but if one man could make millions to suffer like that... I still feel like vomitting... well what a shocking story... all good actors in this movie... this sucky director ruined whole movie by having an ending like that... it's like watching a schwarzenegger movie... you know things like that don't happen in real life... duh...
Movie Review: Europa Europa
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed watching this movie and I feel it did a good job of showing one boy's adventure of defeating the Nazi's in the Holocaust. Even though the main charactor was Jewish, the movie also adressed the hardships of a homosexual during the Holocaust. My favorite scene is in the classroom where the teacher does a lesson to show that you can identify a Jew by the shape of their skull and he fails to do so. I think this scene did a good job at depicting the flaws in Nazi ideology. I also liked the part where the children were told to pray to the Fuher for candy and it falls from a vent in the ceiling. This scene showed how everybosy was brainwashed. Twords the end of the movie, it was nice to see that the boy was reunited with his brother. Overall, I recommend this movie if you are interested in seeing one of the few sucess stories of the Holocaust.Movie Review: Not Another Story of Survival
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a not so typical documentary of a Jewish kid escaping the Reicht. The difference is that he escapes by joining the Reicht itself as a Nazi youth. His incredible luck throughout the story sounds greatly exaggerated but some areas are actually true. These include fooling the Nazi teachers into thinking he is an Aryan among other things. This movie further enforces the idea that Nazi ideology was mere a pseudo science based on nothing factual. Although this is mainly a factual movie about Solomon Perel, it seems there were many exaggerations in the movie. The ending was created to coincidentally with the reunion. It was as if it was made just for the sake of the movie's plot rather than real actual fact. Overall though, the movie was a good and very informative documentary of the experiences Perel had as a Jew hiding among the German NazisMovie Review: Next Holocaust Tragic Comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
As it is customised recently, War II and Holocaust are being depicted in tragic comedies to modern viewers much easy to swallow, perhaps (see The Tin Drum ~ Original Theatrical Release [Import, All-region] (Dvd), Life Is Beautiful, Saving Private Ryan (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)).
