Movie Reviews of The Diary of Anne Frank
Movie Review: My favorite movie of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
My favorite movie is The Diary of Anne Frank. (1959).
Why? This is a movie about a 13 year old girl and her family that hides with her family and 4 other people in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to escape from the Nazis during World War 2 because they are Jewish.
The characters consists of Mr., Frank, Mrs. Frank, their daughters Margot and Anne. Then there are the Van Daans, and their son Peter. Also, there is a crabby old dentist. And they have the helpers, Mr. Kraler and Miep. They help the people in the secret annex get food and clothing. Later in the movie, Anne falls in love with Peter, the Van Daans' son. They tell each other everything.
*Beware, at the end, Peter and Anne kiss a couple of times, and everybody is arrested and taken to conceratiain camps. Mr. Frank is the only survivor.
Movie Review: Great historical movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this as a kid with my parents. THIS IS A TRUE STORY of the MOST FAMOUS JEW put to death by Hitler in WWII. The movie shows the "blossoming" of a pre-teen girl into a 16 yr old young woman. Millie Perkins and the rest of the cast brought this to life and meaning that we all can understand. The story ends as her family is found and taken to the prison camps, so you don't see that part of history. The end is a "verbal review" of what happened during that time by Mr. Frank as he discovers her "diary" back in the loft where the families existed for 3 years before being found by Nazis.
Heart wrenching but endearing. I have watched this over and over. Those people wishing to "delete" the holacaust from history should watch this movie and actually READ the diary!
Movie Review: Excellent--Highly Recommend
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful and very touching dramatization about a gifted, young German Jewish girl whose family had to go into hiding in order to avoid being captured and killed by the Nazis. The characters of Miep Gies and Kraler--Otto Frank's co-workers who hid the family at this horrible time and place--are very, very positive, as well. The film stars Millie Perkins (Anne Frank,) Richard Beymer as Peter Van Daan,) Ed Wynn (Dussel) and Shelley Winters (Mrs. Van Daan) who won an award for this as best supporting actress. All were absolutely brilliant. The film is a work of art that won several academy awards. I cannot recommend highly enough this remarkable and brilliant work--as positive and human as Anne herself.Movie Review: The Diary of Anne Frank
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the finest postwar films to deal with the human drama of the Holocaust, Stevens's tense, heartfelt adaptation of the popular stage play was based on the real-life Frank's own diaries. Schildkraut is tailor-made for the role of the ever-patient Mr. Frank, and Perkins is movingly adept at capturing Anne's adolescent turmoil in the face of impending horror. Shelley Winters's anxious, high-strung turn as Mrs. Van Dean won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Gorgeously shot in CinemaScope by Oscar winner William Mellor, "Diary" is a poignant and ultimately tragic coming-of-age tale about a kind of imprisonment from which there is no escape.Movie Review: Remarkable
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those films that all humanity should see, it is remarkable, penetrating and soul wrenching. I not only recommend the film, but the historical presentation within, as it will stir the soul of the viewer to tears. The acting, writing, dialogue, and production of the film will impact any viewer, as it was all marvelously choreographed. This is also a very serious film, with intent to stir, and that with truthful and sincere intent, a viewer should be prepared for that kind of context. The film also stays fairly true to the Diary, as well as to the outside circumstances relative to the time and political era.
