Movie Reviews of The Island on Bird Street
Movie Review: A Robinson Crusoe Story
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is based on a true story that occurred in the Polish ghetto during the holocaust. It's a survival story of a boy who, at his father's instruction, faithfully waited for him at the ghetto until he returned from deportation to the concentration camps.
*The boy's close encounters with the Nazi's and Polish collaborators will put you into suspenseful dread. The days add up and many have advised him that his father's chances for returning were very poor. He's given options from sympathetic Poles who offer him a chance to leave the dangers of the ghetto at the risk of not being there when his father returns.
*Other holocaust films that I've viewed have ended tragically. This film is similar to the movie `Edges of the Lord'. Both of these films depict life in a world of evil and the good will of those who oppose it. `Edges of the Lord' has a poignant ending to it but this story has a happy ending.
*Today the boy portrayed in the movie is an internationally acclaimed writer. I highly recommend it for family viewing.
