Have you seen the film?

It is easy to be cynical, but the film is sensitively told and is a true story. Directors have been making war movies for years and I for one would much rather watch a film like this then anything Hollywood puts out.

This looks like it's a gripping drama. Perhaps like Shindler's list, not an easy film to like, but one of importance.

Renewed my faith in man,how even in the worst of places,with the worst of mankind,thievery still exists.I love it.Still there were people trying to "make money" in a bad situation,and do.And it's all true.This guy is a hero.

@SillyGrandpa You are silly,......This movie is a million miles away from The Holocaust.They ain't there,they are making money,lots of it.

@NWesterner You say,"It looks like,perhaps like..? You didn't even watch it ? Then how do you know what it is?I've watched it 10 times,NOT AT ALL,like Shindlers List.It's a funny story,about a mans greed,and a mans talent,and the will to live.

That's right, make a movie any movie on the Jewish Holocaust and you win the Oscar automatically.
