"Everything is illumated"by Liev Schreiber.2005.First part

A young Jewish American flies to the Ukraine in search of his grandfather's past. He has a photograph and the name of a village. He hires the Odessa Heritage Tours, made up of a gruff old man and his English-speaking grandson. The three, plus grandfather's deranged dog, travel in an old car from Odessa into Ukraine's heart. Jonathan, the American, is a collector, putting things he finds into small plastic bags, so he will remember. Alex, the interpreter, is an archetypal wild and crazy guy. Alex asks the old man, "Was there anti-Semitism in the Ukraine before the war?" Will they find the village? The past illuminates everything.

Maybe because it was just my era, but the original cast of SNL was the best..oh, and this movie was great

[playbyyourself]

Yes, Alex IS the archetypal wild and crazy guy... from the moment he opened his mouth all I could think of was SNL's Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd looking to procure birth control dee-vices at statue of liberty... because "We are..two wild and crazy guys lookeeng for weemen with big American breasts Lmao, God I'm old....

Sad illustration of a bestial anti-Semitism in Ukraine

[Nikanaiko]

Agreed. I've been a huge fan of the movie for years but only recently got my hands on the book, It really is so much better. The movie is pretty much Alex's interpretation of the story, nevermind how much he edited.

Besides... Where did the "collecting" thing come from? xD The only thing he "collected" in the book was dirt from the Brod.

If you guys liked the movie you should definitely read the book. It's amazing. The movie doesn't do it justice. The movie is less than half the book.
