Sandy rated this movie A, in part because of it's depiction of sensitive and real people. My view is that It's one more movie about Holocaust survivors who are forced to live with the traumas they endured under Hitler . . . for the rest of their lives. In this situation, a survivor, who is a literary light, is severely depressed and meets a special women . . . they have a child, he miraculously becomes un-depressed (with no talk or drug therapy) and they live happily ever after on a Greek Island in the beautiful Aegean Sea.
What struck me while I was watching was that here was one more film that is part of the strategy to never allow the story of the Holocaust to disappear. The thinking is that if we tell the story over and over (i.e. Schindler's List), future Holocausts have a smaller chance of happening again.
Unfortunately, I believe that this approach to understanding man's inhumanity to man . . and eliminating it . . . is a total failure. Either humanity has to create a program to understand this problem, and eliminate it, or live with Holocausts till the end of time. It is our choice. I think it is a more important issue than high oil prices.
