"Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."
For me this is the best example for, why film as a medium matters so much for me. I think never has any piece of art or documentary caused so many strong emotions while consuming. Spielbergs depiction of the horrors in Poland in times of War and holocaust brings me to tears every time.
It is almost unimaginable that these cruelties towards so many people was done through the hands of may…
I was impressed by the impact of these countless well crafted scenes and meaningful details this film showed. This story is told so incredibly well, using minimal dialogue and just the characters actions and expressions to deliver emotions. I am deeply moved by these stories where the love of two people and their life together never really get to be, which of course is the worst thing ever and always makes me feel incredibly sad. They also remind me of the people/ relationships that I never got to know better because life got in the way.
This movie made me feel so much anger and fear. I really got sucked into this breathtaking story just after the first act, which for my taste is way too long and makes the film very stretched. Nevertheless one of the most moving films I have seen in a long time.
