marshallschunkychicken Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Had never heard of it before, Fiona rented the DVD , highly recommended. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0914798/ The other half's been reading the book. From what she's told me of it, it sounds good, but really harrowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Thor Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Wee man's doing the book at school as part of a WWII project. We watched the movie on SKY a few weeks ago. I thought it was quite strong subject matter for a 10 year-old to get his head around but obviously not. Good film though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_fae_Gillie Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Great story but terrible film... Clearly done on a small budget 1 house 1 car 5 nazi uniforms 100yds of barbwire 20planks of wood plus bunch of cheap UK actors... The story deserves a good production OK not in the same league as "schindlers list" but it just seemed to be so cheap and nasty... If you like reading then read the book and give the movie a miss.

A bit harsh. The book's terrific and the film is actually Ok even if not quite up to the standards of the book itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie-HMFC Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Watched it last week, very good film! Kind of predictable though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigaro Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Read the book in the summer as a quickie while I was on holiday. Was a decent read, but as Jamie-HMFC says, the ending was pretty predictable. Still enjoyed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh hibees are gay Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you can handle subtitles,,a film called -Life is beautiful- same war and a better class of film ,,,,,,,or Stalingrad(brutal but brilliant) ,or Rosenstrasse,3 of the best 2nd w.w movies imo and more realistic than American sugary keek like inglorious basterds etc,, All 3 are subtitled ,but worth the trouble.
