SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Overrated

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I watched this movie two years ago, and since that time, it is one of my favorite movies! I would like describe in short. The music of the movie is wonderful, the cast is perfect, and Robert Dornhelm, the director, was able to make this movie wonderfully. The cast is perfect. Ben Kingsley and Hannah Taylor Gordon are perfect for their role as Otto and Anne, Brenda Blethyn, Jessica Manley and Lili Taylor also give nice performances. When I first saw the movie it brought tears to my eyes. Hannah Taylor Gordon looks like Anne Frank, and Ben Kingsley also looks like Otto Frank. This is the best Anne Frank movie I've seen, as it shows the whole story of Anne Frank.

This movie is unfortunately poorly put together. I had trouble from the beginning as "Sir Ben Kinglsey" acted as Otto Frank. His accent was poor, and although he looks like Mr.Frank, He seemed to have over-dramatized his role. The other members of the annex were O.K along the lines of acting, but the look wasn't right. Peter is nothing like he supposed to look, Mrs. VanPels is nothing but a large lady in a Dress. And Mr.Pheffer is not suited for his role as Fritz. The movie from beginning to end is choppy, and very sloppy with little scenes from the Annex, and way to many scenes of Anne's life beforehand. The scenes with the Annex are making it seem like it was huge! It most certainly not. The shining stars are Hannah Taylor Gordon as Anne, for she not only looks the part, but she acts in the most brilliant way I've seen since Millie Perkins as Anne. If they were both to meld to be Anne, I would love to see it. Also Lili Taylor was brilliant as Miep Gies. For A Real Anne Frank Movie See George Stevens version of the timeless classic.

we been reading the play of Anne frank is school.i thought that was SO sad..but yesterday @ school we watched this movie in the black & white version i cried and cried and cried,the teachers actually had to pause the movie so i could calm down..you should all know why i was crying.but i was also crying cause everyone else was making fun of me cause i was crying,and when someone died are something sad happened,everyone would laugh..i have never really hung out with people my age.i always knew most kids my age were immature.now i just think that they are dis respectful and very rude.people have always said i am mature for my age but seeing people of the same age be so cruel and mean makes me so ashamed.Anne frank is now like a role model to me,she has made me change the way i think about people and the way i live my life.....i thank her very much...

In January 2003 on a college trip to Amsterdam, i and other friends went into the Anne Frank Huis on the last day. This is the famous place where she and her family went into hiding. i found it strange to actually walk up those hidden stairs and see things such as the heights of the two girls still preserved on the walls in pencil. i found the whole experience to be the most moving place i've ever been to.seeing Anne Frank: the Whole Story on tv a few months after i just had to see it. It is a film which does everything right, its doesn't hide behind any barriers and shows the truth as it really was. We all know about Anne Frank's life during the time she wrote in her diary and in the 'hiding period' and it does show this, but what it also shows is afterwards - after they were found out and taken away. It shows just how Jews were treated and is unbelievable such terrible things occured in only the 20th century - a century most of us were born in, and yet similar regimes in the world today still treat humans like this. You see the Frank and Van Pels' family split up by their sex, stripped naked and the women having their hair cut short and sleeping in cramped conditions, starving and forced to dig...presumably mass graves in which they would be buried. We can only imagine what was going through her mind as Anne didn't take her diary with her to the Camp. To be told your father is already in the gas chambers is not what any 16 year old girl should ever be told. All in all i cant find any fault with the film, it gives her diary and the whole story justice and is nice to see the helper's of Otto's factory to be shown quite frequently and involving them. It is also supported by a strong cast, especially Ben Kingsley as the father who survives the concentration camp to learn after the war that his wife and two daughters are dead. Perhaps the most moving aspect i found were the actual words at the end telling you statistics and what happened to the individuals (including the factory workers/helpers) and it leaves you with something really strong which really makes you think "One and a half million children were murdered in the genocide the Nazi's called 'The Final Solution'. Anne Frank's story is only one of them"
