The movie was really inspiring because it showed me that no matter what people tell you in bad situation You always do the right thing. Even if it means helping someone and or risking your life doing that good deed. It really touched my heart and it was very sad. I'm taking about a little boy, doing something extrordinary, helping another little boy in a concentration camp and people, his family, are telling him that Jews are evil, really when there people just like you and I. So, this movie was really sad.

This is a great film, alas it's about a lie we are told about the poor jews of WW2. Do research and you will find the truth. The so called gas chambers had WINDOWS with doors that open IN.. if bodies got piled so high they were up to 4 to 5 feet how could ANYONE open the doors to empty said bodies. None the less, this is a great movie/story. Worth watching as long as you remind yourself it's fantasy.

So it was a while back, we were watching this movie in school. I'm sitting next to this cute girl, and we're watching the movie, talking and all that bs. Then the saddest part of the movie comes on and she starts bawling, and I don't mean 1 little tear, full on waterworks dude. Now, like I've said before this girl is very attractive, and she's right next to me, crying. So I act fast and put my arm over her shoulders and pull her close. Surprised she looks at me, and kisses me. We started going out after lol
