A movie that adds something, 6 January 2003
10/10
Author: darkoneills (r.niels@student.kun.nl) from Nijmegen, Netherlands

If you haven't seen this one yet: go see it! It is, without any doubt, the best WW2-movie I have ever seen. It is the personal story of two sisters (twins) who are separated at a young age. One of them grows up in The Netherlands, the other in Germany.

In most WW2-movies you get the idea that all Germans are 'bad guys'. Through her book, and now also through the movie, Tessa de Loo shows the world how the situation in Germany was and makes the viewer/reader understand how it was possible that ordinary German people supported Hitler, just because they didn't know what he was up to.

Beside this interesting 'new' viewpoint, it is a very good movie, possibly the best Dutch movie I have ever seen.
