Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jacob the Liar
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed this movie, which takes place in a Jewish ghetto during the holocaust. It has a nice combination of humour, drama, and sadness. In the end it brought me to tears. It really shows the desperation of hopelessness facing the Jewish people in Germany during the holocaust, and the cruelty of the Germans towards them at that time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A humorous and very touching movie!

Summary: Long Live hope
Review: If you've seen Life is Beautiful...you will like this for sure...for those who haven't...the movie takes place in a Jewish "ghetto" under Germany's control. This movie isn't a war story as much as it is about Hope and the ability to bring hope to people in the most dire of circumstances. Robin Williams is very good in this movie although maybe not quite frightened enough of the Germans. Although I guess without experiencing that sort of thing, it would be hard to portray the kind of fear that I'm sure the people at that time felt. The movie has a few light-hearted moments that add to the flow of the movie...although be warned, it starts a little slow. The pay off definitely comes in the end though.
