This was a very good movie, and it is such a shame. It made me cry through most of it, and it did have some funny parts, like when Mr.Van Dan was smoking that new cigarrette that Anne made him, it puffed all over, and when Mr. Dussel got those earplugs stuck in his ears.. still so sad, this should have never happened, though I can't help thinking, at least this is a hard lesson to never. EVER. do this again. Ever. I'd love so much to punch those who even dare praise Hitler just because of what he did, they want sufforings for others, right? Why not give them what they deserve. Then again, I would hate to sink to their level. I must question, how the heck can one deny the holcoast, how could they say it never happened? What on earth are they talking about? I'm just wondering, because people claim it never happened, when it so obviously did...

I cry everytime. . . :*( But it's one of the most amazing movies ever. I am deeply touched by this subject, I cry everytime I see a nazi sign ( which shouldn't be often, but my dumb classmates have NO clue what they're doing ) Those sirins, ring in my mind forever. . but it's an amazing story, its beautiful. It is so amazing, yes, I didn't like the ending though. I wish none of those terrible things happened to those poor people! Non only jews, but gypsies, homosexuals, . . . ANYONE! It SHOULDN'T have happened. And if I was there, I would hide anyone needed hiden, anything to keep them safe. I'd let them take me before them. Really- I thought it over. I'd recoment it to anyone that could watch it without passing out of being scared ( which is unlikely ) It's a story about family- its a story about fear, its a story about faith. :) Please watch it. I watched a high school play off the movie, it was SO funny, and so sad. Many people came out crying- including me. I have this terrible person as a so called friend that laighs at it, I know this wasn't the way to go, but I slapped her for it. I do not regret it, she laughs about things as terrible as that, she has NO idea what she is talking about! ( Please see this movie ) P.S. Watch the video "Anne Frank- my heart will go on" on youtube, and click the very first one listed ( I'm listening to it now )

Love it!

We're reading the play (which is almost identical to this movie... which we are also seeing) in class. The more I read of it, the more sickened I am with the Holocaust. Such a horrible time in history that shouldn't even happened. :( Anyway... the movie is very, very sad. I wish this wasn't a true story, but it is. There's some humourous parts in the movie, though, like when Mr. Van Daan said: "What you need is a good old-fashioned spanking!" and Anne said "Remember, Mr. So and So, remember I'm a lady!" (Referring to a story that Mrs. Van Daan told her earlier.) There isn't any explicit violence-- although there's scary noises and everyone knows what kind of danger the Franks, the Van Daans, and Mr. Dussel are in should they be discovered by the Nazis-- and nothing too overly dirty, except for Mrs. Van Daan fishing for weird compliments from Mr. Frank, and Peter and Anne kissing once. I think this is a movie all kids should see-- Anne Frank gave us a peek at what it was like to be hiding from the Nazis, she showed the world what the Holocaust was like through a teen's perspective.

This is a great movie that tells the story of Anne Frank up until the point she was captured. It is one of the few movies that have actually almost made me cry. Younger kids who don't know much about the holocaust may have a hard time understanding the movie. I think everyone should see this classic.
