Description War brews over Warsaw in 1939, and while life is still running its course, the Germans are slowly beginning to make their presence felt, with Hitler secretly preparing for the German invasion of Poland. Under those circumstances, the young couple of Jan and Antonina Zabinski continue their daily routine as owners and keepers of the Warsaw Zoo, but soon, as German Luftwaffe's Stukas hammer the Polish capital, their life's work together with the city, will turn to ashes. However, with the zoo liquidated for the war effort and many of its animals tragically perished, what was once an animals' zoo, will now serve as a sanctuary where Antonina, the humanist veterinarian, and Jan can hide the persecuted Polish Jews in plain sight until safe houses are found. That was Jan and Antonina's formidable, yet perilous plan, who regardless of the consequences, refused to wither before the Nazi menace, took matters into their own hands and sheltered 300 Jews under the Germans' noses.

A lot of people have complained about the film's plot, but what I found most interesting was the thought it was presented. I read many reviews saying "What the hell is this all about?" But I think it was a good idea, and it was done very well. Although I don't believe that there is a "truth" to the movie, I felt a strong sense of realism. I don't think there is a need to analyze the events of the movie, I think we can all understand the feelings of the characters (even if they were not depicted accurately). I am not sure if the film was an attempt to get people to actually think about their beliefs, or if they were just trying to make a good movie. I believe the audience is supposed to be able to draw their own conclusions about what it is they think. The film is definitely not "the truth", but it is good to know the opposite is possible. Also, if you are not Christian, don't believe the Catholic Church, or don't believe in God, then you will not find anything wrong with the movie. I hope this review was helpful.

In 1948, the English Civil War was over. Winston Churchill, a year earlier, had been assassinated in India by the communists. A year earlier, the United Kingdom had won the war and the peace was quickly established in Europe and the world. The British Empire was in a state of turmoil, having just lost the war to the Soviet Union and facing the possibility of an economic collapse and a domestic revolution. There was much anxiety in the U.K. government as to whether or not Winston Churchill would survive to the end of his presidency. Yet, despite the dire circumstances that the British had to deal with, Churchill refused to give up the principles that made him famous. He continued to focus on the economic and social benefits that the nation derived from war, and even went so far as to advocate this form of patriotism. He believed that it was the patriotic duty of all Britons to support the government and his government would not be undermined by foreign powers. It was this strong commitment to the British Empire that brought him his greatest popularity and his popularity only continued to grow with the passing of time. Winston Churchill was to be remembered by many for his love of war and his belief that the best way to improve the economic and social well being of the nation was to make war. And this idea became the guiding philosophy of the British Empire, which eventually resulted in the British Empire becoming the world's largest trading empire. But at this point, I will focus on Churchill's personal life and his relationship with his wife, Clementine, who lived with him throughout the years of his premiership. Winston Churchill died in 1960 at the age of 82. He was very frail and could not lead the nation as he wanted to, but his belief in the virtues of war and patriotism kept him alive. This led to the creation of the government of the United Kingdom, which would eventually lead to the formation of the Commonwealth of Nations. This film tells the story of Churchill's love for the war and his beliefs that it was the greatest way to improve the economic and social welfare of the nation. It is based on true events and was made by the British government for the public. It is good to see a film that shows the impact of Winston Churchill's life and his belief in the need to fight the war to better the nation. It is a very well-made and well-made film.

In 2004 I finally got to see this film on DVD and was glad to see it. It was a great looking film that had a lot of history and it was very moving. It was an interesting character study that I don't think was told at all in the summary that I read before. The film is a lot of history and some of the details that I learned are very clear to the viewer. The performances of the main characters are excellent and even though the performances aren't Oscar worthy there are some performances that are very strong. It was good to see the film from a different perspective. I highly recommend this film to anyone.

Well, i enjoyed the movie. I would have liked a little more character development but it was still good. The script was good, the acting was excellent. It is one of those movies where you will be completely immersed in the moment. I was not surprised when the movie was over. The movie kept my attention and was enjoyable throughout. I can see the appeal of this film, both for those who are men, women, or everyone. The themes of the film are real, the actors gave good performances, and the plot was well thought out. This movie is one of those movies where you have to think about what you are seeing and you will find yourself relating to the characters in some way. If you like movies that are different from the usual Hollywood movies, this is definitely one of those movies you will enjoy.

I saw this film the day it came out on video. I was excited to watch a film that was different than the usual war films. I was very disappointed at how the film ended. It was rushed, as was the beginning of the film. I was disappointed because I had so much interest in this film. This film was made in 1970, but I can't see what the big deal is about the video store selling a film so old as a war film. I know a lot of people who saw this film when it came out, and the audience laughed at it. The characters were well played and the story was interesting. The actors who were given the lead parts did a great job. I would like to see a film made that is different than the usual war film.

I have seen both the 1939 version and this one. I'm glad that they made the movie last year instead of waiting to be able to buy a copy. The movie was based on real events. All the performances were excellent and the casting was perfect. I have never seen the 1939 version, but this one was enjoyable and entertaining. I wish that the 1939 version was better known.

I am not sure what to think about the film. I am not familiar with the true story of Dr. William Zillman, but I can see why a lot of people would be interested in this film. I thought the film was well done. It was exciting, and most of all was beautiful to watch. I felt a little uncomfortable watching the film because of the subject matter, and I think that this is a good thing. The subjects of the film were all important, but I also felt that the film was very well balanced, as there were no in-your-face events. I liked the film a lot and I think that it is a good way to see the true story of Dr. Zillman. I am not sure what you should think of this film, but I think it is a good film. I give it an 8/10.

I watched this movie in the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival and I must say that it was excellent. The story of the fall of the German Enigma machine and the trial of Basterds and Meinhof is a story about the anti-heroes in history. The genius of the Enigma and the technical skill of the team at Basterds is the biggest evidence of the value of this story. The presentation of the story of the fall of the machine is wonderful. The story is filled with patriotic feelings, the way the other characters in the story are portrayed, the setting, and the character are outstanding. This is a movie that I will see again and again. The story is a little bit ridiculous but it is very important. It is a story about people, it is about the Nazi and the occupation, it is a story about heroes. This is a movie that I recommend to all people who enjoy great movies and of course to every person who is interested in World War 2.

This movie had great acting and some powerful scenes, but the ending was a bit weak. All in all, a great movie to watch, it will be one of my favorite movies next year.

A well done film about an unlikely love. It's a film about a woman who uses her intelligence and her skills to help those less fortunate than herself. She becomes a role model, and the world is a better place for it. Her story is about overcoming hardship, the willingness to stand up for what's right. The film is full of dialogue that is both poetic and entertaining, and about the wisdom of humanity. It's about the brave decisions women make, and the lessons we should learn from them. This movie is about strength and independence. The struggle of the women of Vietnam. It's a role model that inspires us.

This film is by far one of the best films of 2004, but sadly I have to say it has to be one of the worst movies of the year. The story of the Zookeeper's Wife is gripping and sad. The film focuses on the relationship between Paul Giamatti and his wife, Gretchen Mol. Paul Giamatti is truly the best actor of this year. He plays the title character and his performance is truly extraordinary. He is not only a great actor but a great actor in a role that demands a lot of attention. He conveys the main character's feelings perfectly. The film's story is also very well written and the story is just good enough. It is not too long and the story is understandable. The film is not too violent and is not a shocker like "Dances with Wolves". I think the film is very good and I think that all of the Academy voters deserve a "B" for their award. However, this film should have won Best Picture because it is well written and was one of the best films of the year. I think "Zookeeper's Wife" is a great film and I highly recommend it to anyone.

I went into this movie with my expectations low, but after the first 20 minutes I realized that I was actually enjoying this movie. I wasn't expecting much going in, but I came out of it saying that I felt as if I had been in a historical period. I even began to identify with the characters, especially the young woman. I have no idea how this movie was nominated for an Oscar, but I can say that it is definitely worth a watch.

I didn't know what to expect when I was initially attracted to this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was excellent! I loved the characters, the story line, the cinematography, the acting, and the locations! I loved the depiction of the Korean War. I loved the acting by the cast, especially Mia Farrow, who I've always admired, especially in "The Hours". But the best part about this film was the cinematography and the story. This is a movie that really shows what war is like and what it can do to a person's life. This is a movie about a man, who after a terrible experience, he is still haunted by the past. He has this voice in his head that makes him act in a way that reminds him of the war. He is haunted by the memories and the guilt. He is haunted by his wife's death, and his terrible experience, and he tries to kill himself. It's a great movie that deals with a very real and painful subject, which some people will find hard to deal with, and some people will love. I give it an 8/10. Thank you, "The Zookeeper's Wife" for showing me the true face of war.

First I should say that I am a big fan of cinematographer Roger Deakins and his work in the Godfather trilogy. I was very intrigued by this movie as well as the first and second Godfather movies. I really liked the first two, I thought they were excellent. This movie is also a good one. I liked how the story unfolded, especially how it ended. I thought it was a very powerful ending to a great film. The scenes are very haunting and the music is perfect for the scenes. I loved how the movie dealt with the issues of the time, particularly with the Spanish American War and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The film is great in every aspect. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of cinematography, especially of Roger Deakins. I give it an A.

This is a well made film that captures the 1940s in a very authentic way. Many of the scenes were very well made, especially the train ride, the famous "Trolley-Heroes" and the filming of the falling of the Berlin Wall. There are several powerful scenes, especially the bridge scene and the first five minutes of the movie. The performance of the actress Anna Kendrick was excellent, she carried the film very well, and I believe she should have won an Oscar for her portrayal of a character that we know little about, but which is portrayed in the film so well that we identify with her, and in a way we are rooting for her. The director, Paul Thomas Anderson, also did a very good job in creating a chilling and realistic atmosphere throughout the entire film. The story is very well done and I was genuinely scared throughout the film, although at the end I was a bit disappointed that it was not shown. My only criticism is that there are some scenes that seemed too long, the scene in the Nazi barracks was too long, and the long sequence of the RCAF entering the Soviet Union was too long, it seemed that the director was just wanting to finish the film before the next scene came. The director's commentary on the DVD also indicated that the director wanted to show more scenes from the liberation of the camp and in the train, but the director decided not to. This may have made for a better film, however it's still an excellent film. I would recommend this film to people who enjoy war-related movies and don't mind the more realistic portrayal of the war.

You can really see the humanity of a man, or of a family, or of a nation. It is one of the few movies I've ever seen that shows both sides of a great war. It makes you think about it. It makes you cry. It makes you want to know more. I watched it with my friends and we all had the same reaction. It is a masterpiece. I would say it is one of the best films of 2009.

A great film that will leave you with a warm feeling. However, as I've already said, I am a bit picky with movies that I have to have all the historical facts right, but "Zookeeper's Wife" was not an exception. When I first watched it, I had a feeling of a little too much of some of the historical facts but in the end it did not matter much. The good thing about the movie is that you get to see a variety of characters, some of which are amazing to watch. In addition, the production is very good. There is a good sense of realism, and the camerawork is very good. Also, I must say that I was very impressed with the performance of Laura Linney, as she is the only strong character in the movie and she is absolutely magnificent. However, the movie is also very disturbing, and I'm glad it was not directed by a "pro" at that. The film is probably aimed for a younger audience, but I really think that younger people should not watch this film, and I certainly hope that it will receive more reviews and be more widely available, as it deserves to be. (For the record, I'm 23, and the title is a bit misleading, since I saw the movie at the age of 18.)

Bravo. Most of us are familiar with the book "The Zookeeper's Wife" and have probably seen the movie version. I watched this in a theater, and it was a nice change of pace. The film is very different, but in the same vein as the book. The movie is definitely not for all audiences. The audience that goes in expecting a film like this, might not like it. For this film, it's an interesting film, and a nice change of pace from the standard war movie. I was surprised at how they managed to tell the story of a woman who is abused by her husband and in need of help. I also was impressed by the acting, although a little cheesy at times. It was great to see a movie where I didn't need to know every word. The most remarkable aspect of the film, was the use of music. I was happy with the choice of music and the particular selections in the film. I think this is a film that will stand the test of time, and that is a great feat to accomplish. A lot of people, are hesitant to see a film about a war, but this film is very refreshing, and I hope you will give it a chance.

The story of the family of Nelson Mandela is an inspirational tale of courage and hope. The movie also points out the terrible plight of millions of refugees from war and poverty in Africa, and how Africa is being destroyed by the likes of Rwanda, Darfur, and Sudan. There is also a little bit of humor in the movie, such as the news reporter's attempts to prove a nonexistent bird flu epidemic and the "screaming" over a missing sawn off shotgun. The movie is based on a true story. I highly recommend watching this film.

This is an amazing movie that explores the world through the eyes of a zookeeper. Each time I watch this movie I feel a little more connected to it and I feel for all of the characters. I believe this is a movie that will stick with you long after you watch it.

I'm not a film critic, so I'll probably have a hard time distinguishing between good and bad movies. There is a lot that I could complain about, but what struck me most was the level of immersion the viewer gets into the film. There are also moments that will remind you of the Vietnam War, and you won't be surprised. The film was very well written, and the story told is very true to life. I thought that the two older men who made up the movie was the best part of the film. That's not saying much, but it's a bit much to expect from the two young people. I didn't care much for the movie, but I have to admit that it was well made. I would suggest this movie to anyone who wants a good movie, and even though I thought the acting was pretty good, I could understand why some people would not enjoy it.

The Zookeeper's Wife is an excellent drama, and one of the better films of 2013. I felt it was even better than the previous film in the series, Donnie Darko. This movie was very interesting from the start, with a lot of plot twists and surprising twists. It's an excellent movie to watch on a rainy day. 8/10.

This movie was a tear jerker for me. One of the reasons it did that for me was because I'm a guy and I love WW2 movies. It was very convincing and it was very realistic. I'm a big fan of Hugh Jackman and I think this movie will be one of the best in his career. It is a great story that will make you cry and understand a lot of emotions. It does have a very strong cast but it is also the best part of this movie. Everyone did an amazing job. I think this is the best movie I have ever seen and I have seen many of them.

At the heart of this film is the story of an ordinary woman who learns to survive and adapt to war and terror. The film itself is a study of how ordinary people struggle to survive in a world that seems to have no meaning. The film features only one accent - English - and many of the women speak with the accent of their birth country. This adds to the realism of the film. The characters all portray a different country and ethnicity, but all speak the same language. This, combined with the isolation of the women's group and their anti-war protest, gives the film a real feel of the fear and suffering of a woman's life in a war zone. It's an incredibly realistic depiction of women in war, and is particularly effective because the film shows the struggle of a woman to find her own identity, and the normalities of survival, especially in a world that seems devoid of meaning. The characters are very real and believable. All the actors and actresses are well chosen. The cinematography is very well done and I really enjoyed the images of the film. The sound effects were very good and added to the realism of the scenes. The film is very well directed and acted. It really is a very powerful, powerful film. It was an important movie and one that I think all women should see, as it's very very important.
