Lately I watched an old black and white movie and it is called The Diary of Anne Frank. Although it is an old movie, but I was still moved to it. After watching this movie, I checked back the history of the people who hid in this little room in World War II. It is sad to know that Otto Frank who was Anne's father was the only one survivor. Other people all died. They had hidden for over two years, but at the end they could not survive from the death.

Hi youless I have not seen this movie but I have read this in my lessons in English language.. yes thats true they all were hidden for two years and it was very difficult for them to go out and all.. I hardly remember this now..


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

This is a very old movie so I think not many people watched it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. chaitra001 (836)   ranked 487 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

but the little girl's dairy really tells the real story that how they suffered for such a long time..

I have seen this movie on television but have never really watched it. I started to watch it on youtube a few days ago but I never did finish watching it. It looks like a good movie and I plan to finish watching it one of these days. We had the book titled "The Diary Of Anne Frank" when I had my bookstore years ago. Yes, this is based on a true story. It's very sad, too. Kathy.

Perhaps you don't like the black and white movie very much. If this movie can be filmed again, perhaps it will attract more people.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cyrus123 (3255)   ranked 1,961 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

No, it's not that I don't like black and white movies. In fact, I like some of these movies better than some of the ones they make these days. It's just that, knowing me, I was probably so busy at the time and didn't have time to watch it. Kathy.

Of course. We should check back the truth of that movie storyline. You can check at Wikipedia or search at other related site. Mostly movie will add some part and remove some part from the real story to make that movie more interesting to audience.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

Yes, I checked this fact via Wikipedia.

I don't research further upon watching a true to life movies. I just contend myself with what I saw and learned from watching. And I always remember the moral lessons. It serves as my guide as I go through life.

Oh yes I do, I've seen TDAF too along time ago on TV and I remember searching her story in encyclopedia, there were no Encarta yet and internet that time. I always compare the facts on true-to-life movies if its really that true. War movies like "The longest Day", "Pearl Harbor", "Schindler's List" and the like, "300", "The last Samurai", "Joan of Arc" even the animated Disney movie "Anastasia".


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

I am not sure whether you have watched John Rabe. It is also a moving movie about the World War II. I checked about John Rabe via the net and he is a great man.


myLot reputation of 97/100. ferdzNK (2318)   ranked 979 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

I never new John Rabe but now! He must be a hero in your country, luckily it was released this year, hope I could grab a copy of it. Thanks Youlessthumbup

I had watch the same movies when I am in high school and even read some notes from her diaries from a book. Then, I learn it really happen and I think if I am not mistaken she get caught by the Nazis. I also saw Schindler list, and now I have internet connection. I research it and know the horrible scenes really happen. I feel so lucky I was born at this times not during their times. Wars is in unending fate, nobody becomes winner only many lives are loss. I do not wish or ever dream it happen again. So many innocent lives dies which is brought by wicked mad mind, delusional and with wrong ideology..


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

You are right. Hopefully human beings won't make the same mistake again. This is why Otto Frank published Anne's diary.

I have not seen the movie yet but have seen the book at our local library. Your description sounds interesting and might borrow the book to find out more about the real happenings.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

It is worth to read this book.

i do like movies based on reality. but i do not go out of the way to check on them. however when the opportunity arises i do go through other materials related to it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

I think the movie isn't enough to told me everything about the fact. So I check it via the net to learn more about it.


myLot reputation of 88/100. sunny68 (763)  3 years ago

movies do have a time limit and cannot do justice to the real event. but it does give you a fairly good idea of what happened.

As per your heading of the discussion, I really wonder that of all the movies that i have watched which are based on true stories, i have never checked even once that the particular movie is based on a true event or not. For me if i knew that i have heard the story or read it somewhere it's ok else the director's word that IT IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY is enough for me :). Moreover i don't feel that what i am seeing would be different if i investigate which can't be true in all cases i know


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

Usually the movie will tell you whether it is based on a true story or not at the beginning or at the end.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Abhii88 (117)   ranked 8,929 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

Obviously the movie says it, mostly or in all cases at the beginning only and in some cases at the end :)

We studied that story when I was in school. It was a sad story. I have seen movies before and researched the story. Sometimes it's interesting to read the real story because sometimes movies can play things up a bit.


myLot reputation of 96/100. youless (21435)   ranked 33 out of 10,799 in watching movies  3 years ago

Yeah, it is a sad story because finally they couldn't survive from it.
