ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Robin Williams is a widowed Jew in 1945 Poland who
befriends a young runaway girl and fabricates stories about the war to offer hope for his
fellow prisoners. Also with Alan Arkin, Bob Balaban, Hannah Taylor-Gordon, Michael Jeter,
Armin Mueller-Stahl, Liev Schreiber, Nina Siemaszko and Mathieu Kassovitz. [1:54]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A woman and man kiss in bed and a man and woman get out of
bed (both times the woman is wearing a slip.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A main character is shot at point-blank range and we see
the fallen corpse in a bloody shirt. We see four people hanging from nooses (no blood is
visible); also, a man hangs himself (we don't actually see him do it, but we see him
getting ready to wrap the noose around his neck and then later we see a close-up of his
dangling corpse). A man drinks poison and kills himself. We hear many gunshots and
it's implied people are being shot but we don't see anyone die; some threatening
with guns. Men are punched, kicked and beaten with clubs; a man is punched and beaten and
we see his bruised and bloody face. A man is tortured by repeatedly having his head dunked
in water.
PROFANITY 2 - A few anatomical references, mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The Holocaust, concentration camps, honesty vs. lying, hope,
war, relationships.
MESSAGE - Sacrifice yourself for the good of others.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
