Geo3 F @RT82897544 06/30/2023 I think this film is fantastic and one of the few films that I have watched that do not come in English so I relied on subtitles. The lead characters deliver great performances that drove the film's suspense and storyline. What I like about the film is the ending audios speeches of modern politicians which add a sense of importance to the film and makes you think that what happened years ago could happen again.

This true story about two prisoners who escaped the Auschwitz concentration camp to report the atrocities and deaths of people at that camp was dramatic, intense, and tragic. It's about doing what's right to make sure that people are held accountable for their actions and to protect innocent people from getting murdered. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. See more 09/07/2022 It was a wonderfully powerful movie. I have personally visited Dachau but haven’t yet visited Auschwitz. I noticed while at Dachau, that every single conversation I heard while walking through the camp was in English. I didn’t hear a single person speaking German, which was the exact opposite experience when traveling anywhere else in the Munich metro area. I assume from this that very few German citizens visit Dachau unless they are forced to do so for some reason. This is a lesson that the world can not learn too thoroughly. Holocaust movies should continue to be made for at least the next 200 years. However, I was very disappointed to see the strong Holocaust message of this powerful movie then watered down during the credits at the end of the movie by hearing the voices of proponents of border security presented as if border security is similar to genocide. It’s not. Every partisan divide shouldn’t be likened to the Holocaust. The producers of the movie built up tremendous capital by presenting this powerful and excellent movie based on actual events and then wasted much of that capital on petty partisan grievances at the end. Seriously? See more Brian D @Brianwd 06/08/2022 83%. 6/8/22. Very interesting film - showing the men and their peers in Auschwitz's, them hiding out while the SS officers are looking for them and torturing the people in their Braque?, then their escape, rescue and recounting of the events that took place. Crazy how they'd have prisoners write letters to their families, kill them, then send them out and future date them. The Red Cross was sending aid that the prisoners never saw. No one had any idea the severity of what was going on in the camps. All seesms quite realistic. Truly moving film. Worth a rewatch See more daniel n @Daniel1 05/22/2022 Not an easy watch, but this powerful drama very well displays one of the darkest pages in human story. See more 09/28/2021 Instead of blowing up Auschwitz, it blew hot air. I was confused by "The Report". I didn't really enjoy this movie much as it made the point of "obliterating" an internment camp "to smithereens". While the speaker led into the movie that "every day felt like 100 years", the "Day 1 through 11" should've been shorted down to a day or two in efforts to make this movie more tense and believable; I can't really say that a couple of men would survive in a makeshift foxhole without defecating or fighting for food or personality conflicts about destroying the camp, let alone trying to dig their way out sideways in efforts to escape being trapped under more wood. Others, should've tried feeding them while in the foxhole, but it seemed they didn't care for their own men. In the end when they finally met the Red Cross, while 'heroic' is they were trying to appear to be, them begging for the destruction of everyone was pretty genocidal. Seeing a fellow Slovak lady shot in the head because someone from a different barrack wasn't cooperating was ironically a 'buzz-kill' for a Czechoslovakian like myself. The way they simply gave up looking for the missing two and slowly carried the film made it dull at this point. The general had more character development because of the loss of his son and thus ailing wife; as they didn't want to be part of this war or apart. In all, the prisoners of war never revolted, as they kept bragging on about, selfishly leading up to their friend being solely shot when attacking the general. During the questionnaire, I had asked if damaging the supply routes the Red Cross had, would've doomed the internment camp into starvation, and was told "No.", which was the whole point of why the Red Cross was interviewing the two, to see if the supplies ever made it, to which they denied. It doesn't seem much thought was placed into the film to try and make the general a bad person, rather than a prisoner of his own internal war. While I've seen all the Hogan's Heroes episodes, this movie is a far cry from making much sense. I wish we had more time for questions at the end, as others wished to speak. I was going to finally view the rest of the museum this past weekend, but my friend was told not to let me return by disgruntled security. Weird, since I was overly polite and respectful. It was mentioned they would not exempt my medical condition, again. Ouch for second chances. See more Read all reviews
