Simply Perfect

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

How does a nazi officer convince the world.. maybe a woman he might meet and marry.. that he is Jewish?? I don't think so. Other than that. Amazing. twists and turns and 3 days later .. I am still thinking about it.

This movie reminded me the other one, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". Besides both stories were setting in Nazi area, there are not much in common. However, the originality and creativity of their unique storyline might put them into the same category. Nevertheless, I preferred this one better. "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" did not resonate with me in the same way as this one. The likelihood of this movie happened in real live might be possible. That intrigued me. The settings and scenarios are well though out. It is not much to be elaborated. But it would surprise audience with its ending. I am not so impressed by "The Boy in the Striped Pajama". The main reason is from the start you already could tell how it would end . The tragedies were well written every step away. I would not suggest parents to let young kids to watch it because of the cruel ending. It will terrify them. This one is better plotted to its ending. Although its ending might not be pleasant, it was logically unfolding.Watch it and you will not be disappointed.

It took me two attempt to finish the movie. The first time when I watch it, I stopped around 10 minutes. It is boring and depression to watch the first 1/3 of the movie. The movie starts to engaging your thinking when it reaches 1/2. My mind has been tripped into the movie and believe that story is about a men seeking vengeance for himself. But you never be able to believe what turns out to be.Think about this question: If a bad person can't remember his sin, is he still a bad?

Nothing short of just what I would expect from Atom Egoyan one of my favorites. One must be ready Engulf oneself into the story. Christopher Plummer is fantastic. And Martin Landau one cannot say enough And don't forget to look for the twist
