You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
分太低 很投入的看完 部分BUG不影响观感
那些说变来变去的人，你们这智商还是滚出电影院
不看到最后，你都不会知道一开始到底发生了什么
Jamie好勇敢，当然也因为有着妈妈和朋友的支持、希望爸爸可以为自己骄傲的期待，才可以肆无忌惮去做自己，毕业舞会的白裙真的好美，他有点神似xz，欺负他的同学有点wyb的影子…哈哈哈差点出戏
这个剧作本就非常一般，音乐剧版的成功很大程度上倚赖于舞台冲击力和John McCrea。影版其实没什么做错了的地方，甚至把Loco Chanel 那首歌改成This was me我更喜欢更感动。但小男主的方方面面就是差一点，就是力度不够，可爱有余，气场不足。而我永远忘不了曾经看John一眼就被夺走呼吸念念不忘几年的感觉。
很一般的影片还是平权、价值观、认同那一套没有新意，对于这种事情在我看来就是“关我屁事”和“关你屁事”的区别。歌也不是朗朗上口，唯一惊艳的一场戏是“艺术品就是我”，如果不是英奥提名了我可能都看不到这部影片。
以为是个正派主角和反派boss斗智斗勇的故事，结果搞最后是个爱情片？如果选择不同配角来完全诠释主角应该会更出彩，搞面部切换真的是拉低了层次，不过也算更好地照顾到了受众面吧
在月球上看的，当时看完，差点嗨到忘了呼吸。
Everybody's talking about Jamie.
中间两场大打戏真不错，概念挺有意思，但是人物挖掘的不够
其中最让人感动的，自然就是杰米的妈妈。她从来都在背后支持着杰米，作为一个单亲母亲，全力的支持着儿子的梦想，她一个如此令人敬佩的母亲形象。妈妈永远都是杰米最忠实的粉丝。
目前分数对于这样的影片明显是不公平的，大家似乎被大量烂片麻木了，起码人家敢想敢拍还能拍~~不要因为豆瓣评分和名字而遗漏的影片~~3星再奖励一星~~
没看惯歌舞剧。爱s妈妈和导师了。导师部分真的超级slay！！！
韩片已经将故事挖到了很深的地步，圆回来怕有难度了
中间两场大打戏真不错，概念挺有意思，但是人物挖掘的不够
It resonates with me so much. Feeling like this day and age's Billy Elliot. Message sent out over the fairytale-like story and cliché drama conflicts.
题材很好，前半部分靠着挺有意思的，后半部分就进入众人救一女的模式，很血腥，我不喜欢，勉强看到结尾，应该是大团圆，逻辑上有点问题，不重要了，感官刺激下就ok了！
“为什么所有的人都想要救你？”“不是所有人，全都是一个人。”

故事的设计还是挺有想法的，但是手法就有点跟不上，不过最后的打斗有几分“大叔”的风格，短兵相接，刀刀见血，还是值得一看。
