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!
没想到讲政治的片子结尾可以这么温暖。
柏拉图：“为了正义，任何手段都可以考虑”。
比南山的部长们差太多了 韩国正在大选，这样的电影却不被禁 伪民主比不民主强多了
胜者即是正义？为了胜利不择手段，还是为了某些更高的价值而选择坚守原则？残酷的斗争也许容不下理想者，但改变这个世界则实实在在地需要他们。阴影为什么永远是阴影，是因为他缺少灵魂。
不过就如影子一样 越耀眼的地方影子就越渺小 但就像人不能没有影子一样 好总统不能没有自己的好军师
开展五分之四的剧情后，整部电影急转直下，估计不知道怎么编了。光是前面的五分之四也已够了。
确实很厉害的电影，如果硬要说有缺陷，那可能一是感觉用的手段格局太小，二是主角最后又当又立让人十分不爽，还不如彻底黑化或者多描写一些去这么做的无奈
当然可以把他替换为任何朝代，任何组织，任何两派斗法的传统故事中去，但总觉得这样就相当于表明我们这个世界没有任何进步，就还是谁赢谁牛逼。嘲笑理想和接受理想终为虚幻还是有区别的吧

稍微拖沓了点，不够紧张紧凑。其它不错。这是个好的左派电影，比好莱坞的弱智白左好太多。
很喜欢候选人坚守正义到最后。“一个政客乱扔垃圾的国家就是厕所。”“把野心放在正直的前面只会一事无成。”以及，影子对候选人的感情，真的不是爱嘛？
性格三觀不同的人，無論再怎麼為了同一個目的湊在一起，遲早還是得分道揚鑣。政治即是全數權謀操縱，談公民人民都太虛無飄渺虛妄；帶風向割韭菜才是王道。真的。
其实探讨了一个很好的议题：正义是谁的正义？

假装的理想主义者和真正的务实主义者，没想到务实者也有天真的时候 选举是可以操纵的 独裁统治下竟然还有言论自由 故事太平淡了，感觉造王者也就是只会刷点脏手段而已

冲突比较温和，不如《南山的部长们》过瘾。
做政治还是得有一点手段才行，不是光有理想就行，不是自己觉得自己带给人民的政策是好的就行。因为竞争对手不会也公平的和你竞争。
韩国的政治片真是独具一格，非常有味道。扣掉一星是因为片中金大中的理念太理想化了，最后当选的结局似乎有那么一点迎合政治正确的味道，相比之下我还是更喜欢南山的部长们。本身这个影子是举正义大旗者抽离出的阴暗面的故事足够拿五星的。
“光线越强，阴影就越暗。但我喜欢在灯光下看到你。” “我所有关于正义的想法，被我亲手打倒了。” 薛景求又可以预定今年百想影帝了。
