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!
比较慢热的历史题材，流程式铺垫，除了箭在弦上临场感的营造上不平衡，其他的虚实历史表现角度方面都算合格。

很特别的视角。以前确实对慕尼黑协定这段了解不是很多，加之当下的政治局势，对二战似乎又有了更多的理解。荞麦一如既往，好会挑剧本啊，太适合他了。
一个新视角下的张伯伦和希特勒。以往看到的内容大多总带着结果去看过程，上帝视角下都是成者王侯败者寇，但要理解到政客一定也是精算了当其时每一项抉择的沉默成本和机会成本
很能抽动神经，有点窒息。这次有点给张伯伦洗白的嫌疑。但，更像我们今天的另一个预言，看看这几天的乌克兰局势或者过几天的“战事”吧！另一个希特勒已经诞生......
Hoping is waiting for someone else to do it
彼时彼刻恰似此时此刻。两个年轻男主的人物设置比较吸睛，多给一星。
合格分的二战爆米花，就是最后的字幕太屎了，绥靖和战胜纳粹都快吹成因果关系了，减1星。
绥靖主义，很小就学到的这一词汇，现在才知道这就等同于“要和平不要战争”
不要再塑造一个又一个千篇一律的妻子角色了，真的。
1/5，这谍战拍的是来搞笑的吗？什么叫做毫无紧张感；这片子拍出来是为了洗白张伯伦吗？德国反对派那条线拍的真是有够烂～～～
我觉得还行。可以对那段历史有个大概的了解。看过很多这种类型的，国外拍这种电影真的是很有一套。
“我们不抱希望反而会更好。”
电影里有挺多呼应，比如片中插曲和片尾曲是同一首歌的德语和英语版，片尾又闪回了开头三人组牛津毕业时意气风发的样子，彼时他们分享同一支烟。而现在莉娜卧床不醒，背上是纳粹烙的六芒星，两人在病房门前沉默地抽最后一支烟。休最后被保罗改变了：“希望是等待别人行动，有时不抱希望更好。”他把保罗的观念传达给了妻子，自己辞职投身战场；保罗冒着被绞死的风险继续抗争。分道扬镳的挚友在二战前短暂地再次交汇，然后永别。
所以真正的邪恶不是人本身，而是权力本身，无论是任何人，在拥有了最大化的权利之后，都会让心中小小的恶念膨胀起来。
7.5/10.
虽然明明知道结局，但是还是有被过程紧张到。如果不阻止他犯罪，等他犯罪的时候再阻止就太晚。如果成功阻止他犯罪，那又如何证明他原本会犯罪。这真是悖论。其实想一想，就跟因为有人有犯罪的倾向就提前把他抓起来或者提前杀掉是一个道理。
已现世视角来看有一种无法阻挡的悲剧感，但仍旧抱有愿景奋不顾身的年轻人可能是永远会感动的点。乔麦演得蛮好，小哥俩还是挺有化学反应的
我觉得还行。可以对那段历史有个大概的了解。看过很多这种类型的，国外拍这种电影真的是很有一套。
平庸，绥靖政策和年轻人的争取，回过头来看年轻人是对的，拍的却显得张伯伦赢了。一切都不现实，行为表现的太显眼，一看就露馅，外交会议如此乱走也是不可能的。张伯伦情报来源如此薄弱就补签协议，小外交官接近希特勒竟然不用搜身？
