Not necessarily - there is an English language version
It won't be the same like that though
Absolutely brilliant movie
Be prepared to laugh and cry!!!
BUBBA, I absolutely loved it mate, a wonderful story, very touching and heart-warming. Be sure to have some Kleenex handy...
DEES RULE!

I've watched 3 versions of it:
Italian version with subtitles
English version
and Hebrew version :eek: (dont ask)
The Italian version was by far the best because it made the whole movie very authentic.
I thought it was a beautiful movie, and not your usual world war 2 type of film.
I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it so happy viewing! :)
I heard so much hype I was sceptical ...but it totaly won me over.
Good looking movie with good acting and you get involved.
The guy might act like a buffoon but he's a genius: writing, directing, even composing the music I think.

I saw it when it was on in the cinemas, and I hated it.
I thought it made far too light of the situation. I realise that was the point, but it just left me very sour.

well guys, i saw it last night and i reckon it was an absolute classic, it had the emotions going right through ....
DCFC, i see your point about it being lighthearted, but i think that just added to the drama, here was a man in a desperate situation, building a fantasy world for his son to help him get through the ordeal, i reckon it encaptured the horror of the concentration camps, left you angry at what happened but still managed to make you smile ..... a unique achivement ....
Anyway thanks foryour input guys,

Brilliant movie. I can't believe this guy has not done any other big films since this one....
It is one of my all time favourite movies.
I agree with DCFC that is somewhat 'sugarcoates' the issue of the Holocaust, but as someone else pointed out, it's not the point of the movie.
I can't think of the main actor's name, but he is just brilliant.

It's my favourite movie, not surprisingly.

Yeah, he is of the Quentin Tarantino school of film-making.

That's three at least. In fact that is three, but you know what I mean.
