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!
剧情真的很拖沓，动不动就慢镜头。。。讲的点太多，倒是反转很无聊，不如拍连续剧吧。只能说三星的一星给题材吧
做到如此只手遮天的地步，这个结局只会让所有人显得更加渺小。
ps看过的第一部没有传统歌舞的印度电影
依然是淡淡的奇幻小清新，然而对于这一部剧场版而言，片尾曲才是全剧最佳。
超级赞！这么尖锐的社会问题竟然也敢拍，也敢上映，真的绝了。最喜欢的是法庭对决时的各种举证和质问，但总觉着有点外行看热闹的感觉，有些问题我都觉着不该那么答的。剧情反转再反转，看的特爽
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
2、提问的人被戴上了镣铐，指责的人也被戴上了镣铐，说谁呢这是！😅😅
总体还是挺不错的，后半段还挺紧张的，但是前面真的剧情节奏有些慢。
突然觉得 很无奈
前半部分太缓慢，一度想放弃了都，后面节奏快多了。
没想到反转之后还有反转，立意很好，反应了印度的种姓制度，女性地位，学术滥用，当然，最重要的还有政治。敢拍，敢发声，敢质疑制度就是很好的进步，很好很好。
一开始以为又是一部女权，看到后面才知道升级到了对愚民政治的嘲讽，不过关键转折还是要靠副督察良心发现才能完成，实际可能性很低，看来任何体质都是一样黑暗的，学生永远都是最有革命热情，也最容易被鼓动的群体。
现实主义题材力作，直面多种印度社会问题，主角律师在法庭上的发言振聋发聩！虽然最终变成了复仇主题，但是瑕不掩瑜，这仍旧是一部非常有感染力的好电影！
希望印度以后再也没有这种现实题材可以参考。
题材非常的敏感，警察、政治、网络、暴动、女性、教育等，啥都沾一些，可以说是非常地胆大包天了。不过，也正是这种啥都要的取舍，导致影片最后几分钟才简述式地圆了事情原委，就是为了复仇嘛(却把自我权利觉醒摆上街头)。法官毫无理由的出现与先知，太过于主角加成了。然后警官的堕落与自我觉醒，演技不够，也太过生硬。
讲述了一个现实，当人们被情绪裹挟，失去理智的思考。
太精彩了，今年四大电影节这部电影没获奖，我TM绝对不认可。
公众的情绪那么容易被操纵吗？易如反掌。
Jana Gana Mana-人民的意志-印度国歌，译为宿敌意味减半，原意恰到好处，人民的意志被政客玩弄股掌之间，主导社会舆论，引导人民情绪，自以为伸张所谓的正义，终究难逃棋子的命运，影片将印度种姓制度以及引发的性别、党争、司法、暴力、犯罪、教育等一系列衍生痼疾作为内核，再披上悬疑的外衣，通过设置特殊人物、多重反转达成，节奏和叙述则掌控不足，缝合拼凑感明显。
What goes around comes around.
