![]() ![]() ![]() It's a good movie, though some small details could have been made with more thought. ‘When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit’ Review: Judith Kerr’s Childhood Classic Gets Faithful, Tasteful Screen Treatment Oscar-winner Caroline Link's child's-eye saga of a Jewish refugee family fleeing. Anna has to leave everything behind, including her beloved pink rabbit. The humor is good, though you might need to speak some German to fully understand it. Anna is only nine years old when her family must flee from the Nazis. Meanwhile the characters which are not friends of the family are always portrayed with strange looks. In one scene in which the girl's mother complain about having a bad hair while her hair was clearly made to look pretty (she looks/is 20 years younger than her husband). They cared too much into making the "good" characters look pretty and the "evil" characters look bad. As an example, the girl cares throughout the whole movie about the lost rabbit, though she's never seen playing with such toys: they had to explain over and over the movie's title. They expect that the viewer might not catch everything that is going on, so they try to explain it with dialogue, which feels artificial sometimes. The script is well written, but they could have worked better on small details, such as dialogue/foreshadowing. The scenery is nicely made, nice shots in the alps, nice rooms. The movie shows, from the perspective of a child, the story of a jewish family fleeing in Europe looking for opportunity after escaping from Hitler. ![]()
