Saviors in the Night2009

A very powerful story showing how lives were saved by the amazing courage of humans living in dark times.

This film truly surprised me both in it's genuine approach to a true tale of heroic human reliance and it's little known actors who made such a wonderful story come to life in such a realistic and emotional way. So meaningful and uplifting! Take time for this one.

An absolute treasure, filmmaking at it's very highest level. There have been so many films relating to WWII, told from so many perspectives, there far to numerous to discuss. However, this film, give a completely new, refreshing take on the war, offering a completely new perspective, and the result is an absolute masterpiece, in every sense of the word. The story is based on German Jew who fought and received an iron cross for his efforts in WWI, however, in WWII, he is now being hunted as a Jew. What transpires is truly one of the most heartfelt, beautiful, life affirming films I've seen since "Cinema Paradiso", I loved this film. Why it was not recognized by the academy, I'm sure the reasons are far to complicated to even wonder, however, I felt this film was the finest film I've seen in many years, a treasure to all.

Amazing!

5 Stars

excellent touching.

Loved the movie! Very rare view of the relationships between Jewish people and a small segment of German population that actually chose to be really brave and humane and help their fellow German citizens to survive the horrific period for the whole world. Great acting and storytelling.

German Catholic farmers preserve the lives of their Jewish brothers and sisters during WWII, and as they live together, misunderstands decrease, as they gain common understanding.

Wonderful story of conflict and survival, great acting. Realistically tells the story without being gratuitously violent. The song playing when Anni dances is sung by Max Raabe, a German singer who has recorded a number of albums of 20's and 30's music with his orchestra. I recommend looking him up as well!

GOOD JOB.

A very good film about the holocaust and conflicted farmers becoming heroes.

Yes, it was a very good movie about bravery during WWII and will help to increase he knowledge that not all Germans were Nazis and horrible people.

This is an important story that is relevant today, as we see Darfur , Serbia, and

other countries committing the same genocide. It is relevant to our lives to think about what we would do in the same situation in our own country.

Such a moving story and to know that people like this took such courageous risks for strangers and yet they became life long friends.

It is impossible to use the word "enjoyed" this film. But I can say that this was a good film, well made and that I did not know that in Germany there were actually german farmers who actually helped save a few Jews. That in itself is a miracle.

There is kindness in Man's heart. This is the quality that will endure in the New

World. (Matthew 5:5)

So inspiring.

I love the subject, I want to love the film, but I feel like I have seen it before. type casting? Hackneyed film+o+graphy? It just felt tedious more than revelatory.

Please read all the positive reviews. It is heartening to hear such appreciation for a message of hope for our still very troubled world.
