Anne Frank Remembered Reviews
The ghost of Anne Frank
When I first visited the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam, Holland, or rather, the claustrophobic apartment in which the tennage Anne Frank and her family were cooped up for two years while seeking refuge from the Nazis, I experienced an immediate and overwhelming sense of sadness, pain, and longing. A similiar sensation overcame me when I saw this neccessary though not entirely satisfying film about her life, and indeed, does so whenever the subject of Anne Frank is broached.
But then, why shouldn't it? For, though it may seem self-evident, the story of Anne Frank is without doubt one of the most tragic of the twentieth-century. Here, after all, was a young person, bright, gifted and energetic, literally bursting at the seams with promise and potential, a person whose life was cut tragically short by forces beyond her control. Her death was, in every possible sense of the word, senseless. Her murder, and by extension that of roughly six million equally innocent lives, constitute an inestimable loss.
Anne Frank is gone.
She should not be.
This must never happen again.
We must never forget Anne Frank.
But then, who can?
Her spirit haunts us:
Her ghost is everywhere, and always will be.
- M.R.
an adequate but distracted tribute
at very nearly two hours in length, it is far too long and goes off on too many tangents covering things weve seen before, but when it concentrates on its eponymous subject, it works very well.
