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!
拯救与自我拯救。有时候，明明我们自己很失败，却总认为自己牛B，自己的不成功是因为身边的猪队友。当你放下对自己以及对别人的苛责之后，你可能才会发现原来别人已经为你做了很多，原来自己才是那个混蛋。就影片而言，由于场景过于单一，故事情节又不足够吸引人，很容易产生审美疲劳，我才一点儿就弃片了。但男主的演技却值得称赞，几乎一人撑起整片的所有镜头。冲着男主的演技及本片对主要内涵，加1颗星
中半部开始掉，越往下看越减分。Considering the pandemic and wildfire was somewhat impressive... #TIFF 2021
盲猜是某部北欧电影的翻拍，希望能有新idea吧，而不是一味照抄
但故事还是没有讲好，警察的心里转变与故事的反转都显得太过突然。
JG一人撑下整个场面，如果不看原版，似乎可以称作震撼了。一番有惊无险的911 call，教会了我们不要先入为主，不要急于求成，也不要逃避自己的过错和责任。它是属于电影的思想实验，也是给我们每个人的警钟。
有《狙击电话亭》和《洛克》在前，这部片在人物刻画到表演，到剧情张力上都远远不如。

Broken people save broken people
以为是反转后再反转的悬疑犯罪人性片结果居然是让人摸不着任何头脑的自我救赎“伦理”片？导演倒是功力十足，让人在观看电影的过程中即使提前知道了评分还能把期待值拉满。可惜结尾仓促潦草，剧本太拉垮，而且我完全get不到男主转变的动机和他的转变与先前情节的关联😅
杰克已经很长时间没有出现在电影荧幕上了，最近发现这部翻拍片《the guilty》后完全是带着迫不及待的心情去看的，完全没有让我失望。该片的心理特质与充满迷惑性的独角文戏剧本难免会让人想到当初的《活埋》，《刹车》与《洛克》。老吉的表演实在是无比到位，印象中应该是继《夜行者》之后的最强飙戏了，当然也可以说是原剧本给了演员宽泛的发挥力度。老吉现在真的就差接点大导作品了，如此敬业与演技派的老吉还没拿过小金人真的有些说不过去。
很美式的翻拍，好的部分还原作的形式感和剧情，却少了原作克制的质感带来的感染力，仿佛一道素三丝的功夫菜给整成海鲜麻辣烫了，添加的警察暴力议题也比较游离，不太成功。
喜欢这种就靠剧情取胜的小成本制作，罪人的自我救赎，各种电话里的演员演技就要秒杀国内众多了，有点诧异评分太低，搜了一下果然是翻拍，不过没看过原版，所以没有很挑剔，自己喜欢就行了
剧照做的样子有点悬疑惊悚。但是完全close shot Jake Gyllenhall的脸也撑不起太多的细节。是一个挑战很大的片子，演技很好。作品也比较完整，broke ppl save broke ppl.
吉伦哈尔演的很好，整整90分钟的独角戏。但是这片实在是无聊，一个神经病接线员接了一个神经病的电话导致了一场90分钟的神经病电影。
3.5星，小成本到极致，全靠演技撑全场，挺好的，剧情过程太长了。
没有看过丹麦原版…就仅针对看了的美版来说，还是蛮有触动的点的，比如开头的字幕“真相使你自由”，比如末段同事的那句“broken people saved broken people”，男主的演技没话说，撑起了整部电影，但影片也确实为塑造男主的形象设定了太多背景和辅助场景，比如大火衬托了在案件一开始时的警力资源紧张，男主凭一人之力力挽狂澜，哮喘在通话过程中制造了紧张氛围以及让看客对我们的男主产生同情，和前妻同事的穿插通话慢慢丰满男主个人的过失案件，为后面女子身份的反转和通话双方的互相救赎做铺垫。男主最终坦然面对和承认控罪，也算意料之中合乎情理了…
Netflix 整天给我推荐些烂片却不给我推荐这个，是不是对我有什么误解。
Jake Gyllenhaal 演技是真的好 非常好
能拍这样的电影都是很不错的，不可能“好看”，不可能“卖座”，但也拍出来了。
还好，其实并不太算是悬疑片。几乎全部场景都是主角在呼叫中心的独角戏，靠对白和表演撑起全部内容，看上去很低成本的样子，这一点还是很厉害的。
