Murders Among Us: The Simon Wiesenthal Story


This is an excellent movie about the selfless Simon Wiesenthal who has spent most of his entire adult life in the search of Nazi war criminals that they be brought to justice. It is well told and done in a manner to honor the victims of the holocaust. I have long admired Mr. Wiesenthal and was pleased that his story was told in a movie. Ben Kingsley, as always, distinguished himself in this role but it is entirely well-acted and produced. His story is an amazing one and I know you will feel your knowledge of this terrible era in world history has been enhanced by seeing this movie.

I have read your entry on the movie and strongly agree with you! I was also wondering if you might know what in the movie is true verses what is false. I am researching this topic and would welcome any insight or information you may have!! It would be VERY greatly appreciated, thank you!

I'm wondering how much was 'selfless' and how much was vengeance.

FROM J.C. SWITZERLAND.-- UNBELIEVABLE STORY, FANTASTIC DOCUMENTARY, SIR BEN KINGSLEY IS SO INCREDIBLE AS HE HAS THE ABILITY TO EVEN LOOK LIKE THE PERSON HE IS PORTRAYING ( WATCH GANDHI IF YOU REQUIRE MORE EVIDENCE ) IN MY OPINION THERE IS ONLY ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS FILM PARTICULARLY IN DVD,---- I CAN`T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!! I HAVE TRIED AMAZON, HMV, MOVIE MAIL, HBO, ( I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTORS ) TO NAME JUST A FEW,--- I HAVE EVEN TRIED THE WIESENTHAL CENTRE IN VIENNA & THE THEIR WEBSITE IN THE USA, ALL IN VAIN. THE CENTRE IN VIENNA WERE "VERY" COURTEOUS BUT EVEN THEY ONLY HAVE ONE COPY IN VHS. SO WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE,--- I HAVE`NT GOT A CLUE. I DO KNOW THAT THIS FILM WAS ORIGINALLY MADE FOR TV,-- PERHAPS THIS IS THE PROB. I SEE ON DIVERSE WEBSITES THE SAME EXCUSE: NOT AVAILABLE, OUT OF PRINT, NO LONGER AVAILABLE, NOT SURE WHEN THIS WILL BE BACK IN STOCK ETC. ETC. I CAN ONLY REPEAT,-- I WAS "VERY VERY" SURPRISED WHEN EVEN THE WIESENTHAL WEBSITE DOES`NT CARRY THIS FILM. WE CONTINUE TO HEAR & SEE THAT "THE HOLOCAUST MUST NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN"-- ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, BUT IN MY OPINION THIS IS "DEFINITELY" ONE FILM THAT SHOULD BE SEEN BY EVERYBODY,-- PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG & THOSE IDIOTS WHO STILL INSIST THAT THE HOLOCAUST WAS A FIGMENT OF JEWISH IMAGINATION.-- I DID MANAGE TO BUY A DVD FROM A DISTIBUTOR IN THS USA BUT IT WAS A VERY VERY POOR COPY FROM THE VHS, SO HOW ABOUT IT THE FILM INDUSTRY, FILM DISTRIBUTORS, FILM CRITICS, FILM MAGAZINES, ETC. ETC. HOW ABOUT GIVING THIS SITUATION A BLOODY GOOD KICK AND GET THIS WONDERFUL FILM IN DISTRIBUTION IN DVD.----- J.C. SWITZERLAND.
