Most ironic lines from the movie


Feel free to add anymore.

"I'm starving." - Anne as she and her family are walking to the Goslars for dinner.

"I have fewer patients now but no matter. There will always be Jewish cavities to be filled." - Mr. Pfeffer at the beach before a war that killed more than 75% of Holland's Jewish population.

"Please, help me." - A ragged clothed Hannah to Anne during the dream she had in the Secret Annexe.

"I hate them! I wish all the Germans were dead!" - Anne to her father who was born and raised in Germany and once fought for the German army.

"So religious!" - A mocking Anne to Hannah after she said she will be going to shul. Anne's faith in God would later become one of the central themes of her dairy.

reply

"Better to stay together, hope for the best." - Otto to Miep. Later in the movie staying together fails and Otto's wife and children die.

That's all I've got.

--Maddie Marie
Never be ashamed of being Christian.

reply

"After the war, I'm going to live." -- Anne

"It's only a diary, after all. A childish pastime." -- Pfeffer, to Anne

Otto: My sister begged me to send the children to London to live with her.
Miep: And will you?
Otto: How can I keep them safe there? No, I think it's better if we stay together and hope for the best.

Pim, I saw her. Hannah. It was so awful, the way she looked at me. I was so mean to her sometimes and now there's nothing I can do to help her.- Anne after her dream about Hannah.

^The second one is pretty good but I don't get why the first one is ironic?

reply

Because her frailness is nothing compared to how she's gonna look once she's at the camps.

reply

Two more for the road:

"But why didn't you register as a veteran? You would have been sent to Theresienstadt. You would have been treated decently." - Sgt Silberbauer to Otto Frank. Incidentally Theresienstadt's survival rate for Jewish prioners was 30%.

"You're so lucky." - Hannah to Anne as she looks over the new red shoes she got for her 13th birthday which she later has to abandon less than a month later just before her family goes into hiding.

Charlotte, when Fritz kisses her on the beach:
"Mr. Pfeffer, not until we're married!"

Fritz Pfeffer later died and Charlotte married him posthumously in 1953, when he wouldn't have been able to do much kissing.

reply

It's been listed, but: After the war I'm going to live.

"Our families are together, that's enough."
- Otto Frank to Edith, obviously they are to be seperated. Any of Otto's "together" lines are sadly frightening.

"I'm a very delicate creature, Mr. Frank... very delicate"
- Mrs. Van Pels to Otto, she will eventually have to fight for her food in the mud in the camps... not so delicate, anymore.

"A week, perhaps a month or two."
- Otto to Anne about how long they will be in hiding (what I find odd is why Otto tells Anne that Jacqueline "must never know." If they will be only hiding for a few months, surely she will be able to afterward).

"Maybe they bombed the tracks - that's possible isn't it, Mr. Frank?"
- Of course, the Allies had the opportunity to do so, but neglected to.

"Just think, if it weren't for the Germans, we wouldn't have met."
- Anne or Jacqueline, it was hard to tell, and I don't even think an explanation is necessary.

Although I can't produce an exact quote, the creepiest lines come from Miep cheerfully talking to Anne about when her parents took her to a station and put her on a train. Anne and her family would also be on a train but with very different results.

Speaking about your quote from the movie and comment about Mrs. Pels, I wonder who it was who stole the food that Hannah gave to Anne. It looked like Mrs. Pels to me, but when I read the plot of this movie on Wikipedia, it didn't say that it was Mrs. Pels. Of course, that scene was dark, so it was hard to tell whether it was Mrs. Pels or not, but the shape of her face and the way her body looked made me suspect that it was her.

(Said by Anne in reference to Peter) "He's such a dope." - Little did she know how much she would grow to love him for a time whilst in hiding.

Mrs. van Pels: [After being forced to give up her furs] You see what it's come you? How will I face people after the war?
Little does she know how much lower she would stoop to in the camps, and have to fight for her own food.

Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.

There's one line from Mrs. Frank that makes me wonder if irony is intended; "I'm going to take off the red patches - wherever we're going, we're not going as common criminals."

But, didn't "common criminals" actually have an easier time moving up in the ranks of the camps by displaying those patches? I wonder if Mrs. Frank had kept the patch on if she would have had a better chance of survival.
