i cried towards the end at the line, "Sometimes we'd hear that lovely music."
but at the end of the film i felt like i should have been more emotionally affected than I was, i was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

If your sig has a Dark Knight quote in it, then I'm already sick of you.

Yep! Totally! It was a heart breaking moment...
shareI didn't cry and to be honest, it wasn't the kind of film that expects you to cry. It certainly moved me, especially when Burger was crying, but to me it was more of an interesting history lesson than a tearjerker.
shareIt's becoming harder and harder to cry or even feel moved when you see all this jew crap in WWII movies if you watch the news and see everyday how jews are murdering palestinian people with no regret whatsoever.
shareWow. Seriously. How horrible.
Two different groups of people, maybe?
Like blaming every white for American slavery?
Brilliant, obil-3.
Either obil-3 is too young too understand that concept or just a complete dumbass.
Either way, it's a very strange comment to make...

This comment is the epitome of ignorance. The narrower a man's mind, the broader his statements.
shareWhat a wonderful way to prove that you are an idiot.
shareI definitely cried also at the part toward the end when the other camp prisoners break down the wall and the man makes the comment "Sometimes we could hear the music"
The other part that made me tear up was the moment in which the man working in the counterfitting workshop had come across the passports of his children that had been sent for them to better forge copies. So sad.
Excellent film.
Oh, yes. Of course I cried. Was there anyone who didn't?
shareI didn't cry. I didn't even feel the need to cry.
This movie did little to me.
Although I did find the pard where Sorowitsch comes out the building, near the end of the movie, with the dead man in his hands asking a "zombie"-jew where he can lay the dead man to rest. (zombie-jew: obviously the man was exhausted by being in the camp for too long. just to get any misunderstanding out of the way).

Well, you've created a misunderstanding -- you found that part WHAT? You didn't say. How did it affect you?
And fwiw, in the camps, when a prisoner lost the will to live and was close to death, ravaged by starvation and abuse, but sometimes still on his feet, he was called a Musselman. However, the zombie Jew, as you call him, might not have been a Musselman -- he might have been in better shape than a Musselman. Anyway, I first heard this term in one of Elie Wiesel's books, so I imagine it was used in Auschwitz -- I don't know if it was used in other camps, but I think it was.
The movie didn't move me to cry. But then again, it's not fixed on the brutalization in concentration camps the way a Schindler's List did.
It was more focused on the discussion of what is right or wrong when it comes to survival, and of course, the story of the counterfeiting operation itself.
I ment the moment when Sorowitsch walks around with the dead man in his arms when he meets the musselman you talk about. It's like asking a dead man where to burry a dead man. I found that very touching. It's a little complicated explanation.

No, I think you got it. I think you expressed it beautifully.
I cried at the end. The bit that really set me off was the sight of Burger crying, even though earlier he couldn't cry over his wife's death. Really moving.
shareNo, I didn't cry. I laughed at some scenes (doctor pretending to shout at the prisoners, Nazi wife, Sally painting a Nazi family) but I feel sorry for them. There are sad scenes but not sad enough to make me cry.
shareNo, but it was a very moving film.When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
No, I did not cry. In my eyes it takes a real tear-jerker to get any tears flowing! A lot of that is due to the way that I was brought up in a 'boys don't cry' culture. But I also suspect that I did not shed a tear because I found that the Jewish people, in this movie, were treated a lot better by the Germans, than the majority of The Jews were in WWII concentration prisons. It's not like I was hoping for more violence, but the amount of violence present in the movie, played an unrealistically minor role.
