You guys were right.


It's as bad as you said it was. This movie was worse than Danielle Steele movies that play on Lifetime.

Things that made this movie bad:
1. Rachel and Oscar pretty much had sex without even having a full on conversation! I could understand if they got to know each other and then they chose to have sex (although very quickly), but it was like they took a looked at each other and that was enough.
2. Rachel and Bernando socializing with Germans that knew they were Jewish (the guy said "Jew Baby" or something like that before he killed the baby. Bernard was able to get a job, food, shelter, and housing openly as a Jew. Rachel was able to be a show girl and prostitute even though she was a Jew as well. Now if there was a scene that showed them with forged passports or something I could almost buy it for fiction, but obviously they couldn't because they knew that her baby was Jewish.
3. The acting wasn't that terrible, but most of the accents were bad. I liked when the Anglo accent would come back while they would talking to each other in German.
4. The timeline. Rachel and Oscar had sex and spent almost a full day together (I am not counting when she was sick and half dead), and didn't see each other for over 9 months and they based their relationship off of just sex it seemed.
