First, the most important part of the movie was the ending. This was when Wilberforce presents the Bill to the House of Commons. The scene seemed real and true! It was very nicely…

The movie of Anne Frank is an exaggeration for the sake of interest. The movie added things to enhance itself while the play stayed mostly true to Anne Frank’s story. Like most productions, the play and the movie were very different in accuracy, the limitations and the motives of the productions. Both the play and the movie lack accuracy when it comes to the true story of Anne Frank’s life. Both the movie and the play have a lack of accuracy. However the play is more accurate because it…

The boat driven by the dad and the son, for instance, picked up dozens of surviving soldiers from the water. I think that these scenes were very effective in demonstrating the desperation that characterized the need to evacuate the soldiers. Right after the audience saw the destruction of many ships, these civilian boat scenes followed, which helped…
