Carl Laemmle

Carl is the smallest of 11 children in a Jewish German family who leaves Germany for the USA and goes on to found universal studios, establish Hollywood as the movie capital of the world, and rescue many family and friends from the rise of nazi-ism. The trailer intrigued me and the film didn't disappoint. It's rags to riches. It's about family, fighting bullies, about backing people. It's about backing yourself. I found it fascinating. You know what they say about the truth in Hollywood: don't let it get in the way of a good story. I can't say how sanitized this is. I hesitated to see it but I am glad I bought my ticket. It was definitely worth the admission.
