El campeón de Auschwitz

There was a sincere effort here to make a good Holocaust film, hurt by ham acting on the part of the actors playing the Nazis and the even more ham-handed dubbing with dull Western voices instead of the real voices and languages of the actors and the characters they played. Dubbing is just stupid and also offensive. If westerners can't bother to read subtitles, then don't watch the movie. Those of us who enjoy International films and series want the languages and cultures of these works, and don't want the bizarre effects of dubbing coming from their mouths: "Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." -"Parasite" Director, Bong Joon-Ho whose film won the Academy Award-with sub-titles.

I loved it, I didn't take my eyes of the screen for one second. It made a lot of people cry in the audience. A must watch.

Found this on a streaming site & decided to give it a go. Thank god I did. It's a "small" film that tells a big story set in Auschwitz. I was hooked from the opening scene and sat spellbound for 90 minutes. The acting, directing, cinematography, set design are all spot on. I went in thinking this is a fictional story set in a real place, but at the end it says the events of the film are true. IDK if they are or aren't or the exact details are true or not. What I know is this is a moving film, with a simple story set within the confines of a literal he** on Earth. Proof you can tell a great story in 90 minutes. If you're looking at it & wondering if you should watch it....don't think, clear your mind, stay away from social media and for an hour and a half you will be witness to a powerful film.

I have never heard of this story before if I did, it has been a long time. I watched this in honor of all those who lost their lives in Auschwitz Concentration Camp and the other concentration camps. I didn't realize that this movie takes place during the early days of Auschwitz. Everything from the acting, to cinematography excellent but I have one main problem, if I want to watch a foreign film I expect to hear the native language like Polish and German and use English subtitles. This is one moving and yet powerful movie, and it will make you tear up when you see families heading for their deaths. And, yet it will make you angry all at the same time. It did for me.

I don't care what anybody else says. This was an outstanding movie and I started crying at the end! Thank you! It was also so inspiring that it led me to write my very first review for a movie, so attaboy. If I were to critique the film's whole then all I would say is the fighting could've been a little more up to par, but other than that I honestly loved the movie. I'm here mostly as a fan that enjoyed the entirety of both how the main character tricked me because I didn't recognize who the actor was until I seen the credits and how he blended in with the storyline and environment! Outstanding work. Glad to be here!!!
