You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
最感动的地方是男女主分别和自己的爱人相遇，一见钟情的时候。竟然可以在几个镜头之间把喜欢、试探、撩拨、确认关系都讲清楚，让人觉得爱情就是自然而纯粹的。
男同、女同、形婚、出柜、领养，印度片真的很敢拍。
当时代在进步，我们止步不前都在噤声不语，比后退还要让人窒息，谁才是压抑的民族呢
印度电影的豆瓣分是有多少信仰加成，整天都是比中国烂这么多的国家拍出了我们拍不出的东西，然后就打个高分，能不能来点统一单位参照物？
真好看哟！不管什么题材都可以来一段绚丽歌舞，哈哈哈哈哈😄
片子的核心在于，两个主人公不同的成长环境步入婚姻是的矛盾碰撞。片子展示了很多潮汕的风俗元素，拜老爷，唱戏，人情味浓厚等等。男主的妈妈从不接受女主是外地人（沟通问题）+离异人（当地风俗加面子问题）到慢慢接受女主，女主为了讨好婆婆也学习了潮汕话，最后婆婆为了接纳女主也学习了普通话。故事线比较简单明了，拍摄成本低，剧情通俗。
拍得很淳朴，又真实。不过终归是电影，激烈冲突也用生活化细节淡化了，整个片子挺温情的。中国的地方风俗文化还是需要我们自己来拍才对味。妈妈这个演员选得挺好。
赚了我好多眼泪😭😭😭，最后冒出个恶趣味的念头是，如果她小儿子是同性恋，有这么个儿媳妇了，妈妈估计都要高兴死了😂😂😂
结局很好，剧中有一句话很好，他们也是人，是上帝让他们变成这样的，都是爱人。
剧情、情感渲染都非常到位，最后同志游行那段高潮简直满分💯
这样真诚的地方片，叙事也自然流畅，值得鼓励，评分和我预期很吻合，我也觉得是7.5。
故事并不新颖，父母与子女新旧观念的碰撞，影片中展示的潮汕文化独具一格，演员演绎在线，部分情节上掉线，没有代入感。
尤其最后妈妈突然转变，雨过天晴的过程有点突兀，为了HE而HE 转弯有点太快。原本妈妈的转变也是一个很适合影片发挥表现的方面。
这部电影很多地方会让潮汕人和接触过潮汕家庭的人会心一笑——在外拼搏的潮汕人一旦用方言对上号就是自己人，什么事都好说；非广东人统称为“外省”；老爷保号让我抱个男孙；潮汕传统妇女为家庭操劳一辈子，孝顺公婆伺候丈夫子女简直是刻在基因里的使命；时刻都在忙拜神，你不好说这是封建愚昧还是有信仰和虔诚。潮汕因为故步自封本地经济很差，但是在外的潮汕人够团结反而很容易成功，有说法潮汕人拜的神多所以台风天灾都绕着走，潮汕夫妻关系和睦全国离婚率最低…这些都不是刻板印象，这些依然是现状。这片说着外人轻易学不去方言的神奇土地，让无论是在那里还是离开了那里的人，都染上一种病，这病像男主对他妈的感情一样，既想抗争独立，却最终还是自觉回到她的身边，贴上属于她的标签。可能，圈子和身份认同真的让人欲罢不能。PS.妈妈演得真好。
影片讲述了很多潮汕地区的风土人情，在祭祀风俗上的方方面面，其实是有起到宣传当地文化习俗的作用，潮汕地区给我们的印象也不再是之前那么死板。在这个充满人情味的地方，里面的人也在不断地适应迅速发展的社会，不会固步自封。
“这个大家族给了我很多的爱，但我还是会时常感到孤独。”深深地共情了……电影中间有点无聊，但还是一部能让我留出眼泪来的好电影。苏米被爸爸接回家的那段，我觉得爸爸心里有两种情感在搏斗，一种是不理解、接受不了，另一种是替女儿感到难过，难过这么多年她一个人在坚持着。后者战胜了前者，不然怎么会那么难过的讲出“为什么偏偏是我的女儿”。值得一看的电影。
以为导演要拍弯变直，多虑了，印度敢拍，就是我老分不清01。
我为上海没有多排片而哭泣，从头到尾都很喜欢
连印度都这么前卫了吗？我们呢？就不说和日韩相比了，和印度啊，和种姓制度奴役下的印度啊。
以前是五十步笑百步，现在人家已经加速跑了，而再看看这边......
