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!
cliche又怎么样呢，文学nerd不能站起来吗！！！呃，我觉得现在的语境反而扼杀了很多本质主义的东西，或许也是多元化导致的？似乎两者总有一些冲突。不同和相同总是矛盾和统一的综合体……
一开始还挺真实，越往后越狗血，最后竟然成了一部狗血心情鸡汤般的温馨爱情合家欢。。。浪费了这个背景，也让这个题材变得相当低龄化了。
有一两段cut还挺可爱
荒凉极地，无望的等待精神的崩塌日渐侵蚀内心，生存与孤独是荒野永恒的考验
不是很客观的五星，实在是本人真的太喜欢看gay drama了。讨论gay community 中感情与肉体的归宿，以及gay小团体带给大家的力量，美好的假日男友 就如此沉浸吧
That‘s how you do a romantic gay comedy！不乏对群体内部鄙视链的探讨，也没有套一个yxl浪漫喜剧模版，肉色横飞的同时，够好笑，抽风的剪辑特色，整体轻松的氛围，最后够愚蠢够狗血的示爱却让人忍不住流下几滴热泪，a good job

众人皆醉你独醒…或许只是一个人的矫情，众人皆醒你独醉…或许是一个人的荒唐，醉和醒或许只是黄粱一梦，白驹过隙是的淡淡潜影
偶尔好笑一丢丢 剧情挺拉垮 只有两个渣男长得还可以，Oliver也没啥发挥…多一颗星给Dex。
虽然剪辑和剧透很一般。但是带入howie就是我本人真实写照了 现实的部分就是真实的 但是电影浪漫美好的几乎也不可能真正实现吧 愿姐妹们都能幸福 我也可以
i just dont understand
多一星给asian representation
这大概是最精彩的地方，影院三号厅被整个基佬霸场了，大家都当作盛世出席：和电影里一样，影院里坐着全是像“火烧岛”上的那种肌肉基佬，有穿裙子的、有穿皮裤的，还有个背了翅膀的小天使来了，当然，放映当晚，这个独立影院的男厕所里也很精彩。
难得看到亚裔还是LGBT在欧美环境下主演，充斥着欧美对于亚裔群里的刻板加歧视实属不易，亚洲人一直处于性吸引的最底层更别说亚洲的LGBT了本来就被直人踩一脚属实是底层中的底层，从心出发也不过是美好愿景，我们又能改变什么呢？
典同专属？？？就很boring～通讯录的vacation和emo梗依旧这么扁平化吗？btw典同派对的音乐一如既往的烂～
剧情什么的不重要，但是看一群帅哥调情真的很解渴。
为什么不直接拍成纪录片呢，这种史实改编但内容不够戏剧元素不足的，拍成剧情，既没有惊险刺激，也很难充分还原，会显得很假，特别是还要走意识流各种幻觉梦境穿插，不仅拖沓还很无聊。Nikolaj是个好演员，完全没有了Jaime的影子，北极熊的CGI做得好差，两场戏都非常出戏
可供记忆的点很少, Will这个角色还不错，Zane太hot了...
想起了玩冰汽时代时候的派出去的探险队，有时候想到他们怎么走出去十万八千里再回来的。
2.5。故事本身实在是套路陈旧。意义在于性别或许不是电影的障碍了
