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!
作为一部喜剧电影，藏在电影里面的包袱简直太棒了。好笑，出人意料，且不刻意。
最后在飞机上的那一段看哭了，是真实的紧张。妈妈也很勇敢啊，当年也来深圳做过生意，拉扯3个孩子长大，自己在老家开店生意兴隆，还要负责家里的一日三餐，拜神求神。只是迫于生计，一直没出去玩过。不愧是潮汕的女人，太能干了。
故事剧情不复杂
7.5分。很久没看到这么认真探讨代际问题的院线电影了。“妈妈”的表演撑起全片。结尾那句“妈妈是不是很没用啊”，一下子把整部片的意蕴提上去了。
主角某些角度太像粤语科普博主第二号人物了，但是细看又挺仁科的
还好是在电视上看而不是电影院，充满偏见思维，粗暴语言，生硬剧情，拖沓镜头。再多拍几部，看还有几个“外省”愿意嫁过来。
也可以透过表象的问题，看出一个更深层次的事实。
故事还蛮惊喜的，潮汕地域文化特性，两代人之间的观念碰撞，拍出了纪录片般的粗粝质感，自然又散漫（缺点就是咋看都不像电影，深圳部分也过于网大），喜欢妈妈这个角色。
妈妈演活了这个角色 太有烟火气息了😘
从客观的角度看，整体呈现不错。不过有些片段，还是让人感觉有点不舒服吧。
少见的潮汕方言电影，市井气，生活流，将潮汕本土特色都呈现于镜头中，大家小楼，排队洗澡，三姑六婆，邻人嘴碎…由封建守旧的原乡潮汕，与搞钱神话的特区深圳，形成两代人无法消解与面对的情感矛盾，很有现实意义。最值得夸赞的是男主妈妈，演得真好，那股出于泥土的表演，简直就是每个潮汕妈妈的缩影。整部电影最后的情感升华都在妈妈游杭州的vlog，非常真实、动情。
3- 总能借在朋友家里做客看一些平时自己不在考虑范围的作品。
语言不通的交流不通带来的喜感。
戏台，木偶戏，侯孝贤戏梦人生。
很用心的故乡电影，好喜欢方言电影里的传统习俗描绘，什么时候我这家乡能出来一两个大导演呐。
传统与现代，突破与规矩，文明与风俗，最后都在亲情中融为了一体。电影冲突的呈现与表达也很高级。
整体观感还是比较愉快的，中老年素人演员各有亮点，最后一段手持主观妈妈的表现非常动人。配乐也很有特点。
妈妈这个演员演的太好了，拿鸡毛掸子打儿子那一段，看得我简直疼在了身上和心上！
最后的手机拍摄镜头有点拖沓，不然我真的想冲动打五星。没有特别大的矛盾和狗血的剧情，滤镜和主角的选角我适应了好一会儿，因为有点过去帅和美了不符合现实哈哈哈哈哈。一家人都很棒很自然，每个人都有性格，塑造的很好很丰满。男主过于帅了，但长相也确实很有地域特色。女主也不错。尤其最后的回忆杀用另一个视角让女主的形象更丰满了。肯定有人觉得飙方言和地域问题像是某种套路，但我觉得不违和，而且婆媳冲突也正来源于此。能够认真讲一个普通的故事，让人能够看下去，我觉得就挺好。尤其男女主分手时候的哭戏，俩人一哭，我真的泪也出来了，演的太好了呜呜呜。就为这里真的想打五星了（没必要没必要别激动别激动
2男主开车带着母亲从机场回来。车窗玻璃倒映着飞机(车里面的人和飞机上了的人镜中交叉），暗示后来的重逢。
