Customer Reviews of Call to Remember
Nice Job This movie about Holocaust survivors is a little gem, not to be missed. The entire cast, including Blythe Danner and Joe Mantegna, turn in fine performances. It is fascinating to see David Lascher, the boot-wearing stud from "Hey, Dude", turning in a sensitive portrayal as the son.
A moving and thought provoking story.
This film of holocost survivors, and if you like, survivor guilt, is well done with an excellent cast. It is a thought provoking movie and while it ends well, I can't call it a happy ending.
In the opening scene, I think it is forced showing Ms. Danner's left forearm with a serial number tattooed on it. This could have been shown in a more natural manner during the course of the film. Where is Mr. Mantega's number? This a criticism of style not content.
There is a scene where the two boys discover the secret place where $20,000 is kept in several mayonaise jars. This hits you hard because it reminds you that this is the early 60s, the war and "final Solution" are just a generation in the past, and you get reminded that even through the survivors are here in America, they feel a potential need may exist to move on for survival. .... This getaway money makes sense to me and is certainly a key point in the film.
Survivor guilt is a strong issue in the film. It is brought to the fore front when Ms. Danner is told that one of her sons, whom she hadn't seen since some point in WOrld War II, has been found and is to be reunited with her. Later it turns out not to be so. This causes untold pain for both parents. Mr. Mantega's charecter lost a wife and two sons while Ms. Danner lost a husband and two sons. The use of the psychiatrist to bring this out in the case of Ms. Danner and her son is quite interesting and thoought provoking. It takes the two present day sons to bring Mr. Mantega to even talk about his two lost sons. It must be a terrible burden to carry and to try to find meaning from. ....
Overallt this is a well made film with a cast that works well together. I highly recommend it both for the cast and also the subject matter of the film.
