Black Book

Hi kids! I'm Josephine, and I recently watched a great movie, and I think you'll like it! It's called Black Book directed by Paul Verhoeven, also director of other movies like Total Recall, Basic Instinct, and Robocop, and starring Carice Van Houten and Sebastian Koch! This movie takes place in Europe during World War II! It's about a strong, young woman who is confronted by the atrocities and deceit a war inevitably brings and her cunning ways of handling difficult situations! There is violence and sex, so I don't recommend this for kids! AND it's a foreign film, so those of you who find subtitles are annoying, this isn't for you either! But you'll be sorry!! This movie brings forward the horrible nature of mankind but also the strength that one possesses that can differentiate a survivor from a casualty! AND for those romantics out there, you may realize love can be found no matter where you are! This Reading Rainbow-like review doesn't do it justice! So if you like movies with action, spies, sex, war, strong characters, and a good story, and you have 2.5 hrs to spare, go rent it! I give this movie 4.5 stars! (out of 5)
