Why Teens Should See The Zookeepers Wife
We attended as a guest
I have been learning about the Holocaust in school and when I saw the trailer for The Zookeepers Wife; I immediately knew that I wanted to see the movie to get a deeper understanding of what the people truly went through. When my mom told me that she had tickets to the premiere, I immediately knew that I wanted to go with her to see the film.
When we took our seats in the theater, I was so excited for the film to start. I had watched the trailer over and over again until I was able to watch the full movie. I love movies that teach me about the history and the world before I knew it. True story films are always the best movies to watch.
When the movie started playing, I didn’t even want to do so much as blink in case I might miss something.The beginning started off very quiet and peaceful, but then it got to where the drama and action started. The movie got very intense – very quickly. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. By the time the movie ended, I felt like I knew a whole lot more about the Holocaust in a way that I never thought imaginable.
As a teen it opened my eyes to the other kids living in that time period who were under attack and maybe didn’t even make it to become a teenager. There were points in the movie where it got really emotional and I could barely watch the screen, but I needed have this story told to me. There was a scene where little kids got on a train to go to a concentration camp and the whole theater fell silent. The film made me see what life was like during war periods. It was emotional, impactful, and I feel that every teenager should see this film.
After the film was over, I talked with my mom about the Holocaust and the history of it the whole ride home. We talked about the movie and events that weren’t in the film. I felt like I knew so much about that event in history, but I really didn’t until seeing the film, and talking to my mom about it after. This film is probably one of the best true life stories that I have ever seen. The next day, I went to the bookstore purchase the book, and I haven’t been able to stop reading it.
This film is rated PG-13. Since this movie is about the history of the Holocaust and things can get a little intense I would recommend this movie for a mature 13-year-old and up. If you are looking for a history movie that holds an amazing story, then this is your film. The film is out in theaters starting today. Learn more about the film online, Facebook, and Twitter.
