I want to review a great movie 'Sophie's Choice.' It was released in 1982, and Meryl Streep was the main role in this film. I had really wanted to watch this film for a long time, so I took a file a month ago and watched it. It was much better than I thought. Meryl Streep is one of my favorite actresses, because she is so good at acting. She is made for the roles which are given to her. At first, I chose this movie all because of Meryl Streep; however, I fell in love with this film because of a story. Sophie's Choice could be classified as a Holocaust film; it deals with the lives after the World WarⅡ. This film shows us how deep are the wounds which came from the World War and how these wounds destroy people; especially Sophie and Nathan. More specifically, it reveals that the Jews Massacre hurt people so deeply.
Author Stingo (Peter MacNicol) has arrived in Brooklyn to jump-start his writing career. He rents a ground-floor flat; his upstairs neighbors are a weird couple: Sophie Zawistowski (Meryl Streep) and Nathan Landau (Kevin Kline). Sophie is a Catholic Polish concentration camp survivor. Nathan is a Jew who saved Sophie after her liberation from Auschwitz and is now obsessed with the Holocaust. Sophie's father was one of the anti-semitic voices in Poland's academia and her tragic interaction with the Nazis forced her to choose which of her two children would be executed. Nathan is an addict of alcohol and sometimes violent to Sophie. Stingo falls in love with Sophie, because he gets to know the tragic truth of her. He offers her to leave Nathan and get married together, but Sophie gets back to Nathan.
I was so sad during the entire movie, because Sophie and Nathan’s emotion seems so real. They are suffered and haunted for the rest of their lives. This film makes me think about Nazi’s murder and tragedies of the rest. I wasn’t there, but could reckon their great pain a little. It is the best movie ever in my life. You’ve got to try this movie!
