Review of Colditz

Colditz (2005)
1/10
A huge betrayal of historical facts
20 April 2014
I've already watched some 2 hours of this incredible flop! I'll go through it to see to what an extent the two script writers have gone.

Have they ever read a single line of the many books about Colditz and in particular Pat Reid's. Probably not.

Their sole interest in this movie is to show a love story and all the rest is just for the fun and accessory. The skills of all those prisoners, the friendship which developed between 6 or 7 nations united in the same hardships is second in line in the story.

This movie is an insult to the memory of so many young chaps who suffered for days in that awful prison.

"Biscuitcharley" has written in his review in 2012 "It may have been filmed in the Czech and England, but it is an American production, and yet again, they have demonstrated their ability to rewrite history to fulfill their own greedy, empty past. Thanks again Hollywood, for making me sick to my stomach and aching for you not to destroy history, again!".

I totally adhere to his analysis. What would say Americans if we Europeans dared to rewrite the Civil war period? They should really be ashamed of themselves. No words can express my disgust before such a production!
