One Life

[naomi24]

The story of Nicholas Winton, the man responsible for saving 699 children from Nazi invaded Czechoslovakia. Just watched it - with an abundance of tissues at the ready - and necessary.  A really lovely movie.

I really want to see that.  Where did you watch it?  I cancelled Sky Cinema, but we do have Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I still get teared up when I see the That's Life clip.

[naomi24]

I watched it on Sky.

blimey Schindler was on this  evg ( 29th) - wasnt winton the one who wouldnt talk about it as he  thought he  should  have saved more?

and thirdly - Varians War WIlliam Hurd 2001 I see, pretty terrible - Hurd portrays him as a buffoon ( well it is a film) and of course buffoons dont achieve this  sort  of thing

Saw this film at the cinema and thought it was wonderful. Definitely needed the tissues.

I watched the BBC documentary eabout this wonderful man a few years ago, it was excellent.

We went to the Cinema to watch it and thought it was superb, thinking of buying the dvd

[ubasses]

We watched it on Prime, brilliant film

[hellywelly4]

It was one of the nicest films I've ever seen.  I watched it on Prime. When he was in the audience of Esther Rantzen's programme I sobbed.

[ladybirder]

Is it the one with Anthony Hopkins you all watched?

[naomi24]

Yes, LB.

///When he was in the audience of Esther Rantzen's programme I sobbed.///

One of the most truly moving moments I've ever seen on TV.

[ladybirder]

No chance of a link to that Canary?

[naomi24]

LB, try to watch the film if you can.  It's really worthwhile.

[bednobs]

its ok to me sam, nothing unintended as far as i can see

[ladybirder]

I am watching it Naomi, well I'm trying to. Visitor, then dog walker, phone call, then dog to vet for his Librela injection, then getting something to eat.  Managed to watch about a third of it but will settle down and watch as much as I can before I have to go to bed.  It is very moving.
