The Champion: Le combat de la liberté

I don't care what anybody else says. This was an outstanding movie and I started crying at the end! Thank you! It was also so inspiring that it led me to write my very first review for a movie, so attaboy. If I were to critique the film's whole then all I would say is the fighting could've been a little more up to par, but other than that I honestly loved the movie. I'm here mostly as a fan that enjoyed the entirety of both how the main character tricked me because I didn't recognize who the actor was until I seen the credits and how he blended in with the storyline and environment! Outstanding work. Glad to be here!!!

This is a tale of how a skill can make one's miserable enslaved existence more beneficial for the self and others. The skill saves some innocent and destroys some too; but no matter how hard the predicament might seem, there is always something to fight for. Dramatic near-death and comeback resurrection are truly inspiring.

There was a sincere effort here to make a good Holocaust film, hurt by ham acting on the part of the actors playing the Nazis and the even more ham-handed dubbing with dull Western voices instead of the real voices and languages of the actors and the characters they played. Dubbing is just stupid and also offensive. If westerners can't bother to read subtitles, then don't watch the movie. Those of us who enjoy International films and series want the languages and cultures of these works, and don't want the bizarre effects of dubbing coming from their mouths: "Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." -"Parasite" Director, Bong Joon-Ho whose film won the Academy Award-with sub-titles.

I have never heard of this story before if I did, it has been a long time. I watched this in honor of all those who lost their lives in Auschwitz Concentration Camp and the other concentration camps. I didn't realize that this movie takes place during the early days of Auschwitz. Everything from the acting, to cinematography excellent but I have one main problem, if I want to watch a foreign film I expect to hear the native language like Polish and German and use English subtitles. This is one moving and yet powerful movie, and it will make you tear up when you see families heading for their deaths. And, yet it will make you angry all at the same time. It did for me.

I loved it, I didn't take my eyes of the screen for one second. It made a lot of people cry in the audience. A must watch.
