由于没有字幕，没有完全看懂，于是上网搜索了相关的信息，和我猜的大致也差不多。原著自然没有电影中那么多的温情联系，比如In the movie, Lista is portrayed as Augustine's sister. In the book, Lista is not related to Augustine and does not know her（Lista和Augustine在书中并非姐妹，也不认识对方。摘自维基百科）。
我认为导演有一个地方真不该修改原著：In the book, Alex's grandfather was forced by the Nazis to choose between his own life (and the life of his son) and his best friend's, and due to his pain and fear, he covers it up by taking on the persona of being anti-semitic. In the movie, he is portrayed as having survived the massacre by pretending to be dead, then assuming a new identity to hide the fact that he himself was Jewish. （原著中，Alex的爷爷心中之痛的原因是纳粹让他在自己以及他儿子的命和他好友的命中作选择。摘自维基百科）我想经历过如此抉择的人在最后选择自杀就是理所当然的，不会像电影中有些突兀。
不过很久没有这么让我感动的电影了，那句台词说得太好了，Alles ist erleuchtet in der Vergangenheit， 一切都被过去唤醒。怎能忘记过去，Alex的爷爷从来就没有忘记过，他一生都背负了那样沉痛的心灵的折磨。而当他终于有勇气去面对那物是人非的故土时，他也终于释然了，比死亡更可怕的就是忘记和背叛。
