Her writings combine observations on the overall situation with observations about her own life and self, with a surprising degree of perception. The other significant aspect of the Diary is its portrait of Anne herself. The photography also makes good use of the settings and the details. The movie does well in bringing out this aspect of the diary, making the characters come to life in settings that are interesting, detailed, and believable. It puts names and faces on the kind of human disaster that is all too often described in terms of mere numbers. The Diary is most important for its record of the daily lives of real individuals who lived in constant fear because of the Nazis and their irrational persecutions. But, as a movie in its own right, it works well. The script does alter some details, and it's hard to see why they could not simply have filmed a selection of actual events, since that could have been more than effective enough. But this movie version is good in its own right, and it does add some memorable, if sometimes non-historical, images to the story. No mere movie could convey the full force of the original diary, which no one who has read it can forget.
This worthwhile cinematic tribute to "The Diary of Anne Frank" offers a solid cast, some very effective settings, and a generally well-considered selection of episodes.
