(The following information is from Wiki.)

Sunshine
is an award-winning 1999 historical film directed, written and produced by István Szabó. It follows three generations of a Jewish family (originally called "Sonnenschein" but later changed to "Sors") during the changes in Hungary from the beginning of the 20th century to the period after the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. The central male protagonist of all three generations is portrayed by Ralph Fiennes. The film also stars the real-life mother and daughter team of Rosemary Harris and Jennifer Ehle as well as Rachel Weisz and John Neville.

Although fictional, the film weaves events drawn from several real sources into the story. One of Fiennes's three roles is based at least partly on Hungarian Olympian Attila Petschauer, but also includes allusions to the early life of George Soros (orig. Schwartz), Miksa Fenyő and other famous Hungarians of Jewish origin who suffered from anti-Semitism and the persecution of Jews in WWII Hungary.

The film was an international co-production between companies from Germany, Austria, Hungary and Canada. It won the Genie Award for Best Canadian Film.

Now come two video clips from youtube. While enjoying the picturesque scenes and beaufilt life in the movie, do not forget how heartless human beings could be.

melly 回复 悄悄话 Thank you 杯子 for sharing your comments.


This movie was very impressive. This was my second time to watch it. Understood much more. I have no idea why they added music instead of keeping the original dialuge in the second clip. The answer of Adam Sors was very powerful, very touching.

I love peace, externally and internally.
夜光杯 回复 悄悄话 The war movie. Thanks for sharing.

I just watched 阎学通's lecture and worry about the war will be broken out in this March. He said the human beings couldn’t control the war so far. What do you think?
