The Zookeeper's Wife A+
I saw "The Zookeeper's Wife" this past weekend. Excellent movie - four stars from me. Jessica Chastain deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. The movie tells the inspiring story of an amazing Polish woman who hid 300 Jews in her family's zoo in Warsaw after the Nazis invaded Poland.

I just downloaded The Zookeeper's Wife on my Kindle. Hoping it is a good read . . .

Does go into a lot of science on breeding of animals and criticizes much of the junk science you would have seen in works of the scientists of the Third Reich. I studied a lot of the history of science while in college so it was quite interesting.

I loved the book. It will be interesting to see how well you think the movie followed the book. For instance, I read that the movie A Dog's Purpose (which I refuse to see due to mishandling of a dog in the filming) dealt with only one part of the book. Whereas The Book Thief, (which I also read the book), followed the book very well.
But Zookeeper's Wife was a much more faceted book than The Book Thief, which was actually written for teens & pre-teens.

The book was much better than the movie and I am not sure how accurate the abuse accusation of the dog really is. The sides say different things. |

But that's off topic; sorry.

Best Friends is the most respected animal rescue association in the US. If they pulled out of a financially beneficial agreement, I'm sure they had the real scoop.

Which Best Friends groups were you involved with? A 3rd party investigator of the tape in question found that it had been tampered with to reflect badly on the film makers. Third-Party Investigation Finds No Animal Injuries, Cruelty on Set of 'A Dog's Purpose' | Hollywood Reporter |

Thanks. It looks like A Dog's Purpose had filming locations in Canada primarily. Not sure where The Zookeeper's Wife was filmed. Europe probably. The Zookeeper's Wife (film - Wikipedia) |
