this have to be the bad remake ever . it not only robin williams and he just bad a usual . they just change the most powerful scene from the 1975 original by frank beyer . spoiler ahead when lina discovers that jakob have no radio at all and she prolong his lie and so that he can still believe in it too . in this disgraceful remake and she go to him and dance with him . they just do not get the message of the book by jurek becker . i can not understand this . so leave this one alone and watch jakob der lügner and by the way the only movie from the former gdr ever to be nominate for an oscar a best foreign language film .
