YMMV / Anne Frank: The Whole Story

Go To

  • Hollywood Homely: Closely subverted. Anne seems to think she isn't pretty and Hannah Gordon Taylor is not a classic beauty, but she is however quite cute and Peter assures her that she's better looking than she thinks.
  • Les Yay: Anne and Jacqui with the most prominent example being the scene where Anne asks Jacqui if she can see her naked. They also re-enact a proposal scene from a book. At one point, they have their arms around each other.
  • Moe: Hannah's little sister Gabbi is just precious, even as the Nazis are coming to take her family away.
  • Signature Scene: The very terrifying scene of Anne, Margot, Edith and Auguste having their hair chopped off while naked as they enter the camp. Notable because most adaptations of Anne's life end with them being discovered by the Gestapo, and thus it's easy to forget that this really happened to the women after they got there.
  • The Woobie:
    • Anne of course remains The Pollyanna for the most part, but she still has her moments. Notably she has nightmares of Hannah in the camp, fights with Mr Pfeffer over her diary and is eventually separated from her beloved father.
    • Margot has to depend on her mother and sister when her glasses are taken, and eventually dies in Anne's arms while talking about her dream to become a nurse.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: While you can show the original black and white to your kiddies, you should only show this one to your kids if you want to scar them for life.
