I'd like to add that I just watched Grimcutty (2022), an amazing movie which stars the actress who played Anne Frank here, and she's much better there. Give it a watch if you like horror, it's sensational and insane.

the kid literally could just have been a non holocaust victim instead of Anne Frank and it wouldn't have changed anything about the plot. I'm so puzzled by this decision

Why are people so obssessed with turning Anne Frank into something inspirational? She was a child victim of the holocaust, just let the girl rest. Don't use her as a metaphor for your movie.

only through a person who suffered through an existential threat can we truly learn to appreciate our electric toothbrush

Did someone really think, "why are people depressed when Anne Frank?" And made it a screenplay > movie???

This feels like a movie written by someone who had an argument with a loved one about moving on after loss and needed to write a whole ass movie saying "well you know who would tell you it could be worse? Anne Frank."

I feel like this story would've been fine if it was just about a woman dealing with her daughter's death. You could even keep the girl in the attic. She could be, like, not exactly her daughter but similarly aged and stuff. There's literally no reason for her to be Anne Frank lol

Speaking as one Jewish person, WE DON'T LET GO! Our heartbreak is always carried around. Always acknowledged. We do have other things going on in life. We find, joy, celebration, humor, love. But the sadness is always there too. We use it to remind ourselves to be vigilant, to understand what injustice looks like, to remind the world. We go forward but we hold our heartbreak tight as we do. And to invoke Anne Frank of all people to push a message of "Don't take your meds. Let go of your sadness. Just focus on what's good." pisses me off SO much.

This movie teaches us a valuable lesson about how the cure for depression is listening to Neutral Milk Hotel

I like how fluid & picturesque the animation is in Where is Ann Frank?

i feel like the insistence that it was inspired by a work that was inspired (in part) by Anne's diary is a giveaway that they did not, actually, read the diary itself. IDK I feel like the characterization of her in this movie is not only a bizarre, kind of evil interpretation of her life, but totally incompatible with the pretty normal teenage girl who wrote her day to day worries and hopes in a diary while hiding in the upper floors of a warehouse with 6 other people from a fate that she couldn't foresee with clarity.

im not one to judge someone filming in their own house considering every web series ive made ive had to do that but. at least i do not have an eiffel tower

Thank you for recognizing the Pete's Dragon fandom, even if it was in such a horrifying context such as this.

You are so brave for watching this movie & telling us about it so none of us have to ever experience it firsthand

This movie makes me embarrassed to be a Neutral Milk Hotel fan

A true girl boss doesn’t have depression

"Depressed? Got a dead kid? At least you're not a child holocaust victim." Hell of a thing. Very good video. Also your hair's nice!

I wondered how long it would take for my boy Jeff Mangum to make an appearance in this vid about Anne Frank inspired media. Turns out about 7 minutes!

Now that BigJoel spawned Little Joel are we gonna get MothBear

Anne Frank and final fantasy 10, name a better grief counseling duo. you can't

I laughed, I cringed, I learnt a lot about New-Jersey-purgatory Anne Frank. Thank you for the content!

Does somebody knows if Anne Frank is supposed to be dressing in modern clothes or we are supposed to understand that the way she is dressing is how 40s fashion looked like?

When I heard the aeroplane over the sea bit i almost disintegrated

I can’t express enough how much I wish people would leave In the Aeroplane Over the Sea alone.

This is so insulting to Anne Frank.

I love that you explore truly deep cut corners of the Internet. Just dusty hallways few have traversed

I can’t imagine bragging abt the ITAOTS inspiration, it’s one of my favorite albums of all time and I’ve cried to it but like the way it engages with Anne Frank is gross and off putting and nothing that anyone should try to recreate

Anne had many, many moments of despair. They never read her diary

You deserve a lot more views, this was a quality review.

Everytime one of the actors speak I feel like I'm dying. This is a good video but it hurts my soul.

All this movie taught me is that I want to get high to see ghosts

Ugh, the acting in this movie is so good! Everyone speaks so naturally and not stilted or halting at all.

ok but that sunflower is SO nasty it has to be intentional

As a Neutral Milk Hotel fan, that's horrifying + hilarious this abomination of a film was inspired by their most well-known album; unexpected twist.

the neutral milk hotel reference in the title is really the cherry on top. i'm saying this as a neutral milk hotel lover and apologist. why would you do that

I didn't know you made videos, I love your art! :o

This is the earliest I've ever been to anything

Matt looks like Hbomberguy and Tim Heindecker had a child

ima be so real i was getting anne frank and helen keller mixed up in my mind and was so confused for a lil bit there

When you said Anne Frank Media I instantly thought: Neutral Milk Hotel. Which is apparently a sentence. Anyway they did an unconscionable job, especially since they had the guts to name-drop both so brazenly. I don't think they ever said "Anne Frank" once in the album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. They could've had an ounce of subtlety and not named the girl (ghost?) in the attic that. But they did. And they shouldn't've

This is a really minor crime compared to further desecrating the memory of a teenage girl murdered by the nazis into twee bullshit, but attempting to ruin Two Headed Boy pt 2, noted Song that Makes Me Cry Every Time, by using a lyric from it to title their desecration sure is something.

this film gives me major Drop Dead Fred vibes

YoU hAVe tO LEt GO MoMMy (Also how did you contain yourself when you had the Philosophy of Loss and the Hbomberguy joke right there?)

I'm gonna have to listen to Neutral Milk Hotel now to recover from what I've just seen. Lol.

I love your videos so much

Let Me Be Frank (2023) In this sequel to indie darling „Love All You Have Left“ director and screenwriter Matt Sivertson, also known under his alias „hbomberguy“ proves once and for all that KZfaqrs shouldn’t be allowed to make movies. In a heavy-handed metaphor for a proposed victim culture several characters audition for the role of Anne Frank in his previous movie - and who ends up winning the role but the ghost of Anne Frank herself. While breaking the fourth wall in this manner might be seen as creative it is in service of a tasteless and obvious plot. Let me be frank: Do not watch this movie. 1/10 Terrible concept, stiff performances and a director whose prolonged contact to Tommy Tallarico seems to have impacted him more than we can ever know

I LOVE YOUR HAIR OMG!!!!!

glad to be part of the moth army 😼 . best video I've ever seen. (im a minute in)

Time to sew 🤙🪡

Why did they depict her like the robin Williams genie

Why is the director Hbomberguy tho

Well, in the middle of watching this nice video, I actually looked it up whether Anne Frank had mental health problems. Oopsie Doodles, looks like the filmmaker didn’t do their research or didn’t care. To quote an article from Thought Co, “her time in the Secret Annex lengthened; she became sullen, self-reproachful, and morose.” In addition, “On September 16, 1943, Anne admitted that she has started taking drops of valerian for her anxiety and depression. The following month, Anne was still depressed and had lost her appetite. Anne says that her family has been "plying me with dextrose, cod-liver oil, brewer's yeast, and calcium” (Rosenberg, 5 Things You Don't Know About Anne Frank and Her Diary, Apr, 5). It’s ironic to see how those who appear the happiest are deep down depressed. It’s not only insensitive, but a huge spit on her grave. 😢 Also, she didn’t follow the Bible, she’s Jewish. How could the film mess this up?!

i really liked this video thanks

Ngl, when I first clicked on this I was getting anne frank and helen keller mixed up.

Still not the worst bit of visual media about Anne Frank I have seen. I sadly remember the weird obsession 4chan had about her for a while.

That this movie exists and is somehow supposed to be about Anne Frank in the modern day is so weird. I don't want to blow anyone's mind, but historical context is relevant to Anne Frank's story.

Uploading this exactly a week after holocaust remembrance day? A missed opportunity but I respect not playing into the algorithmic trends.

I keep trying to come up with funny metaphors for the message of this movie, but any comparison I find feels offensive and tasteless. What's more outlandish and offensive than reanimating a holocaust victim to tell you "even when times are hard, you should smile"? Playing Bobby McFerrin's "Dont Worry, Be Happy" over "Triumph of the Will"? Also, something tells me they meant to use "Dongo" in place of "Doggo" (because of the puppy in the logo) and, you know, maybe I'm alone here, but I just don't think it works.

I know acting and getting gigs is hard, but I'm not quite sure I can excuse the actor for agreeing to play this. Maybe she got tricked into it via contracts or something, but... Jesus christ

Where is McRib?

Oh that movie was the worst

How is hbomberguy?

It’s not bad, it’s a masterpiece (Where is Anne Frank) 1:31 this is Kitty would say if the film was meant to be bad.

What's a movie?

Anne Frank Fonds should sue or something

I thought the worst movie was Crank 2 but let's see

When is KZfaq video?

Just got to the part about the husband trying to get the wife to stop taking medication because she's been on it for a year and she obviously should be better by now... and I'm already enraged for too many reasons to list. This is going to be a fun watch.

Why is mothcub?

Dongo Productions, not much better than Dingo Pictures. Also, you gotta love how a Holocaust victim just magically appears to cheer people up like a Care Bear. :/

I've been saying this for years but it really well and truly feels like once the last survivors die, we've got like a decade before Disney tries to make an Anne Frank animated movie...

Who's Anne Frank?

hey, great video. could you sit closer to the camera for the next one?

Omg I couldn’t , I canmt even @ “screw you stupid nazis” wtffffffffffffuppeti whut whut fuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!! Screaming over here

Dropping this right after Large Joel's vid I see
