Anne Frank Movie

The movie was based on the personal diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl who lived in a hiding place with her family during World War II. All her writings to her diary were addressed as 'Dear Kitty'. The diary was published after the end of the war by her father Otto Frank (played by Joseph Schildkraut, also a Jew). By this time all his other family members were killed by the Nazis.

Composition

      Highly gifted people have several characteristics that set then apart, and that are not obviously connected with the school scores, IQ, EQ or creativity that are most often used to define the category.  Many of these characteristics have to do with their particularly intense feelings and emotions.Others with their sometimes awkward social interactions.These factors make those people often misunderstood and underestimated by their parents. Society and even by themselves.Most of their gifts are actually underutilized, and rarely fulfills their creative potential.
      Einstein was four years old before he could speak and seven before he could read.Isaac Newton did poorly in grade school.When Thomas Edison was a boy, his teachers told him he was too stupid to learn anything .Winston Churchill failed the sixth grade .A newspaper editor fired Walt Disney because he had no good ideas.What I meant with this is: Even the greatest genius once failed, so if you think it's easier to people who are smart, you are probably mistaken.
      Anne Frank is an example of gifted person, and she didn't even know that.She is one of the most discussed victim of the holocaust; Her diary is a masterpiece of today's literature.Anne wrote about her life in Annex(her hiding), about her relationship with her mother and the people in Annex, about the holocaust.Basically she wrote deep thoughts about her life that a thirteen years old girl today is not able to.Its normal for gifted people to have complex and deep.thoughts , feel intense emotions, be highly sensitive, ask lots of questions, question authority, unusual sense of humor, feel sad about the world, vivid imagination and among other characteristics.I believe that if you read Anne's diary you're going to find those qualities in each page.Like Pearl Buck once said:

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him…
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a  joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create ---- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him.He must create, must pour out creation.By some strange, unknown , inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating"
