There are many movies about World War II and its aftermath, but there is only one I can think of starring Elijah Wood and Eugene Hutz, from Gogol Bordello, Everything is Illuminated. This movie is based on a combination of the two books from Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

This film is the tale of a very rigid search that is undertaken by Jonathan Foer, Elijah Wood’s character, to find the woman that saved his grandfather from the Nazi “cleansing” of inferior races, the Holocaust. His search leads him to his tour guides: Alex, a young man that is into “the hip hop”, his “blind” grandfather - who is also dubbed Alex - and his grandfather’s seeing eye dog who is named Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. This journey for a city not on the maps is not only a search for the woman that the American seeks but also a search of the past within each person. The ending is truly one of the most remarkable endings that I have ever seen, so I would highly recommend that you watch this movie the whole way though - even with a girl, because they’ll also think a film of this caliber is premium.
