I can’t decide if I really needed to see people graphically executed at random for about an hour straight, but I haven’t been able to put the image out of my mind since seeing it. Is that good? productive? I don’t know. A part of me wants to say that we’ve had enough movies about the horrible things that happened to the Jews in WWII, and there are all kinds of museums, books, TV shows, magazine articles, etc etc etc.. it’s really overload! There have been plenty of simlarly awful genocidal episodes in recent history that don’t get fair play – Cambodia, Rwanda, Tibet, etc. Then again, this movie was so well done that I can’t be at all negative about it. It’s a compelling story that was worth telling. The gradual descent into chaos was shown really well, one can’t pinpoint the time when things got completely out of hand, and I guess that’s just how it happens.
