So different an experience than TV.

(3,549 posts)include the sunny weather when it was the dark cold rain of early morning training that challenged the boys.
The poverty was also underplayed. Especially in races against the wealthy east coast ivies.
I also thought the characters werent very developed.
The German/Hitler scenes standard.
I really wanted to love the movie because of the book and George Clooney as a director. But it lacked depth and subtlety.
In all I would give it an ok.

(153,193 posts)will catch it when it streams

(547 posts)It's about the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolph Hoss, and his family living right next to the camp.
NoRethugFriends
(2,337 posts)303squadron
(547 posts)It is not a film that depicts suffering, but implies it with different means. The dichotomy of the pleasant lives of the Hoss family with the sound of what is happening just over the wall that separates their house from the camp creates the intensity.
Auschwitz was originally set up as a camp for Polish political prisoners. On a 2018 visit there I found out that over 50 people sharing my mother's maiden name were slaughtered there. I can't look away!
NoRethugFriends
(2,337 posts)I did visit Auschwitz, both one and two, about 5 years ago.

(547 posts)But it's a different film that's for sure. The stark lack of empathy depicted in the lives of the Nazi's toward the suffering of others is what happens when one group of people believe that other groups of people are subhuman.

(8,073 posts)they say... oh, so much happens! some of the small scenes, like the wife trying on the fur coat. so much meaning.
The film will stick with me for a long time.

(113,576 posts)Did you just watch the anniversary showing of "My Fair Lady"? I just finished watching "Charade" again on youtube, so that does not count for your question.

(11,636 posts)I like Charade as well.

(115,103 posts)I'm a horror movie buff. Really liked Terrified, which was also written and directed by Demián Rugna, so I wanted to see this one in the theater.

(8,839 posts)Had a 60,000 mile service and a brake job on Jeep. Nearest theatre is over an 80-mile drive that many people would think difficult (curvy 2-lane highway along two Wild and Scenic Rivers, through National Forest and two Reservations, then over two mountain passes, more National Forest and timber industry land). Had not been to a movie in theatre since first week of January 2018 and before that whenever Depp's Finding Neverland was new.
Salesman that sold me vehicle in 2017 drove me to theatre and picked me up afterwards.
Afterwards learned the guy was a major MAGA. That explained his reaction, "Maybe my wife would like the movie", when I came out enthused and related my positive thoughts while throwing out tidbits like "Patriarchy" and how thought all the movie that "Ruth" was Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Think the salesman is nice to me because I am a good customer turns out and probably had never occurred to him, I was a lifelong Democrat.

(7,399 posts)I went with a very attractive lady and she had requested to see it. Before the movie started she informed me that she had a poster of him on her wall. She was about 52 at the time and I figured that was a bit unusual. I'm not sure what wall she was referring to but I never got to see it.

(2,830 posts)My husband wanted to see Mirrors with Kiefer Sutherland. I had to look up the year that it was released.
When I was a kid in the 60's we lived within walking distance of a movie theater so we went all the time.
Now I find the sound effects and music too loud to the point that I can't hear what the actors are saying.

(8,347 posts)Monuments Men. It was pretty good. About saving art in WWII. Its hard for me to sit still and watch a movie in a theater. I prefer watching at home. 🏠

(65,191 posts)With what we pay for cable, we exercise patience until we can watch at home.
I did go to the theater to see the remastered version of Star Trek: The Next Generation 2 part episode "Best Of Both Worlds".
Beyond that, I'm really stumped. Forrest Gump? "That Thing You Do"?
Really not sure.

(3,489 posts)First time going to the theater in our new desert home. The theater was awesome with comfortable recliners, stadium seating, so comfortable I almost fell asleep! The movie was pretty good.
Prior to that the last time we went to the movie theater was to see Top Gun Maverick.
