A question for those of you who have already seen it: Will it make me cry?
I ask because I was thinking of watching it during down time at work today... but I don't want to get all emotional & have a customer walk in. If it is too wrenching, I'll wait till tonight.
I was bawling like a big baby. But it's sooooo good. I bought it the day it came out and Adrian Brody totally deserved his Oscar and I'm shocked but thrilled that Roman Polanski got one too. Sometimes the Academy gets it totally right.
16. I couldn't watch it right away -- I started to but
had to go to the special features -- where the actor and director talked about the film, why it was important to do and how they worked to get the details right.
Then I started the film at the beginning -- and stopped it when it got too hard to watch. I doubt that I could have watched this in a theater. It is intense -- but it is a must watch movie.
A few days before I watched the DVD I viewed some of the photos from Fallujah -- so that film was in a way blending what OUR troops are doing to "the other" someone of a different religions and different ethnic group -- and what the Nazis did to the Jews and later the Poles.
To me this movie is a reminder -- as much as we think the world has changed -- human hatred still remains.
Also not everyone on the other side is evil -- some of the Jews were evil to each other.
An excellent film -- one worth watching many times.
