I watched two movies about the Holocaust...

[cynatnite]

I'm so depressed.

1. Schindler's List and The Pianist?

I'm getting ready to watch the former.

[cynatnite]

4. 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas' and 'Schindler's List' n/t

[AlCzervik]

2. you should rent The House of Sand and Fog and Atonement.

those will cheer you right up!

[arcadian]

6. that's Rodney Dangerfield's character from Caddyshack.

Right?

[AlCzervik]

7. si.

12. Atonement

At first that one just kind of irked me, but the last 10 minutes pissed me right off. To think that my parents told me I'd like it...

3. For some reason...

the little :woohoo: in your sigline is making me experience cognitive dissonance :crazy:

On a more serious not, I watched the Nazi channel last Friday nite and couldn't sleep because I was so sad (Nazi channel = History International)

[cynatnite]

5. Yeah, the sig line has got a bad vibe to it. I'll change it. n/t

[Paladin]

8. Watch "The Pianist"

Glorious movie about surviving and prevailing......

[applegrove]

9. I always avoid holocaust movies as long as possible. Too upsettting. Then my cureosity overwhelms me

and I go out and rent them. Still have not seen the pianist.

[Rhythm]

11. Plus, Adrian Brody is simply brilliant...

[emilyg]

10. Watch Judgment at Nuremberg.

[yellowdogintexas]

13. I have read a lot of Holocaust Fiction over the years. Depressing yes but

important.

Very important.

I get in moods every once in a while where I just HAVE to read a new Holocaust book. These things need to be kept in the public consciousness.

For a different take on those events, rent "To Be or Not To Be". There are two versions, an old one with Jack Benny and a newer one with *and made by* Mel Brooks with Anne Bancroft and a wealth of great character actors. It will make you smile and think at the same time.

14. I suggest watching Life is Beautiful.

La Vita è Bella
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118799/

Great movie. Still quite heartbreaking, but also quite amazingly beautiful and even uplifting at times.
