schindlers list.

One of the most horrid and offensive movies I've ever seen.

Really? I thought it was an excellent movie on a very rough topic. It may be the only movie I've seen in a theater where every single person walked out completely silent at the end.

If you're interested in another movie on the same topic, but done in a completely different, even comedic style, check out the Italian film "Life is Beautiful." Great, entertaining and heart-warming flick.

Make no mistake, it's a very well made movie, one of the best movies ever filmed, it stirs the soul, it stabs the conscience relentlessly. Art.....offensive and disturbing is art at it's best.

I'll check out "life s beautiful". Thanks

OK, missed this reply while writing mine. So now I understand. The List is pretty rough. Basically accurate, though dramatized of course. BTW, I suggest you NOT watch 'Night Will Fall,' now avail on Netflix. Lots of very graphic footage from when they opened the camps and had to bury huge piles of bodies...

BTW, in your sig line, don't forget Muslims....

Please verify. Everyone (except the extra-deplorables) finds the holocaust horrid and offensive. But you found the movie--it's plot, characters, depictions--horrid and offensive?
