Was the most depressing movie I have ever seen. Steven Spielberg is such a great movie director, before this movie, I havent really thought of the holocaust the way i do now because of the movie.

Everyone should watch.

Anyone else seen that movie?
 
Spielberg is not really a great director, he is quite mediocre. Check out Alan Resnais's Night of Fog
 
Uh yeah, genocide and the holacaust are depressing topics but this was a great movie.

Others in this category I would recommend are The Pianist with Adrian Brody directed by Polanksi, Life is Beautiful an Italian film with comic Roberto Benigni and Sophie's Choice with Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline.

You can say that about his other movies and be right, but watch Schindler's list and I think you'll agree he did an amazing job. Of course, you can't forget Kaminski who is a wizard at cinematography, Spielberg doesn't deserve all of the credit.
 
yeah whether or not u think spielberg is good or not that is a matter of opinion and tastes but you cannot agrue with his track record of awards and profit of his movies, someone likes his movies obviously.
 
its actually one of the few movies spielberg does where it doesn't end up with aliens at the end...hahaha
yup that was a good movie, at the time it was pretty revolutionary with its graphic images etc...kinda like how saving private ryan was when it came out.
did you know theres actually people that don't believe the holocaust happened?
 
I still need to watch it... i know its gonna be very sad, i dont know if i am going to be able to watch it without crying... :P But yea, i dont like sad movies much... they make me sad..
 
I found Life is Beautiful and Valkyrie much more depressing. But thats just me.
 
Yes, I've seen this movie. Depressing, but a VERY good movie. Now you make me want to see it again...
 
What percent of people living in the south do you think that is?

before we offend anyone, i dont think its confined to any particular region per se, but definitley the white supremicist and neo-nazi groups in america and europe.....we are getting off-topic though.

anyhoo....its a great movie, depressing sure but also shows that during horrible events there ared kind deeds which can be uplifting.
