A very clear warning

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2005)

I'm commenting only to add to gingerkris' comments with which I find no fault. I've seen many movies which include graphic violence in them, but I can think of none which have had the impact of a particular scene in this one.
It's simply, horrifyingly, believable - the acting, direction, writing all contribute by joining to achieve that "suspension of disbelief" so often sought and so rarely achieved -you want to check the curtains, because it may just be outside, because these people may just be your neighbours.
Clearly Norton's best performance so far, but if you remember it's a performance after the first few scenes, you're just not watching the movie.
To amplify gk's closing comment (should be on every high school curriculum), as soon as my children are old enough to understand it and not be hurt by it, I'll be showing them this film so that they know what fascism means.
