Comedy and misery

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2002)

Serious filmmakers say there are two types of movies that are pretty hard to make in a quality manner: comedy and drama. I guess Spielberg (besides english film makers) is one of the few who was/is able to demonstrate what's human misery really like and why it's so terrible. I myself am from a recent war area and believe me, I know what I'm talking about. There's no greater tragedy for human kind then war and we should have at least a dozen Spilbergs that would call our attention by revealing the dramatic moments of our history. I hope we all learn.
Little Jim, Oscar Schindler and even Celie from The Color Purple are heroic indeed, but those things should've never happened to them. And there are thousands of similar destinies out there. Human misery is not tolerable. Period.
