To those who don't seem to have understood...

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 1999)

To you people who say that this movie desecrates anyone or the memory of anyone, I want to ask you to think about the purpose of this movie.
Do you really think that its purpose is to say that we should forget the whole thing and laugh loud at the skinny guys on the pictures???
When I saw it I laughed, all right. But it's not like when you laugh about a joke, it's a lot different. I can't really explain that but I can tell you that at no time at all I had forgotten about it.(and I'm only 19 and not jewish)
Someone on the imdb called those who liked the movie naive and ignorant people. I find these words very offending, not to me but to the beauty of the movie for it is beautiful, whatever anyone may say. Such assumptions make me think of those who burnt witches in the Middle Age or worse...
I don't think that anyone has forgotten how awful the holocaust was and I don't think we'll ever do even if we look at it the way Benigni made us.
