Depressing

Rating: 4/10 (8 October 2006)

OK - this was meant to be a serious film, but this was possibly the most depressing movie I have ever seen. It makes Schindlers List seem lighthearted. Yes it was cinematically powerful etc. etc. but it was just too miserable. Parts of the movie were also confusing and I thought it would be more factual but it appeared to cross the line into Hollywood particularly with the murders, their graphic nature and overacted scenes! This was further enhanced by the gratuitous sex scene with his pregnant wife!I can say I neither laughed nor cried once during this movie. It was like watching a three hour Panorama!As Spielberg directed, I was expecting a lot more, and the film had a lot of great reviews. Definitely not for me.
