Seeing the horror of the Holocaust through children's eyes

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2009)

This was an exceptional film - it was very clever the way they told the story through the eyes of innocent children and was all the more powerful for it. It also made you more sympathetic to the ordinary Germany people who lived in the country and disagreed with what was going on but were either too frightened or not significant enough to do anything about it.
One of the only films worthy of inclusion in the nominations for major awards last year was Slumdog Millionaire - The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Gran Torino and The Changeling were all absolutely superb powerful films and all ignored.
When there are great movies made like this, how do films like Benjamin Button get nominated for major awards - do people have their heads up their behinds?
