If you like depressing films that give you nightmares

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2003)

This is a good film no doubt, but like other good holocaust films, they just depress me. The better they are, the worse they are. I started to leave during Schindler's List because, well, we all know the story of the holocaust and to subject myself to that nightmare of stress, isn't really worth it.
However, I stayed for Schindler for one reason, he was a ray of hope. If there is some reasonable hope for people in the film, there is some merit to watching it.
The main character in this film however, really survives by luck, not by skill, and that just makes the hope factor non-existant because at any time, a german could pull him over and shoot him in the head just for fun. Too much anxiety for me to enjoy the movie.
