...I haven't seen that film. I notice as I get older that I have less patience for Holocaust movies or movies with violence, even "necessary" violence. In the same way I lost patience for fiction, ages ago. Maybe it's part of ageing, or my ageing at least.

...I am wary of violence ever becoming "entertainment"...even if you say you are disgusted by it, you still see it...and I've seen more than I want to.

..as for the Holocaust...I get it. I got it long ago. I was never the same after reading William Shirer's "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich ". I absolutely loather "Sophie's Choice" and only finished it under protest...I don;t want that experience turned into art for me....nothing, absolutely nothing is more poignant than the stark reality of it...and, I still have an imagination...Christians who could do that, could do ANYTHING.

..my eyes have been "opened" already...as opened as they're ever going to be...I "get it"....no need to have my face rubbed in a bucket of popcorn.
