Spielberg is a sucker for emotional manipulation and the girl in the red dress pushes those buttons every time. When I saw Schindler's grave at Yad Vachem I cried like a baby. uff.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-24977225222905057122015-12-09T18:49:40.231+02:002015-12-09T18:49:40.231+02:00I agree this film stands out from the others you&#...I agree this film stands out from the others you've been watching up to this point, but there will be far more violent ones, and ones where children are harmed, coming later in the list for you.

I consider it a great movie, five stars, and one of the very best films to ever win Best Picture...but I will never watch it again.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-76527406270072836542015-12-08T11:51:57.102+02:002015-12-08T11:51:57.102+02:00Indeed, but even without the violence it manages t...Indeed, but even without the violence it manages to keep up steam right to the end. It is a movie want to, but cannot, move away from.

I ...It's an odd little picture, isn't it? <br /><br />I get your last comment entirely because I feel the same way. This is an ugly film, but it's compelling. In fact, it might well be compelling because it's so brutal and ugly. SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
