You were moved by this movie.
That is so sweet
No doubt.
Following is a SPOILER. DON'T READ IF YOU PLAN TO SEE THIS MOVIE .....
Gor, I saw it and really liked it. The two kids were great actors. I wonder if they were aware of the history behind what they were acting in and where they were heading?
Director to kids, "Ok, kids, in this scene you are going into the gas chamber to be killed. Just act normal."
But I honestly think that they should have included a scene in which the father enters the chamber and searches for his son's body and goes crazy/insane in the process.
Would not have been pleasant to watch but it would have really brought some reality to the screen.
I have a feeling that they probably shot that scene but decided not to release it.
Yeah, the kids were great. I wonder if they'll talk about (The kids will) whether or not they knew the significance of the scene they acted out, in the DVD releases special features.
You know, I'd bet they did shoot such a scene, but you're right, would have been too unpleasant. I fucking lost it, cause once the kid digs himself under the fence, you just knew something bad was gonna happen. I don't think one person in the theater had a dry eye. Even the tools who started out "texting and playing with their cells" we're into to it by the end.
That scene was insane. It was so intense, so sad, so touching.....to see the two boys holding hands, you know, best friends and all...to the end.
I still can't get over the scene where the little jewish boy is sitting by the fence, starving, wondering why he's a prisoner....all I can think of is my 7 year old boy....
