Schindler's List so far...

Great. Although I have seen it before, that was a while ago and it's great to see it again. This time around I am really seeing how much of a well-made movie it is. From the performances to the cinematography, it's just a really great movie in general. As for the subject matter, it's heartbreaking of course. I think it does a really good job of conveying the atmosphere of the camps, though I was not in one, it is pretty realistic and it really sucks me into the story. I like to let this happen because it immerses me in the universe of the movie. On the outside I am sitting intently and quietly with very little external reaction. It is perhaps because of that behavior that I am confused and disheartened at some of the reactions the audience has been having, e.g. laughing. The "it's so ridiculous you can't help but laugh" excuse only goes so far...
