In my last posting, I was not making a critique of the film, I was making a
critique of the attitude that the gentleman had during the film. My
statement was merely reflecting upon how someone could sit through a film
like Schindler's List, and not be horrified. I wasn't saying whether the
film WAS horrifying or not. Nevertheless, you bring up some good points.
Thanks for responding!!! :-) Mattie([log in to unmask])
