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.
