Well let me ask a question. Did anyone here watch this film with a young child? What was their reaction?

My English buddy has already seen it, however nobody has given it a rating here so far.

Looks fairly good!

It played in a film festival I recently attended, but as a "gala screening" so I passed. It is not in general release where I live yet.

Hey guys,

I finally got my hands on this one, and as I couldn't find an existing review thread, I opened a new one.

The movie has left a huge impression on me, and I feel like sharing some of my thoughts.

I am a patriot. I would even call myself a nationalist, by which, however, I don't mean that I have the slightest sympathy for the mass murder and destruction the Nazis brought over Europe. What I do mean is that I love my home, my country, and I do have respect for the ordinary Nazi soldiers who did not participate in the Holocaust, were mostly unaware of what was going on and thinking that they were sacrificing their youth and their lives for a just cause, deceived by a radical regime that preyed upon their loyalty and patriotic zeal - like my grandpa, who fought in Stalingrad. I reject the notion of all soldiers and all Nazi supporters being guilty of mass murder. While being fully aware of the horrid crimes my ancestors committed, I still try to see them as human beings, with all their good and bad traits.

This movie, however, makes me once again aware of the extent of the crimes committed in the name of my ancestors. I found myself wondering "why". Why on Earth did this have to happen. Why on Earth did those responsible not only commit these crimes, but also impose eternal guilt on us, on posterity. What made them discard their humanity and allow their hearts and souls being filled with the darkest evil that had come directly from the gates of hell.

This movie tells a brave story, a story that must be told ever and ever again. Seeing all of this through the eyes of a child makes it even more painful to watch and reveals the whole scope of the crimes the Nazis committed.

It is available for download on usenet in
alt.binaries.movies.divx.

I know it's been quite a while since you posted the above comment, but I am hoping that site you mentioned is still available! And I'm wondering if this is a torrent site?
