Read the book but could not finish it as you could see where it was heading. Saw it was on tonight on BBC2 but could not bring myself to watch it. Has anyone else read it?.

Not read the book but the film was outstanding.

[huffhuff]

Read the book but not seen the film.

 

Come on you lot, pick up a pile of paper - its normally better than the film.

 

No, I didn't cry (much)

[CZ550Kevlar]

it`s a film you only need to watch once in my opinion.

[luckytrigger]

Read the book and watched the film. Thought provoking...

[redtailhawk1]

I think it hits harder when you have kids yourself

They say that you have to keep reminding people about these horrible events in the hope that it stops it from happening again all that I can say is it dose not work just look what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians but then we are not allowed to say that.

I watched it too, a good film - SWMBO was still awake at the end which usually means it was a good 'un.

[simjakcal]

i caught the last 20min of it,,,what goes around comes around ! never heard of the film/book before....

It's a very good film. Very sad ending but what's interesting is why it's sad. If it was the concentration camp internees being gassed we'd think "sad" and move on as we've seen it before. Move a non Jewish child from out with the camp and have them gassed and it's suddenly much sadder, especially with the parent dynamic. Tis very clever.

No need to look to foreign influences fella. Look a lot closer to home and look what we done during the Boer War reference concentration camps ect. Kitcheners record read something like 38% of woman and children put in them died in them during his scorched earth campaign. Not quite up to old Adolfs record but I do believe Kitchener set the benchmark. Excellent book to read about the war if your interested is Good Bye Dolly Gray.

Another good film is, life is beautiful, well worth a watch.

germans speaking english spoilt it for me, why not use german actors and subtitles.

Wasn't keen on the film, loved the book though especially as it had been written for a boys point of view.

[MM]

It was alright. Never read the book.

[Photoguy2910]

I saw it at the UK premier, when it got to the end and the lights went up there was silence with a few sobs and nobody moved... strong film

[ayano3]

It's possibly one of the only films I have watched and not either fallen asleep or got that bored with after a while. I also liked the green mile.

[BlaserF3]

I've read the book, but did not watch the film.
