Yeah, Open Water is tragedy on a more intimate scale maybe? I think it was good, but I do agree with you, good but not necessarily powerful. Not the type of film I would watch again and again.RhythmSickness wrote:
I get what you're saying, but I dont think its as powerful a topic as say the grey zone, or schindlers, as they're about much heavier things
I had an art history teacher once who I think summed it up well. She said a good film is an experience, you become so immersed in it that when you are leaving the theater you have this sense of "re-entry" to the real world.
That's the type of feeling I look for in a film.
Grey Zone? I had never even heard of it before, but I just looked up a review and I am definitely going to watch that soon, perhaps next weekend.
I'm currently reading "The Holocaust" by Martin Gilbert. Talk about depressing...
