A Film Unfinished

My first thoughts before we had gotten into watching this movie was, "A Film Unfinished"? I wonder what they could mean by this title. Then as we proceeded to view the film, it started to disturb me quite bit. I know that I have no relation to the Jews nor the Germans, but I really did feel for them during the filming of this movie. It was very depressing to me how the children and the adults were treated. People were starving and had nothing. I hated the fact how Jews were told to become actors for a whole day, without food or drink. It also upset me how you could see children just sitting on the sides of the streets begging for food. There is some relation to this is the world we live in now. It does make you stop and think. One thing that I almost couldn't watch was how there would be corpses just lying on the side of the streets and people were told to just walk past them with their heads held high. The water bath definitely didn't catch my eye either. I thought it was ridiculous. I really didn't catch the purpose of the whole water bath, but I know it just wasn't right for the people to have to go through. People have their nerves. Towards the end of the movie when people were sliding the dead bodies down into the dirt hole, it really got to me. I would not want my body to be treated like that if I were dead. And they just slid the bodies down with carelessness. Tossing them around like rag-dolls. This was a very sad movie for me and I probably couldn't watch it again. It is crazy how things have changed in the world but is still so similar in real life today. I can say that I am grateful for the life and situations I live in now. I couldn't imagine what it would be like to go through something like that.
