Hosive

one of the most innocently haunting movies i have ever seen. this is the holocaust through the eyes of youth…asking ominous questions that we as the adults watching know the answers to but the adults on the screen seem to deny. there are the horrfic details that we recognize but are mysteries to the children: the “pajamas” that the jews wear, the smoke from the chimneys, the stench from the “farm”, the disappearing family members.

in the midst of this horror is the beautiful friendship between the children of predator and prey.

i will not say any more as to not ruin your viewing…..but that this is not as brutal as schindler’s list or saving private ryan but raises the same important issues that will keep us from forgetting this holocaust and help us to see current holocausts in our midst that we need to immediately quell.

i do not know if i would buy this movie but i may watch it again…well, most of it. some parts, i may turn down the volume to and some parts i will need to look away and cry.
