Having seen it in the cinema, and then on TV, I must say that this
was the only
film I ever saw that me feel shocked (though Glory was quite impressive too, I
think it came to late on TV to make me feel so.). If you haven’t seen
it yet, I
very much encourage you to do. From what I hear, several German schools have
demanded of the teachers that they take their classes into the movie.
