Oh my gentle Jesus: Shoah.

[Direckshun]

Anybody heard of this documentary from the 1985? "Shoah."

It's a nine-hour documentary of little more than interviews of survivors, bystanders, and even some perpetrators, most of them gathered guerilla-style, of the Holocaust.

Holy god. Some of these interviews are unreal.

The documentary, in case you haven't heard of this thing, is 9 hours long. And it has wrecked me. I've been moved to tears like a dozen times.

It was just re-released on Blu-ray, and I've shredded through this thing in just a few days. It is captivating.

Anybody else seen this?

[58-4ever]

No, but I must see it now.

[Direckshun]

No, but I must see it now.

The crazy thing about it is that there's no footage.

It's just interviews, shot literally off the sidewalk at times. This guy is pure guerilla style in his approach to landing sources. Some of it is borderline-ethical, but it is gut-bucket honest at all times.

It's like watching people just hang out and shoot the shit, only instead of casually discussing how bad the Chiefs are this year, they're weeping about the worst atrocities in the history of mankind.

It is so fucking touching.

[Saulbadguy]

Nope.

[Dave Lane]

Did any of them later become Chiefs fans?

Because there is only so much a person can take in one lifetime...

I'm conflicted. I feel obligated to hear their stories, but I don't want to put myself through it.

This post is practically my favorite from today, super powerful stuff shun. I love the intensity & passion.

[SuperChief]

I haven't seen/heard of this, but I may be needing to check it out.

Just this past May, my collegiate choir performed a piece called The Holocaust Cantata in D.C. We then toured the Holocaust Memorial. Needless to say, it was incredibly moving and made a huge impact on my perspective.

[big nasty kcnut]

White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki this is also good i glad we saved lives by dropping the bombs but i hate how people suffered because japan wouldn't give up.

[Dunerdr]

Direkshun posting. No obvious liberal erukshun motive. So confused. I may have to check it out.

[ChiTown]

Haven't seen it, D, but your description makes it a must see now. Thanks for the heads up.

[Braincase]

Haven't seen the documentary, but I did visit the Shoah Museum years ago while in DC. Messed me up. Used to work with a woman years ago that had lost a bunch of her family during the Holocaust. She just matter of factly stated that they didn't talk about them anymore.

The one in DC is good. I've been to ones in DC, Miami, Jerusalem, and Paris.

Ironic that a thread about the Holocaust was started by a poster with the Palestinian flag as an av. and has 'Jesus' in the thread title.

[Direckshun]

Oh, I'm just trying to round all the major religion bases. Don't lose your Buddha over it.

[KCUnited]

Can't wait for that whistle to blow tomorrow at 5pm ending the work week so I can rush home and fire up that 9 hour, overly emotional documentary. Thanks for the heads up.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Woah. $70 BluRay.

Interested, but not dropping that coin just yet.

If you want the blu-ray, Barnes and Noble has all of their Criterion stuff 1/2 off right now.

Thanks!

EDIT: Fuck. Yeah, they have it "50% off" but have the regular price marked up to $100. Grrrr.

Oh well, I guess $50 is better than $70.

[phisherman]

if you look around a little bit, you can find some 15-20% off coupons for B&N that they will allow you to stack with the 50% off sale.

that sale is also a good way to make a few bucks on eBay. or so i've heard. ;)

Yeah, I've been looking. They've all expired within the last few days.

Sale is good until the end of the month, so I'm going to be patient.

Thanks again for the heads-up.

[Beef Supreme]

Wasn't this a Spielberg movie? Oh that was that other 9 hour documentary about the Holocaust.

It is not.

It is an oft-guerilla-shot documentary.

[OnTheWarpath15]

$45 including tax. Now to decide when to emotionally wreck myself.

Weekend all set. Thanks!
