Later "Nuit et brouillard" in that same course You are confusing "art" with entertainment. Piss Christ and Nuit et brouillard are government subsidized art, Star Wars is entertainment. Try not to confuse the two.

Cannot agree.
When one compares "nuit et brouilard" with "Hiroshima mon amour" it is apparant that the horrors of war are completely relative.
Is the loss of millions of lives by alleged war mongers comparable to the loss of a single life because of power hungry military leaders? It is a question worth consideration.
I wish that I had more time to elaborate on the analysis of these two films in particular. Right now that is simply not possible for me.
Meanwhile, there have been some great propagandist artists who live under the guise of artists. In recent days they have become so incredibly transparent in their endeavors.
My God, a freaking asshole retard lying piece of human waste known as Michael Moore is getting rewards by artists for his vile garbage assailing his country of birth and it's leadership. Future pupils in public schools are going to be told that this vessel of propaganda and dung is some sort of a hero. It is shameful.
Are the architects of the slaughter of millions of innocents, millions of times more evil than the ones responsible for the unjust killing of a single person?
Profound questions raised by some of those Frenchy producers.

"Nuit et brouillard" In English.." Night and fog" is pretty much a cinema verite documentary concerning film evidence of the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps.
It is pretty gruesome stuff to watch, and I have found that 20 minute or so film to be quite unsettling. More so than the benign Spielberg film "Schindler's list" which I thank you will not watch again just as a few other flicks which are rather nightmarish in their content. I am not in denial, I just do not need that crap in my life. I already know it is real.
Regarding "Night and Fog" there is a commentary in French, but it is scarcely government subsidized art. Perhaps you have it confused with something else.
Oh, and perhaps there are some who find film documentation of war atrocities to be boring, but frankly, I am not interested in the opinion of such juveniles, and I certainly do not care what such might think of me.
