Sl is completely engrossing. I’ve not heard it described as boring before. There was nothing like the Liquidation of the Ghetto scene in any other American film. The closest referent to SL is the Polish filmmaker A. Wajda’s ‘War’ Trilogy from the 1950s. The production designer from SL actually studied with Wajda. Personally I find ‘Star Wars’ boring.
There was a whole thing on the Warsaw ghetto, I remember watching with my mom. Can’t remember if it was part of the Holocaust mini-series or some other “event TV” but liquidating ghettos had happened before. And sorry but SL is boring as hell, largely because it had all been done before. Maybe if I’d never seen anything on the Holocaust before it would have been interesting, but if you’ve seen anything on it before the whole movie is “been there done that”.
