You are assuming that it is true that a movie audience of "cosmopolitan Germans" laughed in delight at the scenes in the movie.

I don't, considering the source.

But assuming for a moment it is true, I do not understand your question. Do you think any movie more problematical than, say, "Cinderella and the Seven Dwarves" should not be made? What?

I think you misunderstood me.

I was on a thread that dealt with that movie, The Piano, and the author (Grim?) said tha audience was laughing and carrying on at scenes of cruelty. My first thought, which I wrote, was that if that were true, people were uncomfortable at the vicious scenes. I've been at movies where during horrific scenes people laugh (usually teenage boys) I think because it is so disturbing and over the top to them, and that is how they cope. The author of the article implyed it was because the audience thought it was great to portray cruelty to Jews. I knew this couldn't be the case. Many people such as Asher would like to believe this though, and will believe nothing else even when confronted with evidence.

I meant what I said though; such a movie only serves as hateful propaganda. I'm just tired of movies and programs that bash people over the head with the idea, Jews= All Good, Gentiles= All Bad. This only serves to divide people even more, which perhaps is the intention.
