Forgotten Souls

1)  I thought this film was confusing at first, but once you were comfortable with the plot, it turned again and manipulated the viewer again.  It did a good job showing how haunting the Holocasut was not only to the Jews but to the Nazis (rightfuly so).

2)  The film did a good job converying the horror of the people that went through the Holocaust.  It shows how powerful the post-traumatic stress was.

3)  At first I felt manipulated and good that at the end that the Nazi commited suicude.  However, a life is a life and I don't think two wrongs make a right.  Yes he killed many people, however killing himself was greedy.  He should have to endure and go through the hell of remembering the things that happened in the Holocaust.  That was enough punishment in itself; to not be able to go through day to day life without not thinking of the terrors that happened.  I also think it was ironic that his pijamas looked like the clothes the Jews wore in the labor camps.
