It is scary what humanity is capable of when governments use religion, national pride and hate of another group of people to further their cause. Do it for God. Do it for Country. Do it cuz your better than them.

 

So very true.

 

I hated that movie, it didn't seem to even have a point, did you see one? Only thing i got out of it was sadness, it was completely awful. I warn everyone that has herd of it not to watch it. Sorry you had to see it :(

 

I liked it, thought it was unquestionable an excruciatingly bitter pill to swallow.

SPOILER ALERT! (If anyone wants to watch the movie, don't continue reading this)

I think the fact that a child's innocent (and relatively speaking, unspoiled) mind was so accepting and confounded by the contrast of what he experienced to be true versus what the cultural indoctrination claimed to be true spoke volumes of truth.

I think also that for the man callously responsible for such an atrocious act to be touched by the very thing he condoned brought him a dose of humanity.  No longer was it some "animal" he was exterminating... but to know that someone he loved experienced the same fate cut right through the "rational" wall he used to defend his conscience against his deplorable acts.

That's the gist of what I got, but... perhaps I was reading into it and trying to find something of redeeming value having been reminded of the truth of what had happened in a way that I can't (and rightly shouldn't) ignore.
