imaginary witness #2

Stephen Spielberg makes the point that to make a good holocaust film, you need to be graphic. i agree to a sense because it gets the point across about how bad it was. i think there are ways of doing it without graphicness but not to the same degree. you have to see things to belive it for some people.
Elie Wiesel says that we should not attempt to make films about the holocause because we will never capture the true feeling of the real event. i feel like we have to try because it educates us even if it's a tad off. we cant go off of nothing but i do see her point. we shouldnt believe the films are completely true. it is hard to produce the unimaginable because of censors today and the viewing audience would be small so it wont be a blockbuster, money-making film.
