Welcome to the board nanadab!I have enjoyed this book and movie for years. It has caused me to think and try to understand the nature of evil. Ian McKellan was wonderful as the german officer. Mr King did well in writing something that will cause us to use our minds.
Lots of different topics to contribute to, hope you enjoy the community.Thank you! Hope to keep coming back.
yes, its very underrated and overlooked. I am not sure why. Its very well done with an art house feel. Love McKellan in the German officer role. He is always a class act. And Brad Renfro is very creepy in the lead role. It is well researched too. So chilling. And to think its based on an event that is not fictional. That is the really scary part. The wholesale slaughter of millions, for no reason at all.I have enjoyed this book and movie for years. It has caused me to think and try to understand the nature of evil.

His career sure started out hot....The Client, Sleepers, Apt Pupil, Bully were all impressive performances.Sad how Brad Renfro ended up. He was a really talented young man.
