I thought about mentioning this fim as well, but I thought it was a great film (even though it dealt with WWII 'Holocaust hunters', and once you recognize all the protoganists are children, well..). See, if I find a film powerful enough, even though it's incredibly-convincing in its ability to portray the sadness or horrors of the experience, then I just somehow gravitate towards wanting to try and recapture that. Only very rarely will I ever state I only need to watch a film once to integrate all that was supposed to be conveyed by its production (except for really terrible films that cause indirect pain, like giving me strep throat because it caused me to groan 50+ times).
