Jack! And everyone here. If you decide to watch a movie, watch The Zone of Interest. It's not that long, the cinematography is exceptional (also has a termal camera night shot) and the subject was a real event from a horrible time in history. We should not forget the past so that we won't repeat it! At the same time, dealing with a gut punch subject, the movie does not show the horrors. Truly a masterpiece!

@donna258715 ай бұрын
I’ve read most of those books - the only one I have yet to read is the first one. Zone of Interest is quite different because in the film they used the real family. Gives the movie a sense of potency. I love American Prometheus - such a weighty biography that deep dives into the life of Oppenheimer where the film interweaves between three events/time periods. Killers of the Flower Moon focuses more on the family and less on the investigation. Preferred the Spielberg version of The Colour Purple. You didn’t mention Society of the Snow which is about the 1972 Andes crash. Again the book gives more detail as you’re condensing 72 days into two hours. But highly recommend both. Most of these you can watch the film then read the book later.

I think the book was published quite a while ago, so I'm interested if in the movie, there were many changes compared to the novel to reflect more recent events. Also, I highly recommend the movie.

I feel bad for anyone who missed out on seeing it in theaters... it really felt like one of those that's meant to be seen on the big screen with the full effect of the sound design, and it helps when you're forced to give it your uninterrupted attention and can't pause or glance at your phone like a lot of us would be tempted to at home. I don't get how you can have the attention span to read over 100 books a year but not to just sit and look at a screen for 3 hours lol
