A film...

...of the kind that everyone needs to see, but many people wouldn't be able to handle.

Evil, In the Name of God

The last time I remember walking out of a film in this sort of stunned silence was when I went with a friend to see Schindler's List. I wasn't stunned by the story of the change in Oskar Schindler or by his courageous decisions, but by the brutality and complete evil of the Nazis and by their atrocities. Being confronted by evil at work has a way of stunning one into speechlessness...
