“A Film Unfinished”
Watching the movie A Film Unfinished it reminded me how lucky we are to live in a Nation with laws and freedom. It reminded me how thankful we all should be and how we take for granted the little things in life that make a world of a difference. There is no way that I could have lived back then and no way I could have went through what those innocent people went through all because someone did not like them. Watching the film makes you see things that you have only been told about for so long when going through school. Seeing the people who were starving to death and seeing the kids more so than the adults hit me hard, how people could be so mean and have no compassion for the people suffering. It was shocking that people who were looking for Hitler at the time amazed me with how they wanted to try to show how good the people and kids had it in the Ghetto when really there was no way the people were living any kind of life. Seeing how many people were confined to one area and to see how many people were living on the streets and to see the how when someone dies their family just leaves them on the street when they have passed away. The film helped show what the people really lived like before they were sent to the camps to die, which helps to make connections with what we all have heard for years in school.
Watching the film I am sure took us all back and made all of us realize how lucky we are to live in a country that we live in. With all the freedom that we have we all take for granted what freedoms we have. Living back then I could not imagine going through what those people had to go through, I could not imagine starving to death and living in such confined spaces. We are all so lucky to live in the United States and every now and then we need to be reminded how lucky we are.

Yes, we are VERY lucky! And though the film did give us quite a window, it can't even scratch the surface of reality.
Here is a thought? If this would have happened in th U.S. do you think that anyone would have come to our rescue? I am proud to live in a country that was able to enter in to the scene and stop what was going on. Though I think it took longer than it should have. We still fought for them and I think that's pretty neat!
I completely agree. We all should really count our blessings instead of worry about what our neighbor has that we don't.
I'm glad to see you make the connections between what you have been taught and what happened. It is hard to comprehend visually what happened. This is the main reason I show the video.
I totally agree. I think that this was a good project because it is important to remember what else goes on other than our normal day to day lives. We are so lucky that we have not had to see anything like this.
I agree, we take almost everything for granted, and we wont know how much stuff means to us until its gone.
