Okay, so...Sophie's Choice was a really fucking sad movie!

[nytemare]

I haven't seen it since the 80's. What a great flick!

1. Did you ever read the book?

It's about the only book I've ever read that I had to put down for a few days because I was so emotionally overwhelmed. It was a real heart-ripper.

[nytemare]

2. I haven't researched it yet, was this a true story?

Was it written first person actually there, by the guy Peter MacNichol played?

5. The author was William Styron, I believe...

and I don't think it's a true story, although I'm sure choices like this must have been made.

3. That was a fucked up choice she had to make!

I've never seen the entire film, but just that scene.....oh...made me feel very ugly inside. :scared:

[nytemare]

4. I know...I wonder why she chose to let them take the daugher

If she thought the boy had a better chance of surviving.

9. I wondered the same thing

6. Great book and movie...

Meryl Streep was unbelieveable in it..

7. Hell of an actress

Must have been a difficult role to prepare for. I don't know much German, but what I heard of German's speaking it when I was stationed over there. Her German sounded no different. The Polish, I can't really speak for. She did a great job on the accent as well. An oscar well deserved.

8. It was...

I haven't seen the film in years, but I read the book about a year ago; wow. Haunted me for weeks..

10. I suck. Never seen it.

Will remedy that soon.

[nytemare]

15. You don't suck!

I had not seen it in MANY years.

11. It was a very good movie and one that I would never watch

again. Same with Schindler's List

[Elidor]

12. Sounds like House of Sand & Fog in that respect

A powerful, superb movie, and I'll never watch it again.

[barb162]

14. Yes, after I saw that, though it was excellent, I was so down

That goes on my list of "I will never watch that one again."

13. Nerver seen it.

16. You would like it.

But, you must have a box of Kleenex handy!
