Schindler's List

Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? What's with Schindler's List being such an amazing cinematic achievement? I mean, come on.

Now I'm not actually racist. I slang a few off-colour jokes from time to time (no pun intended) but I don't really give a shit about culture, religion, etcetera. If I have one problem with any race, it's white people, but I ought to save that for another post. You can see then, why I'd be so confused when a movie like Schindler's List is so good. I mean, it's pretty much the best movie I've ever seen, and it wouldn't exist if six million Jews weren't murdered during the 40s.
From time to time, I like to get liquored up all by my lonesome, and enjoy the fine acting of Liam Neeson, who's a fucking god, and Ralph Fiennes, who ain't too bad either. But does that make me a racist? I'd say no. Although, does that in a round about way make me enjoy the holocaust? I don't know, but i feel like it does, and I don't know what to do. It's fucking entrapment. It's like hearing a really funny joke before you're forced to watch someone die. It's a terrible terrible thing, but you're going to laugh because you can't help it. Shit ain't fair. And I don't know what to do, aside from crack another beer, and continue to wish Liam Neeson was my biological father.

Thank you, you've been a terrific audience.
