Notes from Movie 10/25

What visual elements of the film help transport you into the film?

-The wardrobe

-The glass of water on the night stand vibrating from the bombs

-The papers falling from the building, books, etc. The fires outside the building

-The model of the third reich

-Civilians in the streets running

-Kids dressed as soldiers "playing" war in the streets

-Debris and chaos in the streets

-The clouds of smoke that fills the air

-The faces of the wounded crying out for help

-The fact that the children did not cry out for help

-The bare bodies of the dead piled on top of one another

-The elders lying in bed defeated

-The bullet shot through the soldiers head

-The child's face when he realized war is not a game (when he saw the soldier he had just talked with dead from a bullet to the head)

-The two men shooting themselves after learning of their surrender

-The blank faces/blank stares

**The statistics/ at the end (white font against black background) "...50 million lives lost**
