movies...
i went to see shutter island today, partially because i find most leonardo dicaprio movies very good and also because i was intgruied by the story. the movie was really good, made better by the fact that i got to use the cinema tickets i had won in the raffle last week! (i was so chuffed! i hardly even win anything!!) but without giving anything away, i'm still not sure which story in the movie was true! it was one of those movies that has a twist in it that leaves you wondering what really happened for the first 90 percent of the movie!
the one disappoint of the movie is that part of it is flashbacks to the liberation of dachau concentration camp and i'm pretty sure that they used auschwitz concentration camp for the filming. the two camps look nothing like each other at all! and they had the infamous auschwitz (Arbeit macht frei)sign as the US army entered the camp. it's like um please check your filming locations before claiming they are one place when they clearly are not.
anyway, i'd recommend the movie and i've just requested the book from the library so i'll see if the book is anygood as well.
