I was unable to finish **Monster’s Ball**. The execution sequence made me physically ill, and the sex, and then various unexpected plot twists. And I had stopped the film and run it back to the video rental place within an hour. Just . . . ugh.

20th Century History students at my school are required to watch **Schindler’s List** while studying WWII. Before we watched the film, my teacher said that “if anyone felt themselves falling asleep” to go out into the hallway and get a drink of water. I was never anywhere near falling asleep. Very well-made film, but I was sobbing through most of it.
