Went to the dentist for a couple fillings and then went out to see Zone of Interest. Around the time I got here, my mouth started hurting like a motherfucker. They should really give you like one Vicodin after this.

Maybe it's actually good to watch a Holocaust movie in agonizing pain? Wish me luck Hexbears

        The Zone of Interest is the fourteenth novel by the English author Martin Amis, published in 2014. Set in Auschwitz, it tells the story of a Nazi officer who has become enamored with the camp commandant's wife.

        Criticism of the book mentioned its anticlimactic plot,[6] and its overtly misplaced eroticism.[7]

        So could you possibly, maybe, go fuck yourself?

          You realize we're talking about the movie, which is only loosely based on this novel and has none of the elements that you're talking about above?

          He optioned the novel after reading it. Paul and Hannah Doll, the novel's two main characters, were loosely based on Rudolf Höss, the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, and his wife Hedwig. Glazer opted to use the historical figures instead and conducted two years of extensive research into the Hösses. He made several visits to Auschwitz and was profoundly affected by the sight of the Höss residence. He collaborated with the Auschwitz Museum and other organisations, and obtained special permission to access the archives, where he examined testimonies provided by survivors and individuals who had been employed in the Höss household. By piecing together these testimonies, Glazer gradually constructed a detailed portrayal of the individuals connected to the events. He also consulted historian Timothy Snyder's 2015 book Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning during his research.

          The Zone of Interest premiered to critical acclaim. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 280 reviews are positive for the film, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Dispassionately examining the ordinary existence of people complicit in horrific crimes, The Zone of Interest forces us to take a cold look at the mundanity behind an unforgivable brutality."
