Review of Jewish Film Experience

The two films that I thought were the most impactful that were screened were "Silent" and "No Love Lost".  In Silent it follows a man that is struggling with guilt after he survives a firing squad line and despite setting himself free in the nick of time, is not able to save the woman next to him.  It built up serious tension as the bodies dropped one by one in front of him as he sawed away at the rope handcuffs on him.  It sent a chill over the room and was a powerful movie.  In No Love Lost it follows a strange couple of a jewish boy and a muslim girl that is stalked by a white girl covered in racist tattoos.  Her outward appearance is scary but at the end of the movie she seems to try to hide it in front of the couple, as if in an attempt to interact with them.  In the end, they notice her tattoos and take a stand against her proudly wearing there religious garments and walking away.  The girl seems disappointed and sad that her outward appearance scares people off.
