I have mixed feelings about this kind of thing. It's very clever (except the orange coat) but as a subject, I'm just not comfortable.

But perhaps that's the point?

Its meant to be a scene from Schindler's List

Never watched the film. Probably because it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Is it a montage of models and real people/actors, Steve ?
It just 'looks wrong' from a photographic perspective. :-\
Whatever it is...It's disturbing....Which is probably the whole point, as fsn says.

Absolutely hammers home one of Speilbergs more disturbing images, but not sure I like it, but it is very well done.

Hats off to whoever did this. A clever and well executed take on a thought provoking subject.

Lest we forget.

Not like similar things aren't happening now.

I can't see it as a war diorama. Horrible though war is, it feels almost clean and honest beside industrialised genocide. But well modelled, that one.

I think we've had much the same reaction as to the "railway truck" diarama of a few months ago.

Which thread was that absolutely stonking piece of work of some larger Vietnam War figures in ?
The one where I couldn't believe the foliage wasn't real.
I want to have another look at that....Any ideas folks ?

I'll have a trawl around the forum at some stage, Steve....Just not absolutely sure where to start looking....
Shouldn't take too long.
Ta for checking anyway.
