    movie had some unnecessary parts in the beginning as far as showing nude pictures of guys I really asked myself were those even needed. The words alone that the victims were saying was enough to make the movie to me. The victims not only suffered the torture inside the camp‚ but they had to deal with the pain when it was all over.
