Black Book


Watched the Black Book in the Picture House today. Really a great movie and guess many gave it a miss since it's not one of the Hollywood Blockbuster and it's screened only in the Cathay Picture House.

It had the background of Holland during the WW2. A Jewish woman who lost her family in a trap set by the collaboration between informants and the Nazi became a spy for the Resistance, and sneaked into the Nazi HQ in Holland. She fell for the Nazi Captain who believed that further bloodshed was unnecessary and made a truce with the Resistance. The movie was filled with hatred, betrayal and it's defintely not a Lust, Caution movie though I haven't watched it. The lead, Elise had to prove to both sides that she wasn't double-crossing them and the real traitor was only known in the last 15 minutes. A great movie in Dutch and German and I could only capture it through the English subtitles.

Then headed to church for an Intensive Bible Study Class. I needed that because cell has been a lot of sharing lately and I needed something deeper. Just a 2-day session per month with plenty of homework. Going again tomorrow, just glad that I took it up
