Yes, AI is still advancing. In a few years, actors will be unemployed.

Not quite - but the industry will change radically

Yes, I recall this film - powerful scene!
I am learning there are many similar films lurking about the world.
Based on history, reenactments, ETC.
China just released the 2025 film "731"
(I fear it is poorly made)

I am sure of that... what can you expect from Communist propaganda?

Words cannot describe the task of the slave Sonderkommando.
Using a leather belt or strap, to attach and pull upon an ankle, wrist of each victim.
It must require a total disconnect of what is real, as the naked corpse flops and drags behind.

The disconnect of reality, "Big piece - little piece" "Heavy piece and light piece"

Almost finished, 375 pieces to go.....

Shiver!

Actually, they can - there are testimonies of those who survived which are very detailed. You really need to understand - WW2 was so brutal that taking out and burying (even burning) dead bodies of Jews murdered in gas chambers was not the worst experience - by far. Allied carpet bombings of German cities (and American bombings of Japanese ones) left tens of thousands dead in far, far worse shape than what you would see in SS gas chambers (worse than what Jack the Ripper did, actually).

These bodies had to be taken out of destroyed buildings and buried or burned... and that experience was really unspeakable. There were TWENTY genocides and democides (mass murder of a certain social groups) in XX century - and the Holocaust was not always the worst. In many aspects the Japanese genocides in Asia were far worse... and in other aspects Allied bombings were. Khmer Rouge in Cambodia were absolutely hellish - and in Rwanda, more were killed in one month than in Treblinka in eighteen.

Oh, and do not forget the genocide of Germans after WW2 - TWO MILLION Germans (it is the official estimate of post-war West German goverment) were murdered on Stalin's orders in far, far worse ways than bullets or poison gas. About TWO MILLION Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death in Holodomor in 1932-33 by Stalin's gang - and it was a far, far worse death than the one in the Holocaust. The list goes on and on and on...
