No way is it anti-semitic. It shows what happened - you can't change history. Have there been an uprising against Jews since the film came out?

I no more blame the Jews of today for what happened than they would blame me for my ancestors' use of blacks for slavery.

And it is VERY gory - I very much doubt anyone could watch the film without turning away at least once. All the women I've spoken to who've seen it admit they cried through it - and most of the men too, myself included. It's not the kind of film which will entertain you - that's not what it's about.

Just some advice - if you take her to watch it, tell her to turn away as soon as you see 'the blackbird'. I won't go in to detail but it happens very quickly towards the end and is not pleasant at all.
