why would some total stranger's conversation confirm jack squat to you though?
I get the argument but that's just it - it's an argument not a fact. The choice the director made was to follow the source material and the fact that the girl in the red coat was to quote
"Ligocka said in a Guardian interview that "the girl in the red coat in the film is a symbol of all the children killed during the Nazi regime. In Poland alone, 1.5 million were murdered. The experiences of the film character and mine are identical, with one important difference — I survived."
This in my opinion is a far higher form of ART to make your point without words in a fairly short segment of the film to encapsulate what happened to children during the holocaust - and to NOT sugar coat with the happy ending where she lives. Because the vast majority didn't live.
Your argument is a fair one - but like mine - it's just that an opinion. I don't find using the source material manipulative or driving home the fact that children were slaughtered on masse. I don't find matter of fact TRUTH to be manipulative.
