I've always felt that AJ should be cast for Bent (the play) and play the part of Greta. I really want to see that.

So is the movie not set in a camp? Because the play is. It's set in Dachau. A big ditch in which dead bodies are dumped plays an important part.

It is set in Dachau (or what's supposedly Dachau, anyway). I'm not saying it's not a Holocaust movie, it's just not along the same lines as the others I've seen.

There is not a big ditch with dead bodies anywhere in the movie though. They're moving rocks back and forth for most of the second part of the film.

Ah. Curious. Yeah, they do that thing with the rocks in the play, as well. That's actually one of the few authentic things to happen in the play. Most of the rest is nonsense (not that you can blame Martin Sherman, since he barely had any source material to draw on), but that thing with the stones might as well have happened.
