However, <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Painted_Bird\">according to Wikipedia<\/a><\/span>:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cit was discovered that the story was not only fictional,<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Painted_Bird#cite_note-Begley2008-2\">[<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">2<\/span>]<\/a><\/sup> but also plagiarized from popular books written in the Polish language, largely unknown to English readers.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5>So the book on which movie The Painted Bird is based is not history. Nor is it an eyewitness account. It is fiction, and violent pornography at that with scenes of incest, rape, bestiality, murder and being buried alive. All of which takes place within the context of the Holocaust.<\/h5>\n<h5>Now I\u2019m not saying that the Nazis did not plan to eliminate Jews. It is an established fact that Hitler\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Einsatzgruppen\"><em><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Einsatzgruppen<\/span><\/em><\/a> were tasked with the slaughter of Communists, Romanis, partizan fighters and Jews throughout Eastern Europe and Western Russia. This is all recognised fact.<\/h5>\n<h5>However, many dispute Hollywood\u2019s version of the Holocaust, which purportedly involved the murder of six million Jews, mainly in gas chamber at Auschwitz. These &#8216;revisionists&#8217; don&#8217;t say the Holocaust didn&#8217;t happen. Instead, they simply call into question the HISTORICAL DETAILS.<\/h5>\n<h5>The point is that many will defend this film because of its tenuous association with what may, or may not, have happened at Auschwitz. While they ignore the evil that it deceitfully promotes.

Wherever he goes to seek shelter, so follow scenes of utter depravity.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In the first town where he resides, the peasants believe he is the devil incarnate and he is taken in as a slave by the local doctor, who later buries him up to his neck in the ground in an apparent bid to save the Boy from disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In Venice, the first\u00a0 audience exodus was triggered when a jealous man in the movie&#8217;s second town takes a spoon to gouge out the eyeballs of a teenager who has taken too much interest in his wife.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">A nearby cat then devours the eyeballs on the floor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The boy is later saved from the Gestapo by a perverted priest, played by Harvey Keitel. The priest gives the child to a paedophile who repeatedly tortures the boy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">After his next escape the boy is seduced by a nymphomaniac who is outraged the child cannot satisfy her urges and takes revenge on the Boy by copulating with a goat. This scene prompted the second largest walk-out of the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The boy is captured by the army, forced to drink alcohol, tied to horses and dragged to the German camp, with a note saying that he&#8217;s a Jew.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There he is sentenced to death and witnesses a freight train full of his fellow Jews being carted into the concentration camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In the final scenes the concentration camp is liberated Russian cavalry in the final act of the film\u00a0and the boy is freed and reunited with his parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Kosinski was born in Poland in 1933 and survived the Second World War under a false identity. He initially hinted the book was autobiographical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">According to <a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/forward.com\/culture\/430975\/venice-audiences-horrified-by-painted-bird-film\/\"><strong>Forward<\/strong><\/a>, Marhoul defended his grim adaptation\u00a0to the press at Venice, saying &#8216;only in darkness can we see light.
