the scene where billy watches the wwii film backwards would be excellent to see on film
this part of the book was quite moving
i thought it felt very innocent
the idea of having the video backwards really intrigued me as it shows an almost childish way of seeing war
not to mention billy and his extrapolating
having every human shrink into a baby until only adam and eve remained was absolutely incredible
i had to put the book down and just think for quite some time after reading this passage
since i found this part so interesting, i would really like to see a film adaptation
its always nice to see someone make your imagination a reality (think harry potter and lord of the rings films)
watching those reinforced the connections i had with those books
in the same way, seeing the film version of this scene would really click with me
this particular part works even better than most too
it is presented in the novel as a film so of course it would be fitting to make it in the movie
the visual effects described in the passage really tickle the imagination
they are perfect for recreating in a movie adaptation
the visual stimulation would be very welcome
it would be cool too see the bombs dropping and the explosions and bullet shooting all in reverse
and of course the shrinking of people into babies would be awesome as well
i sound like an excited five year old in this post but thats just because im quite eager to see the scene

ive heard from others that this part of the novel is not actually in the movie
im disappointed
i think they cut out arguably the best scene of the novel
it is perfect for a film adaptation so i have no idea why they cut it out
