Yeah, this is definitely the Hollywood version of something like Zone of Interest.
When I saw the film for the first time a few months ago, I was SHOCKED. It made me sad, yet mad, but also I understand why the ending happened the way it was. It was from the lens of Bruno who was naive and they really did a good job of presenting that in the film!
So something I've heard is that a ton of the people in Germany had no idea what was actually happening in the concertation camps. A) it was because the camps for the average citizen that wasnt military had no clue it was a thing and b) for the family of people who were in the military were told like the propaganda film shows and the soldiers who were in the camps etc were forced to secrecy. This is why after WW2 the allies forced German citizens to see the concertation camps after the war and many Germans were aghast at what had happened.
yeah I've heard that and that makes sense. Specifically the wife living next to Auschwitz not realizing what it happening is what I don't believe.
@@WhytheBookWins true but there is a part of Human nature that will sometimes blind itself to stuff it doesn't want to see.
Read this book when I was younger it was so sad 😢 i never brought myself to watch the movie. Great analysis 🎬📚
Yeah I don't think the movie is worth watching. Glad you liked the video!
Great video, and refreshing. I like that you touched on the cheapness/cheesiness of trying to make the mom more likable, when it's highly unlikely that she wouldn't have supported her husband in his role. I've seen the movie, but had no plans to read the book....this may have changed my mind. :) Have you considered branching out to review movies on their own? I would have liked to hear your take on 'Jojo Rabbit' (I saw that movie twice, and LOVED it. It was so quirky and full of heart, without getting into sappy/cheesy territory, as so many Holocaust films do.)
Thanks! And Jojo Rabbit is based on a book as well! Another one I keep wanting to cover, but I already know the gist of the book and I think that has kept me from actually reading it. (the book is much darker than the movie)
@@WhytheBookWins Oh cool! I had no idea. "The Reader" would be a good one to cover too, keeping in with the Holocaust theme.
Great video as always!
Thanks!
In the book the father tells Gretel and Bruno that they'll be returning back to Berlin.
but in the movie the father tells them they're going to be moving Gretel said where at home? Ralph said No, not Berlin not yet instead they'll be moving to Aunt Lotti at Heidelberg. Bruno is against the idea of moving out, he plead his dad too let me stay but his dad said No! This home not safe here for kids of your age!? Ralph will be staying here working.
I have yet to watch this movie… idk it’s too sad for me 😭.
I wouldn't recommend the movie so you're not missing out! I did really like the book though.
I like the mother not liking her daughter being so pro-nazi in the movie even when her husband is one of them. Actually, that was my favorite part of the movie when I watched it today! It shows how little the atrocities of the war affected her when she was far from the camps, but now that she has to smell the bodies burning and see how people are treated *in person,* it's a different thing. It goes to show how hypocrite people can be when they know about war crimes, but just choose to ignore them since they don't affect their daily lives (when she was in Berlin).
Also, the feminist message in the movie is strong, and I really really liked it! Great video!
That's very true! It's easier to stand by something when you aren't seeing the reality of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas movie is basically a "Mom, can we have The Zone Of Interest?"
"We have "The Zone Of Interest at home"
Zone of interest at home
😂
But it's older than Zone of Interest. Made in 2008
