Beautiful cinematography and great acting. Everything else is dull. Zero thought went into the story. The movie is basically 3 hours of vignettes depicting the worst memories of a child’s life. That makes the entire story a lie, life simplyBeautiful cinematography and great acting. Everything else is dull. Zero thought went into the story. The movie is basically 3 hours of vignettes depicting the worst memories of a child’s life. That makes the entire story a lie, life simply isn’t this bleak, even in WW2. So we get a plot that goes from horrifying to just plain silly by the 2 hr mark. Even worse- there is zero character development. None. They could have had a different boy in each scene and we’d have the same (or better) movie. Really dumb film. I’d be more forgiving if it didn’t use ww2 as a backdrop to make it seem more profound. It’s like using September 11th to show us how bad child abuse is for 3 hrs. We already know it’s bad. Give us an actual story and character progression.… Expand

Main idea of film is jewish superiority. No human in the world except jewish. This is what sionism is.
