I liked it. I saw it about a week ago and it has definitely stuck with me. The juxtaposition of the idyllic family life and the smoke stacks in the background was really haunting. There were some artsy-fartsy sequences that took me out of the film (like the girl filmed in night-vision putting apples into a the side of a dirt tench. I had no idea what was going on there at first), but they didn't damage my estimation of the film too much. I viewed it as a "mood" kinda film, where it's not really about characters or plot, but about inducing a feeling in the audience that they can meditate on.
Please guys, watch "Son of Saul", it is a great movie about the nazi regime. It is mostly focused on the whole thing as seen by a Jewish Kapo (a Kapo was a Jewish person forced to commit crimes against his/her own people).
@@229glock In the concentration camps, to be a voluntary meant that one had some chances to live for a couple of days more. I am sure that most of people would accept the task.
Extremely boring movie. Could have been a short film. After the first ten minutes you get the idea that they live a normal life right next to Auschwitz. Then nothing really happens for more than an hour. Interesting idea and concept, but not on its own for the duration of a movie.
I think the fact that it’s boring highlights how horrifying it is. Nothing about Hitler’s or the Hoss’s family ideals are any different of any human family. How many Jews just wanted to live a boring life? How many Jewish families just wanted to see their children grow up happy and healthy like Ross wanted to see his kids grow up? How many Jewish people had to work themselves to death in these camps while Hoss just watched them and got to return back to his boring life?

It is not a normal family living in the back of Auschwitz camp, it is Rudolph Hoss's family ( the commander of Auschwitz)
This movie will haunt me for years. Great comment about a lot happening in the subconscious.
Great video! "Nothing makes sense to me anymore" 😆

The kapos were more or less voluntary … and they were some of the nastiest people.

You haven‘t understood just who these people are, have you?
Hoess was NOT a nazi general. Did you even try to understand this?

Maybe still to Marvel movies?
Absolutely. And I got that message after the first ten minutes. Then nothing additional happened. For an hour. @@moff.lol.
