Review of Europa Europa (1990) by Danny D — 07 Nov 2007
A German film made about the Holocaust...and one of the most emotionally horrific and depressing movies I've ever watched...the German title is "Hitlerjunge Salomon" which itself is ironic: Hitleryouth (Solomon-obvious Jewish name).
The story seems absurd at times...how much was real, and how much was imagined? At least in the context of the film, the obvious dream sequences make us question aspects of his reality. Some of the best stuff in the film is the stuff which exemplifies Nazi hypocrisy.
..the gay Nazi soldier, Hitler "in the closet," the Spencer Social-Darwinist Crap about how Jews are inferior, but not knowing the protagonist is Jewish, the Nazis he encounters find him an upright German.
..great stuff on Soviet indoctrination too.
