Review of The Believer (2001) by Enrico G — 16 Jan 2009

Interesting movie about a nazist jew, a brillant guy, Daniel, who hates his people because of their (supposed) passivity. Hatred against a religion that subdues the jews to their God: flash-backs where Daniel remembers school times and his debates with the teacher during religion's lessons (Daniel believes that Abramo is a coward killer because, althought he didn't stab his son Isacco, the purpose of killing is like the concrete act - and I agree with this cosideration -). Hatred against the passivity during the WWII: a survivor of the holocaust tells about his son, brutally slaughtered in front of his eyes (Daniel, nearly crying, can't believe that nothing was done to save the child). But his hate crushes with his origin, during day he organizes anti-jew propaganda and in the night he studies the Torah. When will come the time of concrete action against the jew community his confusion and insecurity will prevail.

For absurd, becoming a nazist will embody all the negative features that he attributes to the jewish mentality.

The movie is shooted quite well, althought sometimes it seems a TV film, where the development seems far and little involving, but whatever is recommended.
