Fantasy in poor taste - Insulting to the millions dead

Rating: 1/10 (1 August 2009)

How on earth this awful film got so many awards in beyond me...
...Was their thinking "Its a movie vaguely involving the holocaust so it must be worthy of our shiny gongs"? This film is a vacuous flight of fantasy in very, very poor taste. It re-writes the holocaust as a not-very-nice-but-manageable experience which is nothing short of a sin. It dilutes the naked truth of what is possibly one of the most important events in modern history.
Millions of people were horribly killed but this film edits that startling reality into nothing more than a cheap feel good soap opera. Don't get me wrong I loved "Spring time in Hitler" and can even excuse jokes about the holocaust but what bugs me about this film is it is trying on some level to be realistic and it falls so far short its criminal.
