Unjustifiable Trivialization of the Holocaust

Rating: 1/10 (27 February 2010)

This film left me with a strong desire to seek out Martin Scorsese and personally escort him to the rice paddies for re-education. When Godard defined film as truth 29 times a second, or something like that, he obviously didn't have this in mind.
I was born after the second world war, but I have known at least four women who were imprisoned in Auschwitz. The parents of childhood friends were among the first liberators into Bergen Belsen, and they had snapshots of what they saw there.
Perhaps WWII wasn't the "existential war" that some recent historians have called it, but the grotesque falsifications contained in this second-rate thriller are outrageous. I'm sorry I didn't get up and leave the theater after the first 1200 seconds of this sorry espece de merde.
