The worst film ever made !

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2014)

Not only is this film bad, it is also insulting, fake, banal, and kitsch and an insult not only to the history of cinema but also to humanity and to everyone who suffered during the holocaust.
It is in effect a Nazi film.
For these reasons, it at first seems strange that so many people have eulogised this film, giving it four and five stars.
First off, it's directed by a non-entity, not a real film director. What is the explanation for this? Maybe that a real filmmaker would smell a rat a mile off.
It's an American AND a German funded film, which unsurprisingly portrays the Germans in a good light i.e the REAL Germans are nice and kind people in the film and the horrible Nazis are in the background. So, it in effect is a form of contemporary German propaganda,(by the way most films are propaganda), that seeks to imply that the Germans were as much victims of the war as the Jews themselves.
Hmmm!
I don't actually remember reading in the history books that the Germans were the ones that forced themselves into the gas chambers. Yes, I suppose the Germans were victims for being forced against their will to line up naked male and female civilians, whole families, next to ditches across Europe and to machine gun them into them. Yes, the poor Germans who pushed whole villages into barns and then set them alight.
In the book thief we have two aryan children who look like they are right out of a Nazi film of the 1930's. The Disney-esque, banal mood of the film, contributes to this at every turn.
The film is another one of those fake art house films. i.e. an art house film that is not an art house film. To that effect, we see Germans speaking English the whole time (?) but every so often they say a couple of words in German, (?) This is about as nauseating as it gets.
They clearly did not use the German language throughout with subtitles, because this would have led the target audience of compliant and brainwashed drones to avoid watching it, and the one thing about propaganda is that it only works wholesale.
Ultimately, this film is so bad it is actually brilliant. Art is prophetic. If this film is the post- modern equivalent of a Nazi film we are all in trouble. Economic depression, films that are just escapist lies, fake emotions,...maybe another Hitler is around the corner.
What is most frightening is that no professional film reviewers seem to have either seen any of this, nor put it in these terms. Maybe they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.
