Another example of relativism

Rating: 1/10 (25 August 2013)

This movie is bad. It is not bad because there is e.g. bad acting, cinematography, music or any other "ingredient" of good movie. Furthermore, the movie is very emotional, which typically should be good. But it is emotional for wrong reasons.
As several movies of past two decades (The Reader, Der Untergagng to name a few) it attempts to turn culprits into victims or as some critics would say "it attempts to show human side of monsters". And this is simply wrong. At some point the movie manipulates you to feel sorry for regular war criminals. My problem with this film is that it seems to be a purpose of the movie - to feel sorry for war criminals, while their crimes are just like every day business. And this is why I gave it one star only.
Someone may say this movie is about crime and punishment, but I didn't see it this way.
