The Absolute Worst Film on the Subject of the Holocaust Ever Released

Rating: 1/10 (29 May 2016)

Hollywood likes to make movies about improbable people doing improbable things: Superman — an outwardly human alien who flies without any means of propulsion and who can't be harmed by anything other than exposure to exceeding rare radioactive mineral. Harry Potter — an apprentice sorcerer who attends an invisible academy for magic users. Sauron the Great — an immense disembodied floating eye with virtual omnipotence. However none of these characters is as improbable as the main character of this miserable excuse for a feature film.
I invite those who have praised this film to read some history and learn something of the true nature of Nazism, especially to whom its most fervent and extreme propaganda was aimed. The most all-encompassing indoctrination was directed not to adults, but to children, especially to children like Bruno, sons and daughters of the "racial elite" who served as officers of the SS. The premise of this film is so ludicrous it amounts to an insult to the memory of the slaughtered millions. A realistic Bruno would not have befriended any Jew, especially one already imprisoned. Instead of dying in Schmuel's place, a realistic Bruno would have gleefully dropped the Zyklon B crystals on poor Schmuel's head.
