A dark drama with a very unsatisfactory ending

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2019)

Lot of question marks at the end of this greatly directed, well scripted, well shot, well acted, best costumed, make-up, amazing talented young kid actors...this film is a great artistic achievement. The poverty, the rich and the poor, the extreme contrast and opposition, the boredom; no matter you were rich or poor. Rich people with less children, while the poor families got so many mouths to feed.....
What a pathetic and suffocating story before the WWI in the northern part of Deutschland Germany. The poor villagers, the tyrant and cruel pastor, the disgusting doctor, those poor women and children at that time. The cruelty of the parenthood, the suppressed children by their horrible parents, especially the fathers. No wonder later when these kids grew up, they'd naturally become the cruel and heartless Nazis. It was the Baroness's words prescribed the unbearable and horrendous village lifestyle. Think about it: Even the rich people like her couldn't stand the suffocating life in a grand mansion with so many servants, how about the lives of the poor villagers? The unfairness between the rich and the poor when facing the boredom, there was rich boredom and the poor boredom. The only person that looked normal with decency was the lamer teacher, lending the bike then lost his hopeful marriage.
Those murder cases, those malicious things, those injustices.... on and on, never were told or solved in the end, giving the viewers a very uncomfortable feeling and emptiness, that's the worst ever ending we've experienced in all the movies we've seen so far. But truth be told, except the crappy ending, this is a PERFECTLY made movie; everything was PERFECT except the weak and clueless ending.
