The scene where Hoss is out riding with his son and he stops and says, "can you hear that?" and I thought oh, now comes the comments about the camp, but all he says is, "that's a heron" and I thought what?!? That's all they could hear. Hedwig knows about the lipstick because she wipes the top layer off on her hand before she applies it to her lips. I think the ending is him gagging. I don't see him vomit. He's choking. It represents his hanging. Then he goes down the stairs into darkness, which is him going to hell.
Good observation. I was thinking maybe that too
I found the lipstick scene very affecting and interesting. First she sniffs it, tests the shade in her hand, applies it then wipes it off. My thinking is that red lipstick on an Uber Hausfrau wouldn't be appropriate to her.
I think the retching is meant to signify his inner turmoil around the gassing of so many Jews and my take was that somewhere in his psyche what he was undertaking was actually having an affect on him maybe he was unwell as he did go to the drs . Did this film generate any empathy for Hoss ? Interesting .
I also think him descending into the darkness was to signify not so much hell but the hell ish events of what actually took place under his watch .
@@itinerant1000I thought it was more she was just trying it on for perhaps later if they had to go out to a party .
I found it interesting how you hear the vicious dogs in the background but the family dog ignores their barks. Also the marital infidelity between both Rudolf and his wife. Their issues deeper than the other side of the wall. His vomiting at the end was him being filled with filth and then the cut to present day workers cleaning “filth”/ dirt. I also noticed how at the nazi “convention/ meeting, he seemed to be a misfit. The other officers mentioned how they hoped he wouldn’t kill everyone and at least leave some workers. Lots of hidden elements in this film. Great film.
love these details - yes i think i talked about the vomit as a sort of primal overwhelming revulsion that his body couldnt help but betray to himself - very important film x
@@sawalhaadderleysI agree , it was absolutely stunning and of course deeply disturbing .
I really want to see this.
But I’m not sure, I would be able to cope, emotionally.
My Nan and most of her Friends were in a Concentration Camp.
😢💔
They are all no longer with us, but the Stories I heard as a Child and as a Teenager, will always stay with me. 🤬💔
But thank you Mark for this Review. 😘
Yes it’s a very tough watch - you don’t see the horror - but you very much hear and feel it xxx
This was an incredible review, I dont often remark about film reviews but this in particular was incredibly worded and had great pace
Thank you / such an important film 🙏
I noticed the child crying constantly. The dog seems to be anxious the entire movie. Maybe both felt the awfulness of what was going on right outside the home. Disturbing movie. I haven't stopped thinking about this movie for 3 straight days now. I shared it with my dad and now he feels the exact same way.
Hi Mark, don’t know about you but I feel that I am living in a repeat history era that occurred literally 100 years ago. The rise of right wing politics, rhetoric and the move towards authoritarianism. The discussion about WW3 and conscription. The conflict in Gaza/Israel specifically resonates with me. I find it quite scary and chilling. Really keen to watch this film, thank you🙏🏾
You conviently ignore the rise in left wing antisemitism. If you care about antisemtism, you call it out regardless of the source. And why invoke the Israel-Hamas war? I hope you arent drawing a parallel between the German Nazis and Israel. The ICJ didnt demand a ceasefire which it would have if it thought Israel was guilty of genocide.
my take from this film is that "never again" doesn't just count for one group of people.
Amazing review mark 👏 xx
Ah thanks - an amazing film 🍿 x
Couldn't have explained it better myself. I saw it yesterday afternoon, had to have a couple drinks after to TRY and chill out. Had a panic attack in the middle of the night.. Brilliant film, but drills a hole in you indeed.
.
Sandra is wonderful, I also really liked Birth it was stunning , JG such a great film maker , interesting when RH talked about the bleeding of the lillies and wanted the SS to stop picking the flowers 🌹🌹it was a code for something else im sure .., remember also that for genocides to take place de humanisation has to take place , the humans were described as Pieces as they were in Son of Saul
It would then be easy to have no feeling about the "" pieces " as no humanity is attached , so easy to dispose of .
Wow just watched this film and there is no way the wife didn’t know what was happening. Would have needed to be deaf blind and no smell. I think her mother realised though and that’s why she fled in the night
and also I think the long blackness in the beginnig is something like a tribute for ppl who killed by genocide
Yes and the symbolism of Death
You didn't mention the audio satire !
Thank you for this wonderfully detailed and insightful analysis of a movie that looks to be difficult but compelling viewing. It saddens me that those who need this movie’s message the most will either not see it or not receive it and reawaken their humanity.
the red screen moment after the close-up flowers scene... i cant gettin over it
HARDEST HAUNTING MOVIE of 2023 and I think its the best movie of the year.
Morning mark sweetie 🌈👋🙏🕰️ wow I will think about this 😮yes it is a challenge 🌈👋🙏
When will this film be available to stream in the UK please as I can't get to a cinema thank you
It's for sale on You Tube now
@@01denese yes thank you I have now rented it. X
Sound chilling. But a must see for all.
Is it better than Son Of Saul ?
I don’t know if it is to be honest
@@sawalhaadderleysit's different .
@@deerheart87 yes, both epic x
@@TracySunshineStott Def x
Hamas dehumanizes Israelis, too.
E os israelenses também desumanizam os palestinos.
Highly disturbing, don't particularly want to see it again
You don’t need to - I don’t think - for it to have the required effect or impact -
@@sawalhaadderleysI would watch it again .
