The film is a picture of history, fluidly told through effective casting and characterization, brilliant cinematography, perfect music and creative sound design. A lot films that include Nazi's have a depressing and overall heavy flavor. Though this film delves head first into the conflicts that fascism produces, the film left me with an overall warm heart. It was not depressing after the end.
The Heart in this film overrides the nazi issues. This has much to do with the well pitched music throughout, and the translations given of some lyrics, and the screen-time on particular strong characters. More in focus is the union that the characters have with nature, their conviction in life and their innocence. The beauty of nature is in focus, and the insanity that humans perform in our would becomes the distant backdrop.
Well done film makers for this breath of fresh air. Strong positive message about what a life can be.
