"Besides, Black Book had the absolute dumbest premise of recent filmdom. She and all those brilliant guys couldn't guess there was an informant and who it was?"
Man, your obtuseness is unbelievable. The resistance, and the audience, learns of a betrayal when the Nazi nut pulls the wire from behind the picture. WE ARE WATCHING THE FILM AND SEE HER BEING HELD CAPTIVE BY THE NAZIS AS THEY ARE PULLING THE WIRE FROM THE PAINTING, TALKING TO THE RESISTANCE INTO THE MICROPHONE. THE RESISTANCE DOES NOT SEE THIS (they apparently forgot to look into the camera), AND THINK THAT SHE HAS SQUEALED, AND THAT HER CRIES WITH HER MOUTH CUPPED IS ACTUALLY LAUGHTER. THEY THOUGHT THEY KNEW THE RAT AND DID NOT NEED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE.
Now, do you think you can figure out, since I spelled it out for you, why the resistance did not know the identity of the rat while the audience had a fighting chance? Tin, you must try to remember that the characters in the film are not actually watching the film contemporaneously with us.
