You assumed I think Schindler's List is "pro-holocaust". That's idiotic. I never said that. To reiterate my point, Schindler's List started a trend of showing Germans as major protagonists. As for Schindler, it is pathetic that such a boorish man is now considered a hero. Don't give me that shit about "it shows anyone can be a hero" because I don't want to hear it.No filmmaker would make an overtly "pro-holocaust" movie if they expected it to be distributed outside the Muslim world. That doesn't mean ignoring the stories of Jews and focusing on the stories of Germans is appropriate, acceptable or instructive in any way. It's not ethical and it needs to stop. And the fact that so many of you would condone it is revolting.
Since you ask for an example, watch "Black Book". Here's a dutch film distributed by Sony. It's about a good nazi, an evil resistance fighter, and a slutty Jewish lady who sees her entire family murdered and then decides to become the mistress of the nazi commander responsible for their deaths. This disgraceful story is directed by paul vandervort with all the sensitivity of a schoolyard bully. He doesn't just break taboos. He smashes them as if he's directing another of his dumbass action flicks rather than a totally misrepresentative narrative from the darkest pages of history.
I understand you don't come to the film forum often, but you chose a humdinger of a discussion to weigh in on, when you're not even familiar with these movies and clearly have no concept why they're upsetting.
