Went to the dentist for a couple fillings and then went out to see Zone of Interest. Around the time I got here, my mouth started hurting like a motherfucker. They should really give you like one Vicodin after this.
Maybe it's actually good to watch a Holocaust movie in agonizing pain? Wish me luck Hexbears
Such a great idea to use almost entirely ambient sounds for the soundtrack. Very effective, I don't think any music could be as harrowing silence pierced by occassional sound of screams and gunshots.
I'd be watching this today if I wasn't sick. Would appreciate a review!
Banger alert. An incredible watch, could have been twice as long. See this one in theaters if you get a chance
Death to fascists
That movie fucked me up so bad. Not sure if the director meant for it to parallel what’s happening in Gaza, the US-Mexican border, and the US prison system. Regardless, it made me a million times more cynical towards the western media’s hypocrisy. I’m so done with pedantic debates about what does and doesn’t constitute a concentration camp, a genocide, a war crime, a crime against humanity, etc. It’s impossible to reason with fascists. They will stay stubbornly stuck in their little hero fantasy until the very end.
There are too many love stories about nazis. I don't fucking care.
A love story?
You should be fucking embarrassed to have typed this out. Thanks for contributing absolutely nothing to a discussion aside from loudly proclaiming your own ignorance
The Zone of Interest is the fourteenth novel by the English author Martin Amis, published in 2014. Set in Auschwitz, it tells the story of a Nazi officer who has become enamored with the camp commandant's wife.
Criticism of the book mentioned its anticlimactic plot,[6] and its overtly misplaced eroticism.[7]
So could you possibly, maybe, go fuck yourself?
You realize we're talking about the movie, which is only loosely based on this novel and has none of the elements that you're talking about above?
He optioned the novel after reading it. Paul and Hannah Doll, the novel's two main characters, were loosely based on Rudolf Höss, the longest-serving commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, and his wife Hedwig. Glazer opted to use the historical figures instead and conducted two years of extensive research into the Hösses. He made several visits to Auschwitz and was profoundly affected by the sight of the Höss residence. He collaborated with the Auschwitz Museum and other organisations, and obtained special permission to access the archives, where he examined testimonies provided by survivors and individuals who had been employed in the Höss household. By piecing together these testimonies, Glazer gradually constructed a detailed portrayal of the individuals connected to the events. He also consulted historian Timothy Snyder's 2015 book Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning during his research.
The Zone of Interest premiered to critical acclaim. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 280 reviews are positive for the film, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's critics consensus states, "Dispassionately examining the ordinary existence of people complicit in horrific crimes, The Zone of Interest forces us to take a cold look at the mundanity behind an unforgivable brutality."
