I think it's almost necessary. I mean, in this thread, there are people misinterpreting a movie you said wasn't subtle enough. It happens constantly, especially wth political art.
if the movie had been set during the spanish civil war, it would have provoked some thought as it would have been a more subtle show of facism. Johansson's character could have been a leftist, the Jewish girl as well. but no, it has to be set in nazi germany.
the liberal's understanding of fascism begins and ends with the holocaust + authoritarianism.
that's my entire criticism. nazi germany is most absurd form of fascism in history. there are forms of fascism that will challenge the liberal's definition of fascism. nazi germany is not that form. it's just a feel good movie.
Subtlety is bad
I cant stand art where the meaning of it is spelled out for the audience...just my taste.
