In three introductary scenes we are intoduced to three men. The main character, Josef, is a simple man with a layed back attitude. Horst is the ass-kissing weasel. David is the Jew getting caught up in the nightmare that is the Holcaust. This is a movie about how these men survive and how they need each other in order to succeed. In a movie that's just as funny as it is deeply moving I was swept up in its tale. Grade: A.
Spoiler: I want to discuss the DVD case picture. I'm sure there are those who would say that it doesn't spoil anything but I feel it does. I foretells that Josef will have a kid someday. I know it's a great picture, but find something else besides that which gives away the ending.
My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.
