This was the other movie that I saw last night.
I didn't like it, I didn't like any part of it. I did not even think there were any Oscar worthy performances involved.
Are we really expected to feel sympathy for a person for her illiteracy? Or for her stupidity beyond pride in refusing to admit it? But of course not, and the Auschwitz survivor in the movie agrees, no doubt.
Is it really probable that a 43 year old Tram conductor cant make out words? She would have to be able to understand numbers, that is essential for her job. Is the leap to the alphabet really such a huge one?
I also refuse to believe that she suffered any remorse for her actions till her last breath. To calmly and matter-of-factly explain away gas chamber assignment with storage space inadequacy is disturbing, to say the least.
What is the director trying to tell us? Did she really feel any remorse? Is the 7000 marks left for the survivor supposed to show remorse? Does literacy beget emotions? Is this a morality tale?
