@@curtisreviews5880 THE ZONE OF INTEREST movie. Here are my thoughts after just watching "The Zone of Interest" and coming home. I had heard about the movie and watched many reviews. I had even heard about what the director said and felt he just demonized Jews while making a movie about the Holocaust and thus proves he is an ignorant fool. But I figured I must see this movie as it isn't maybe even about the family and more about the culture. So I went to see it. I was pleasantly surprised for the following points: 1) The father is damned. How? He stands to process the Jews from the train and thus is doing the work on the days that matter for a death camp called Bergen-Belsen & the general concentration camp of Auschwitz. They don't show it, but then the reason must be that they want to show you the idea of not damning him. You saw nothing. The director tipping his hat to his hate, so to speak. 2) The wife is damned. How? She finds a diamond in toothpaste and wants more. Why? Because in the processing there is very little the workers are allowed to take from the Nazi state as all is categorized and documented. Stealing from the Nazi state a diamond is her crime. She wants to do it more as taking toothpaste will not be cared about with the Nazi state and she knows the diamonds are untraceable anyway unless documented by being found by the workers in the camp. 3) The mother-in-law is damned. How? She realizes a woman is suffering (a Jew) who out bid her in an auction and is not worried about her. She shows no caring for her or any of them (Jews). What she hates is the burning of human flesh, the noise, and the proximity of it all to her personally. She never voices a concern for her grandchildren and their safety or upbringing. These are the three main characters and they all are damned. They are Nazis; they should be damned. Do all people who view this movie get this message? No. Some may think only of how they existed in a moment and chose and performed based on the stimuli that affected them. Of course they did. Don't we all? What is the lesson of the holocaust? Let us look at facts in regards to Triblinka and learn the lesson of the holocaust. In 16 months, 68 Germans with the help of 360 Jews slew over 600,000 Jews. The field had some evidence of buildings having been there. Nothing would have been known of the facts of Triblinka had not the Nazi state kept meticulous records of their accomplishments. What is the value of this movie? It does not show anything that would damn them. You only hear of the suffering and killing and know this man is in charge of all of it enough to be promoted to improving efficiency in all Nazi death camps and concentration camps throughout all of Europe and efficient enough to be brought back to the largest and most famous death camp and concentration camp in the history of the whole world: the death camp called Bergen-Belsen & the general concentration camp of Auschwitz. History records that the Nazis in trials after WWII and over the radio in South America while still free abroad after WWII stated aloud "Six (6) million was not enough." This is significant. It means the Nazis did not care about the fourteen (14) million killed in the holocaust. Why should Nazis care about slaying Poles, gypsies, and dissidents in Europe against the Nazi state? The HONOR and the GLORY of the Nazi mindset was in killing the people of Yahweh in large numbers. Americans today are now being asked in universities throughout our great land and through the speeches of the Democratic politicians within the Senate and Congress whether they will be antisemetic or if they support Israel. I find it absolutely amazing that the impetious for this question was Palestinians beheading Jewish babies or male children, burning alive Jewish mothers, and the fucking of Jewish female minors in cars as they drove them to Gaza Strip. It is abhorrent and explains why Yahweh's Holy Bible states upon Palestine being whole it melts in Isaiah 14:28-31 which is a time when Anti-Christ is identified for the whole world to know and this text states "None shall break rank" meaning Anti-Christ will melt inside Palestine whole not long after it is made whole per the text. Yahweh then declares in the Holy Bible He will destroy all nations off the face of the Earth for all nations will have been against Israel per Zechariah 12:3 and Zechariah 12:9.

You could believe the trailer that is is just about wanting the best for your kids. How do you like that spin? Listen to the director compare Jews living near Gaza Strip to Rudolf Höss while accepting awards for his movie and you wonder if his mother had her genitals burned by Palestinians, his baby brother's head cut off, or his younger sister raped in the back seat of a car as Palestinians drive her to Gaza Strip for nights of fun at least more than a month, if Jonathan Glazer would change his mind.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME SOME ASPECT OF WHAT ANTI-CHRIST DOES THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS NOT YET FULFILLED??? The Anti-Christ absolutely must fulfill all Anti-Christ things before being identified at the top of Mt. Zion per Isaiah 14. We will squint our eyes and say, "This the man who shakes the whole world? He shook merely the region of the first." per Isaiah 14:16. None shall break rank when Palestine is whole per Isaiah 14:28-31 for Ahaz means "he has grasp the ten" and they shall reign with him for one literal hour. Barack Hussein Obama denied the desire of women by not having the cheating machine work for Hillary, but the super delegates all voted for her before a Democratic person could vote in the primary, so she thought all good. The cheating machine did work for Joe Biden, six states frozen in the general election and nobody checking over a black woman's shoulder during the recount so even that was utterly suspect, so we live in the end of an image of his time with his VP and Joe Biden is so shady in his business dealing that he is in the pocket of someone. He came in with a Nobel Peace Prize. With WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology Tour, he turned the key to a bottomless pit and that's why an Arab Spring. We will squint our eyes at him saying "this the man that shook the whole world? He shook merely the region of the first (Middle East)" according to Isaiah 14 which ends with Palestine whole as we recognize him at the top of Mt. Zion. Yet during the Arab Spring we lost three kings in one month in Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia, which is Anti-Christ identification type stuff. We've had two times of him and he was ruined to prosper as with Trump when he had a cut off time the level of hatred and violence went up. Now in this image of his time Russia and Islam have grown in strength because the first two things Joe Biden did was cut us off from oil and open the lower border. The second beast from a false prophet (Muhammed) give their power unto an image of a beast. They have been burning down churches in Europe ever since flooding in there and they have been flooding into America too. CAN ANYONE TELL ME SOME ASPECT OF WHAT ANTI-CHRIST DOES THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS NOT YET FULFILLED??? "Barack" or "baraq" when no English letters existed meant "lightening" in ancient Hebrew and that term "Barack" is associated with end times, last days, of great tribulation in over 23 places in our Holy Bible. I don't think Putin and Xi will want to prostrate five times a day for seven years towards Barack Hussein Obama. By the mouth of many witnesses a thing is established. Habakkuk and Ezekiel speak. Habakkuk 1:9-13 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god. From of old Yahweh, He is the god Holy, who died? Yahweh, the appointed judge, and the Rock will establish the judgment. The one who was overcome is pure. He sees the evil's power. Look at the evil. What do you see? Do you favor the ones who do wickedly? Are you silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than them?" Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High." Ezekiel 1:13-14 “for the living being was like a consumed ember, a consumed vision upright, shall he walk among living beings, fiery and bright was Barack, he had come out of the consummation. The living beings ran to and fro before the vision of Barack.” Ezekiel 21:2-5 "Son of man set your face towards Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuary and prophecy against the land of Israel, and say to the land of Israel, "Thus saith Yahweh, "Behold I am against, and the drawn sword from the sheath, and cut off shall be the righteous and the wicked. ON THIS ACCOUNT cut off the righteous and the wicked, thus the drawn sword from the sheath, against all flesh south north, ALL FLESH SHALL KNOW YAHWEH, the drawn sword from the sheath, never to turn back again.""" Ezekiel 21:9-12 “Son of man prophecy and say, Yahweh utters, “a sword, a sword is sharpened and moreover laid bare, sharpened for slaughter the slaughter of laid bare Barack, for shall we rejoice at the son who rejects all the branches of humanity? For it was first given laid bare the handle sharpened and laid bare and set into the hand of the destroyer (Abaddon or Apollyon). Cry out in anguish, son of man. And my people, all the so blessed of God’s Word (Israel) are delivered unto the sword. My people! Thus I shall strike him at the thigh.” Ezekiel 21:13-15 “Test your community. Truly, also the scepter which despises shall be no more, declares the Lord Yahweh. Son of man prophecy and clap your hands together, the sword twice, and now the third time, the sword pierces, the sword for the great one as it pierces those who indwelt and surrounded them. The inner being (demons) weaken greatly, they were brought down to cause stumbling, All of them are at the gate (of hell). Give them to slaughter by the sword. Alas, they had made Barack (Hussein Obama) and caught themselves up for the slaughter.” Ezekiel 21:28 “and son of man prophecy and say, All utters Lord Yahweh, towards teaching towards this reproach, say a sword, a sword has been drawn and laid bare for the slaughter to consume Barack.” Do Job and Moses the earliest writers of the Holy Bible agree with this testimony? Job 26:6 "naked death before Abaddon, and nothing shall cover them over." Job 26:13-14 “by his breath the heavens are cleared, his hand shall pierce BARACK, a serpent. Behold ALLAH the end of his ways. How? A whisper, a word, hear the strength and the thunder. Who can discern?” Deuteronomy 29:25-29 "and they will say, 'ALLAH (the accursed), for they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall cut off they who were brought out of the land of Egypt.' They will come to serve another god (Allah), and prostrate before a god, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall know to divide. And the breath of Yahweh shall burn against that land (Palestine whole - see Isaiah 14:29-31) to bring upon all a curse written in this book. Yahweh shall uproot the land in anger, fury of great wrath, to cast another land as it is this day concealed. Yahweh our God. Uncover the Son. For unto the last, this is the observance of all of the words of this book of law." Deuteronomy 32:41 “Truly I cut into Barack with a sword, for My hand shall accomplish justice, I will turn back the vengeance of My adversaries, to repay all those who hate Me.” Zephaniah 2:12 "Moreover Cush (horn of Africa black man) I shall slay by My sword." Imagine it. People in hell in less than a year thinking this movie gave them the right to damn Jews after Palestinians first beheaded infant boys in Israel, killed mothers and put oil on their vaginas to light them on fire so that Jews could see naked women burned in that specific location, and they threw female minors into the backs of cars so they could have sex with them as they drove them to Gaza Strip, but by all means damn the Jews as equal to Rudolf Höss for their anger at the wicked. Well, thank the religion that chooses the only man who puts you in hell early as anyone else chosen aside from Barack Hussein Obama and there would have been more time for you to contemplate Christ Jesus on a cross.
My favorite part of the film was how the mother in law, who was at first so proud of what her daughter had built, left in the middle of the night in horror (without even saying goodbye) after hearing what was going on in the camp while lying in her grandchild's little bed.
That was such a good part. When she wakes up in the middle of the night…chilling. Interesting point about sleeping in the grandchild’s bed. Something about abandoning the family legacy. Thanks for the comment and for watching! ✌️🧡
@@curtisreviews5880 I don't know if it was realistic or a cinematic device (which I'm aware the film uses very sparingly), but the way the room was bathed in red light was so sinister. Like... How could anyone sleep there?!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words!! I couldn’t agree more, it’s a brilliant masterpiece without a doubt. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🧡✌️
Thank you for the great review. It's baffling that some people find it boring, but also interesting as that kind of proves the point of the film. Mark Kermode said rather than the banality of evil, this film actually shows you the "screaming silent horror of indifference". Also, if you are looking for recommendations: Shoa by Lanzmann and Son auf Saul are very good, for lack of a better word.
I couldn't help but imagine the interior life of the kids. If you're born into a world where people are put in ovens and that is considered normal, what does that do to you? And what damage will that go on to do to the world? As I was growing up I was shocked to realize meat came from animals and insects werent "weird little people" but just pests to be disposed of. It made me think about that a lot. You can say, screw the kids, they're evil... but when I was born, did I have any say in just where I'd be born? No. I just coalesced around a clump of cells in a random part of the universe. Normal was a roll of the die.
That’s a really disturbing thought the movie slips under the door. Hey, what if you were born to a Nazi? What if you didn’t choose to become one? Thanks for the comment 🧡✌️
@@curtisreviews5880 No problem. BTW I also still eat meat and kill insects where needs be, though as I learn more and more about animal consciousness research which is currently being done, the results are a bit alarming, especially for farmed animals such as cattle and, not least of all, octopuses, which are highly intelligent, curious and engage in play (as do bees and of course many other mammals).
People are hyping this film too much. If you've seen Good, Cabaret, The Boy with the Striped Pajamas, Black Book, Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution, The Counterfeiters and Conspiracy (2001), there is nothing new here except good technique and a new point of view. All i learnt was that some military men took home Jewish gold teeth, fur coats and clothes. And that the wife was working class and didn't want to leave her middle class life. I'm sure if i was in the actual garden/house I would have been disturbed. The night vision thing pulled me out of the film, as did the present day shots of Auschwitz. The White Ribbon contains much more dread.
(1) Moment 4:02 in some point of the film it is said that women working in the house as maids are not Jewish, it seems they are Polish, but not Polish and Jewish, while men working outside the house seem Jewish prisoners from the camp. (2) During an interview, someone involved said they didn't want the main characters to walk gracefully, but that they had a more animalistic gait, just a detail in contrast to the angelic and almost harmless air of this unscrupulous couple. (3) I was not expecting you to refer to Gaza. You could have shown the deeds of the terrorists of Hamas during their attack on October 7th, couldn't you? Accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza is an insult. It's like saying to the Allies during World War II: "Please don't bomb Germany because there are thousands of innocent civilians." If the Allies had done this, we know what the result would have been.
Hey there, thanks for the thoughtful comment. I appreciate the details you mentioned that add more context to the film for me! This was just my experience of the movie and my interpretation and thoughts. There are facts and details that I didn’t mention, like the ones you mentioned, and your thoughts are valid. I appreciate you commenting and hope you have a good day!
why ignore one genocide but remember another?? brain rot. we remember 9/11 right??? like 3,000 people died???? "never forget", right?? but do we talk about the 3.6 mil afghan civilians that are being killed by the US army STILL TO THIS DAY in post 9/11 war zones???? im interested to hear your two cents on the trail of tears, too. not a big deal right?? survival of the fittest right??? seriously put on your big boy pants and grow the fuck up.
love the video man. one thing this movie really reminded me of is come and see i think from 1980??? this and zone of interest gave me the same empty feeling after watching. just the sound effects and realism in both are amazing, although come and see is much more unforgiving with the visuals.
@@curtisreviews5880 it’s definitely the type of movie to push you to an existential crisis that lasts for like a week after the first viewing. i’d love to hear your takes and analysis of it in a video someday
Great review, thank you! I found it difficult to connect with the family at all except in just disgust. I think the closest I got was Hedwig laughing about their holiday to Italy. Maybe because the constant churning sound in the distance makes you feel so queasy. The drowning of that man for having an apple. The train smoke in the distance was so effective, making you feel on edge, expecting to see the violence but its never shown.
Oh the family are absolutely horrendous. It’s astonishing that their life seems so normal (to them) when they’re surrounded by terror. Thanks for the comment and for watching my review! ✌️🧡
