Good: just another Third Reich movie

Kevin_Rennie
Germany's Third Reich didn’t last its planned thousand years but there seems little doubt that they will be making movies like Good for that long. It’s certainly a winning genre at the Oscars and the box office.

The key word for this Nazi/Holocaust film is derivative. You know immediately that you’ve been there before:

* the swastika-draped scenes of Hitler’s Chancellery,
* the book burning,
* the betrayal by academia of their principles,
* the wrecked apartments of the wealthy urban Jews,
* the extravagant lifestyle of the senior Nazis,
* tension between Aryan and Jewish friends,
* the roundup,
* the concentration camp climax.

If you missed The Reader or The Counterfeiter or classics such as Sophie’s Choice or Schindler’s List, then Good will be a fresh and rewarding experience.
