The premise that a kid in a Hitler youth camp realises things aren't quite the way they are telling him it is?

I think it was suffering a bit of a identity crisis between being a comedy and a sort of factual realisation.

Cant think how better to put it this early in the morning.

Post by: Grasshopper on February 12, 2020, 02:06:18 pm: The film didn't really work for me either.

It actually felt like two entirely different films that had been spliced together. And whilst each film could have worked in isolation, they didn't really gel together very well.

That's not to say you can't mix comedy and serious drama. But, for me at least, the comedy elements needed to have been a lot darker and understated to have worked. Parts of this film are genuinely quite harrowing, and you can't really say that about The Producers.

Glad you liked it - wifey wants to see this over the weekend. I don't know anything about it.

It is VERY Wes Anderson, which is fine because I'm a fan of his work as well.
