This movie, set in WWII is
about Jewish children who take refuge
at a French
Boarding school where they are shielded from the
Nazis for a while.
The work of award winning noted Director/Writer Monsieur Louis Malle
(of "My Dinner with Andre" fame) this movie is nice for the perspective it
brings
in that we see folks that might be targeted by bigots like the
Nazis were, who
may
often be better presenting than their persecutors
in what is humanly of merit at
least on the surface and certainly quite
often enough in what lies beneath
additionally.
It is nice to see the French tell the tale as they are in my own view
validly
well respected in regards to matters of human understanding
and therefore wisdom
in this regard and were valiant too in resisting
the Nazi movement I might add
which didn't appear to discriminate
between good and evil on the earth in any
real sense ultimately, but
rather chose to pick on many in Europe that were
mostly often better
folks than those who were set upon them by the writings of
Hitler - who was clearly a madman even if you just consider the
number of good
German men that died in his suicide missions, many
of whom may have wanted
nothing to do with indiscriminate killing
which Hitler was made for by a freak
of nature
I believe and so goes
for those like him on the earth at the present time i
might
add .
