Interesting perspective about futile resistance
21 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
What did they achieve? After losing their son early in WW2 two German parents decide to fight against the regime by secretly placing anti Nazi cards around town. Emma Thomson and Brendan Gleeson are the parents. Emma is so good at acting sad. They both put on sufficient German accents to be convincing and still understandable. Everybody's favorite German actor Daniel Bruhl plays a Nazi again who is determined to find them.

It's a unique perspective among the recent good German movies. Don't really know what their resistance achieved though. Unless the futility of their resistance is the point of the story. Don't understand why they got to Daniel Bruhl at the end.

Worth watching for Emma.
