Great Freedom (2021)
6/10
Great story but still holding back

Warning: Spoilers
Was very excited for this one as it finally told the untold story about the massive injustice done by both Western Germany as Nazi Germany.

I mean we are talking about black pages in history and the fact they needed to show a victim with an intact camp tattoo before the German government under Angela Merkel finally decided to recognize the article 175 victims that were send of to the Nazi camps.

But then you get this film where we learn the main character has such a tattoo, that he was send directly from the concentration camps to another prison but that's it. For the rest the movie never goes on telling what exactly happened to 175 victims in the Nazi camps.

No we only show a 175 victim under Western Germany that worst case gets send of into an isolation cell.

And then I'm thinking, what are you trying to achieve here? A first step in showing these untold stories? Or trying to to keep it like it was bad but not that bad?
