Only watched the first half hour. If you are going to make a "historical" film, the least you could do is basic reasearch. To say the least, the sets were mediocre. The camp sets failed to make the remotest attempt at any accuracy nor did the arrival, selection of prisoners or their "behaviour" come close to reality.
I began to have serious problems at the onset with the imaginary Hitler Youth uniforms and incorrect wearing of the armband (which actually looked velcroed). Accuracy is important if the message is to come across. The "SS" officer at the very beginning typified the lack of any attempt to research: SS rank tab was for a lieutenant while the shoulder straps were for a captain. He had a sleeve eagle for an enlisted man and (given this scene was well before WW2 began), the cuff title of a Waffen-SS unit that did not exist until circa 1943. I won't mention the length of hair for SS officers. The inaccuracies were plentiful.
The film (couldn't watch anymore) was an imaginary view of the Holocaust which was misleading and insulting to the victims. I could not sit and watch more than I did as it was so poor a depiction of the supposed subject matter.
