MORAL DILEMMAS
Today's movie was
Fälscher, Die / The Counterfeiters (2007)
A Jew, a world class counterfeiter, is arrested and sent to a concentration camp. He is pulled from a death camp to a special unit that is seeking to counterfeit the British Pound and, later, the US Dollar.
Based on a true story, this film covers the moral choices in extremely immoral circumstances. Collaboration or sabotage. Quiet sabotage.
This is a great film. I enjoyed every minute. Well, 'enjoyed' is not the best word. It is rough and has some difficult situations.
I would like to see it again sometime as the complexities of the small prisoner social unit are fully rendered. I know what happened but I would like to see some more about the fringes. There is something going on everywhere all the time.
I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
