As a person fond of history and WW2 in particular, I was very eager to see this very interesting story brought to screen. However, I felt the film didn't turn out as great as it could have. I thought the voice overs were overused and there was a reluctance to give bigger flaws to any of the characters so in the end everyone in this dark era looked like they are, at least deep down, decent people. The time before the war seems idealized and when the war comes, it's as if no one supports the new system in the country, which doesn't ring true. While I felt there was potential to make a better final product, I compliment the filmmakers for selecting an interesting story that is worth telling, which is more than I can say for many others.
