Yeah, I read other reviews that pointed out that this movie has holes and is dated. But it is also current in how easily fascism can find your soft spots and manipulate your thinking by mouthing slogans you want to hear. That evil will masquerade in order to reach its selfish ends. I kept wondering when the kid would get beat up by his peers. I also wondered how mistreated he must have been by the Nazis for his father's crimes against fascism. In reality I think he might have been beaten sooner. There are some great revelations at the end when adults realize they've been had by their hope for themselves and the brat. Unfortunately the movie continues and gives the audience a neatly wrapped propaganda message. Still it also points out that torture and mistreatment can screw up the brain and maybe with treatment that can be fixed. To me the movie pointed out that, as my father, a WWII vet said, "Maybe the fascists actually won the war after all."
