It's been years since I read Miep's biography but I know this isn't her. As if her and Jan's real courage wasn't enough, they had to make Miep "a strong badass woman" who is determined to be in charge, who attacks enemy soldiers to show them she's a tough woman no matter what repercussions she might bring on those around her. Unbelievably she storms into Nazi HQ (telling Jan SHE has to be the one so he shouldn't worry his pretty little head about it) and says she's there "to see a Nazi soldier"-- DUH, we got lots of those, lady-- tries blackmail on the first because he didn't arrest her before and gets appropriately thrown out on her kiester without her bag of bribe money by the next. SO SILLY!! Incredibly stupid Hollywood writing and all they had to do was tell the story of the REAL Miep Gies.
