@coryboy345 sorry that the usa don't acknowledge what it did in WW2 like theft and rape... the usa will never want to hear that the germans didn't know what was going on till after the war and the one's that did had to do their job and keep their mouths shut or get shot.
@thomaswolfgang81 There are instances of rape and murder of civilians in every war, on every side. There is good and bad in EVERY country and in it's people. Did they do it on a mass level like the Germans or Japanese did during WW2? No....
@coryboy345 The Soviets did probaly more or even Americans and the British I dont think there was a realy Good side in WWII is like Evil fighing evil and Humans trown in middle of it.
@ImperialGuard9001 The Nazis were the worst, just by the numbers. The Soviets and Japanese did a lot of horrible things, too. I don't think there was one side of the war that was 100% good or evil, but it's certainly best that things turned out with Germany and Japan defeated, and the USSR eventually becoming Russia.
@Christhefireshark I dont know realy. Would the world be better had Axis won? I realy dont know we can not guess it. History is a very hard thing to predict since we are just humans and very impredicble perhaps would be better for many people it would certnly be a nighmare for others. This things are very hard to say what would be better. The WWII outcome wasnt good for Palestine or for Eastern European Peoples neither it was for Indochina China etc.
@Christhefireshark Actually if you do the research you will find that the Jews in Russia at the time and also in America (the Communists) funded the Nazis. The same ones who coincidentally killed approx 30 million people in Northern Europe (Russian Region). Also in America, during the "Red Scare" days, Communist Jews (Rosenbergs) were caught spying for Russia and were Executed.
@Christhefireshark One more thing, Don't you find it kind of Ironic that the greatest piece of Nazi Propaganda ever filmed "The Triumph of the Will" was directed by a Jew?????????
Just a thought. Think about it.
Also today, those same Russian Jews are now "Settlers" in "Israel"/ Palestine.
WeLl wonts you think about it. it was basicly another crusade they killed any one that basicly wasnt christan so if the NAZI IS HORRIBLE THEN THE CRUESADERS ARE EVIL. suck haters bet you didnt know nazis were christans
This was the best part of the movie. It was so over the top and as his mind set went back in time to a place where this meant something to McKellen. WOW great directing and acting, if you didn't feel this scene like heat from a bonfire then watch it again.
@19putte92 You need to see his performance as Richard III. With the facist symbolism and his skill from doing lots of Shakespeare on the stage is one of the best film adaptations if Shakespeares work that Ive ever seen.
@ello951619 The uniform was a costume Todd got Dussander for his birthday. It says in the novella that it was a cheap knock-off with some inaquarities. Good eye :)
Too bad they pooched his uniform. He's supposed to be SS and they gave him a Waffen SS uniform and on top of that they have him a lance corporal's chevron and yet he's supposed to an officer.
I have to ask. If you are a Nazi war criminal hiding out in suberban America, do you keep the old uniform lying around the house? Bit of a give away when Mossad comes to drag you off to Tel Aviv!
Why not? IF they found you they got you anyway, they always hunted specific nazis. Emphasis on IF. Otherwise, it's not like they can permit going about checking out random houses for suspicious items.
If this was real that kid deserves a smack xD many German soldiers were forced to do what they did. To make them relive something like that is just plain cruel.
@hemispheres3 Yes, and the worst is: Lots of kids doesnt even know what nazi did. They asume nazi did "bad things" but... if they just read a little more. 55 million dead from 1939 to 1945, what 2012? what mayan shit?
this scene alone makes the flick worth watching. otherwise i really thought the movie sucked. it's not just that the movie strays from the book - which it does - it seems they just couldn't figure out how to wrap it up so it just kinof petered out. the earlier commenter put it perfectly - that book is stone cold. sidepoint: i always wonder if the scene in the Simpsons "lemon of troy" (S6 ep24)where Nelson is hucking fish at cars is based on the final scene in the book version of Apt pupil..?
The movies good but it kinda plays nicey-nice. Trying to be politically correct; which is impossible to do concerning this subject. But the novella is stone cold. There's way more killing in the short story. They don't even show when he fantisizes sodomy to the girl with his .30-.30 rifle.
I saw this movie for the first time today, it was great imo. This scene bothered me only because the boy is stupid...like Ian said he's playing with fire, But he can't seem to handle being burnt.
Can someone tell me what exactley was going on here? I dunno if I am right but I was thinking that he was getting caught up with his memories of being a nazi so he was taking it really seriously. correct?
the feel of the uniform even if it isnt the correct one on his body, the hat, the boots when his feet hit the floor - doing the familiar motions of marching - the arm going up with order to do so - he has the same experience you would have if you sat on a bike after 25 years and started to ride it - he is maybe even remembering the feeling and notions while in the uniform back in the day - the mind is a strong machine....things you have forgotten can pop up fresh and jerk you like a puppet:)
I'd have liked a dussander more looking like einstein, without beard and with longer white hair. I haven't watched the movie yet, but it seems far distant from the novel, which I like very much. As for the novel, I thought about this: I don't think an old nazi soldier would be so ready to execute orders in english, just like -for example an american soldier wouldn't be ready at orders in french and so on..
You'll notice it in a few movies. The bad guy is doing bad, horrible things. But then he'll murder/torture an animal and you KNOW, you know that that fucker is evil. Kill an animal - you're unredeemable. In Hollywood, anyways.
if you had taken time to see my second comment. you would have realized that i simply meant it was ironic that a homosexual was playing the role of an ss nazi war criminal.
I think he's saying it's ironic because nazis killed homosexuals...it would be similar to a Jew playing a nazi in a movie. At least I assume that's what xlifewillcomex meant.
no i know what he meant.. it simply didnt make any sense..
a jew, a homosexual, or any other prosecuted minority by the nazis would of been perfect candidates to play their role.. why? simply because they may have a better understanding of the hardships they were subjected to.
its interesting to look at the things that are simular between jews and nazis both believe their a special people both believe in marrying within their group so basically both groups are racist . if you read the old testament you have the jews commiting genocide they kill every man women and child that was in isreal before them .
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im tired of people saying there part jewish YOU CANT BE PART JEWISH ITS A FUCKING RELIGION THATS LIKE SAYING IM PART CATHOLIC!!! IT DOESNT WORK THAT WAY!!!! fuck the nazis though
yeah, except jews are also considered a race (israelites) and so one can be part jewish just like one can be part black or part native american, so in that respect it is quite different from catholicism, part or otherwise
xXxsmoke, i'm sick of people with dumbass straight edge/emo/"x"core names, more than I'm tired of idiots saying that one can't be ethnically Jewish. Ethnic Jews do exist. If your mother is ethnically Jewish, you are Jewish. It doesn't matter what religion you are. There is Judaism, which can be followed, or not followed, then there is the Jew/Hebrew/Israeli race, it exists. It's a religion built around a race, but the two can also intertwine, or be separate as well.
we see that dussander was triggered into re-assuming nazi stature and marching as if it were WWII all over again. However, in my opinion in order for that to be triggered, brad renfro's character would have to be shouting at him in german

Yeah, um, DNA and genetics would prove otherwise. Most Jews are Ashkenazic and around 10% are Sephardics. Google is your friend.

xXxsmoke, i'm sick of people with dumbass straight edge/emo/"x"core names, more than I'm tired of idiots saying that one can't be ethnically Jewish. Ethnic Jews do exist. If your mother is ethnically Jewish, you are Jewish. It doesn't matter what religion you are. There is Judaism, which can be followed, or not followed, then there is the Jew/Hebrew/Israeli race, it exists. It's a religion built around a race, but the two can also intertwine, or be separate as well.

Ian McKellen is a fuckin legend.
There is no actor alive or dead who can do a scene this good.
Its like something that was long hidden deep inside him has suddenly awaken.

When I was reading the book I hated that kid so bad. I literally wanted to kill the sadistic, pretentious bastard.
Someone who can make you feel sorry for a Nazi is obviously a really bad guy.

we see that dussander was triggered into re-assuming nazi stature and marching as if it were WWII all over again. However, in my opinion in order for that to be triggered, brad renfro's character would have to be shouting at him in german

German,english?
Its all the same for a soldier.
The trigger is the order it self.
Having a strong leader and an old psichological problem.

Ironically enough, both Ian (homosexual) and Brad (heroin addiction) would have been executed by the Nazi regime.
