I feel so lonely over here...
tumble weeds a passing...(may be a spoiler ahead so)
by any chance if someone comes thru, who do you think gets shot at the end? It's a great cliffhanger!

Hmm... that's a good question. What i gathered from the movie is "blame" The mother blaimed the little girl for everything. You think she would be pissed at the women her husband was cheating on. Yet it was obviouse she wasn't and i think the reason for that is she was able to blaim it all on her daughter.... at the very end i think mabye she shot her husbands girlfriend.. it's a bit of a stretch but mabye she came to her senses and directed her anger to a more proper person?
sharethe wife shoots the g/f huh? yes I would agree the mother blamed the little girl, I would even say she resented her. Most of them didn't like the girl though. In some ways I felt she was a nuisance to them. like this problem they can't get rid of. I mean when the mother was aiming the gun at the little girl the father tossed her the weapon for crying out loud. I think the only real geniune relationship was between Angela & Traunitz. Everyone else had these hidden secrets like what was up with the son & that dang dildo??? lol, but Angela was like playing a game of chess with them, she saw & knew everything and was playing it to her advantage.
The only thing I think she couldn't predict was her mother shooting Traunitz. When that happened I think the table turned, the dynamic was shifted and Angela lost a little bit of her power b/c now she was vulnerable. So in that sense I think Angela shoots her mother.
The only reason I don't think the mother shot the girlfriend is b/c she had her little side fling herself. The marriage was obviously nothing more than convience for both of them as they've long since taken on outside lovers. And the mother and the g/f were huggy huggy at times. However I do think the mother was upset for Angela bringing all these things to light.
Anyway like I said it was a great cliffhanger that can be talked about and looked at in many different angles. Nice to hear your outlook.

I felt she was a nuisance to them. like this problem they can't get rid of.The girl's disability challenges the German view of Aryans. I think it significant that she is not shown sympathy but indifference, hostility and hatred. The question about which character would be what in the Third Reich is so pertinent. I'm sure a lot of this film is a reflection on the German character post-WW2.
