the knife
What is the significance of the knife stuck in the table when the girl goes back home? The SS officer's knife? Did Leo get the knife from the SS officer and go to her home before she arrived?
shareI wish someone had answered this since I'm not sure either. But I'm pretty sure Leo died by the hand of Gretas chosen "hero" stud, so that he couldn't betray the fact that the SS officer "couldn't manage it." So possibly the knife was simply a reminder of the fallen regime.
I wonder if the red-haired child was hers, and if so, who found him for her.
The kid with the red hair was the little baby girl from the very beginning. When the woman boarded a train with no pass she handed Greta a small child and asked her to care for her and then she was escorted off the train. An officer had passed Greta and asked her what she was hiding, if it was a pig and then he noticed her neck charm and said sorry ma'am. It was the little baby girl from the beginning of the movie that the cemetery caregiver was hiding in a coffin when Greta left to the Lebensborn sanitarium.
About the knife - I came here specifically to see if anyone had any explanation as to what it meant. How would an SS officer dagger get there in her home? I didn't understand that at all.
Also, what was it that she hid inside the tree pot soil that was outside in a cabinet. She hid it when she left and retrieved it when she returned.
Thank you. I think i missed the very beginning of that movie, so the ending was confusing
shareI think that was a key? But then the door was broke open. As for the knife ... there is no other explanation than Leo. How could you explain it otherwise. Oh some person just happened to come here and put this really nice knife into the table ... that looks just like the knife of the officer who ...
It really was a lame way to end the film.
Thanks... I think you're right... I guess that's the only explanation - I guess Leo somehow overpowered the SS officer....
