Do the filmmakers behind this atrocity know that the Holocaust began with Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, promoting euthanasia and methods of mass euthanasia???? Without God, all things are possible - Dostoevsky. When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing -- they believe in anything - Chesterton.
It would be interesting to ask the filmmakers this question since you won't get a definitive answer from people who comment on IMDB. Let us know the answer and also their reaction to calling their film an "atrocity".
shareWhat does that have to do with the theme of this film? An atrocity? Wow. This is a really sweet, well-acted and beautiful film.
I Sympathize with Lars Von Trier.
Agree with "simpsonment." Are some of the above posters speaking English as a second language. N*A*Z*S were antithetical to "euthanasia." They brutally attacked innnocents, performed hideously savage experiments on many, and butchered millions. I watched my mother suffer hideously for months before she died because it's euthanasia is still illegal in most places ("suicide" is a sin in the Church). Please look at the definition of "euthanasia"...
eu·tha·na·sia
ˌyo͞oTHəˈnāZH(ē)ə,ˌyo͞oTHəˈnāzēə/
noun
the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma. The practice is illegal in most countries.
synonyms: mercy killing, assisted suicide; rarequietus
"both veterinarians recommended euthanasia as the most merciful procedure"
You use satellite technology, put into space using rockets that were designed by the Nazis, the prototypes built in concentration camps by people who were literally worked to death. What's your excuse?
I guess we should never ever make any movie involving Jews on a train, because, you know, most Holocaust victims were moved to the camps by trains, as everybody knows.
Do you know you sounds ridiculous?
