The title escapes me, but a brilliant documentary film was made about a woman who worked on Hitler's staff. It was a quintessential demonstration of the ambiguity surrounding normal people drawn into the Third Reich. Did Ralph Fiennes see this film when preparing for his role in The Reader?
It always makes me laugh when the interviewer talks more than the interviewed..
THE EXPLOITER
Got a sexy story
Suitable for the screen
Lacking only depth
In any single scene?
Take the trendy shortcut
On which nobody's lost
And cunningly just drop it
In the holocaust.
Ralph Fiennes sound is perfect.
I like this place.Although I don't know much English.
