I always hated these kind of movies, though I didn’t see this. I viscerally hated them because they must be glamorizing what is a crystallization of the greatest horror. If they are not so horrible that we cannot watch them, then they lie.
All copies of the movie you describe here should be burned.
Any movie depicting the Holocaust should be so horrible we cannot watch it without going mad or at least never think about anything the same way. ‘Zone of Interest’ is a movie that might help people understand this, but somehow a lot of people still did not understand it.
I thought ‘Downfall’ depicted an important truth about the Nazis, and these are the kinds of movies people should have made about that time but it’s probably too late. Maybe nothing Hollywood has ever produced ruined people’s grasp on reality more than their movies about this period.
I suppose a lot of things people make movies about are like this, but this type of movie has done the most damage to people’s understanding of history. If it’s understandable people would want to make movies about the Holocaust but they should come with a caveat so people understand that they can never understand the truth of what was actually done in the Holocaust through anything that they can tolerate watching, let alone enjoy.
The entire concept of "inspirational romance" in a book as described here is appalling. That this is the type of evangelical currently holding sway over so many Americans depresses me more than I can say.
I'm a long time SBTB reader, so I remember the atrocity of "For Such a Time". Nauseatingly, there is a subgenre of WW2 romance with Nazis and Jews falling in love, I've seen a number of them. I didn't hate "Schindler's List". I put it in another category, because it is based on a true story, and it's not a romance. I guess for me the message was, some people who did the right thing during the Holocaust were very flawed human beings, not saints or heroes. And it was not religious at all. It was more of a Huck Finn kind of epiphany that Schindler had.
But I understand your hatred of the gentile savior, like the white savior movies set during the Civil War or the Civil Rights era. Don't get me started on Mississippi Burning!

I like zone of interest a lot, for just this reason.

Holy mackerel! Thanks for discerning that insight, hiding in plain sight.
