Good points all.

The one thing I never understood is how Stalin, who murdered far more people than Hitler ever did, and in his own systemic fashion, never merited the kind of filmmaking attention the Nazis got.

This can (and will) also get me going on how the Zionists have co-opted and mercilessly cheapened one of the great human tragedies of the 20th century for their own political ends whenever they feel like bringing it on for guilt purposes, but let's stick with Mr. Iakob Jukashvili for a bit (the boy was Georgian after all.)

He managed, throughout his rule, to keep killing people in waves and waves, based on his differing 'evaluations' of what was good for Russia. The re-settlements of farmers, the political opponents, you could call them anything, as long as you called them 'against the state' and, in his increasingly unbalanced mind, against him. And die they did. And then there was that little thing with the Nazis attacking. What? 16 mil or so? Small wonder the Russians have the attitude of 'if we choose between totalitarism and democracy, we know at least what we had."

And then we come back to the 'sacred 6 million' which are all the poor unfortunates who had their world destroyed by Hitler. And ghastly it was. And here are a couple of truths: the Germans were human beings too. And so were the Japanese. And so were the Vietnamese. And so were the Koreans. And so are the Iraquis. And so are the Afghanis. You know, the people who fought the US? The six million Jews were one massacre, among quite a few. Remember Armenia at all?

From a film perspective, I want all of it. I don't want Hollywood handwringing masquerading as 'good filmmaking' in the interest of 'oh, let's not forget' I want brutal, intelligent films that deal with the WHOLE STORY in every sense of the word. I want filmmakers who step up and say 'FUCK COMMERCIALISM; this is history and needs to be told right.
And that includes Germans as human beings, as uncomfortable as that can be to some people. Because only when you sit back and see the enemy as a man, will you ever understand.
