Prisoners of Paradise

I really liked this movie. It was very sad as well as moving. The film was basically about a Jewish entertainer named Kurt Gerron. For years he was one of the most famous actors during his time, and lived a good life. He always had good food, a nice house, and a loving wife. However, after WWII broke out, he pretty much lost everything. While he was in a Nazi concentration camp he basically made a "deal with the devil". He was told to help make a Nazi propogandist film showing the great life inside a Jewish concentration, although it was nothing short of hell. In return, Gerron was under the impression that his life would be saved. I think Gerron was faced with a very tough decision. If I were him I would have no idea what I would have done. For one thing you have to think, should I save my life and my families? Or should I betray my fellow race and direct a film that was a complete lie. Gerron was torn between what he should do, and in the end it didn't matter since he was killed anyways. This film was really good, and if it wasn't for this class I probably would have not seen it on my own.
