Enjoyed this, and weirdly already have the desire to watch it again. Although perhaps more for the sound and cinematography which was so excellently clever and subtle and uniquely done.

FINALLY

That zoom in on his face with those sounds in the background might be the most disturbing thing I’ve ever watched on film not including gore

Nah this was fire. Mad unsettling
That garden scene is crazy
The kid doing the nazi salute while putting his backpack on
The end scene

Watched American history x right after this last night. Happy i didn’t have some crazy ass dreams afterwards

I agree man, just watched this tonight in the theatre and I pretty much had the exact same thoughts as you

“What do you think was in the letter the grandmother left?”

Damn b\*\*\*\* you live like this?

Watched last night and wow. Blown away by this film.

Kept me engaged the whole time. Truly haunting stuff.

At the party when he calls his wife and says he couldn't think of anything but the best way to gas the people in the room

I don't think it'll win Best Pic, but I wouldn't be mad if it did.

tonight's watch

Only watched about 35 minutes of this last night before bed. Maybe the darkest movies I’ve seen without any gore or violence. Yet.

Great movie, amazing use of sound

Interesting how the family had completely disconnected from the atrocities happening next door. Even the grandma couldn't stand it eventually.

I think that's why the baby kept crying as well, probably cause of the smell and screams

The last scene of Hoss going down dark stairs, almost like a descent to hell

genuinely confused how you can watch this movie and not only be bored, and call it aimless and plotless no less

tiktok gen is brain cancer

this is a fantastic movie

movie shot like silent hill 2

Very intense movie. Like a punch to the stomach. I liked the way it was filmed, in a very natural way. The quieter moments make you contemplate the more subtle nature of evil, both in its banality and its complacency. The soundtrack was also very effective, like a hellish burbling.

movie left me disgusted

those apple scenes were trippy as f***

In the last days of the war, Himmler advised Höss to disguise himself as a member of the Kriegsmarine. Adopting the pseudonym "Franz Lang" and working as a gardener, Höss lived in Gottrupel, Schleswig-Holstein, with his family and evaded arrest for nearly a year. In 1946, Hanns Alexander, a German Jew who had fled to England in 1936 and became a Nazi hunter working for the British government's "No. 1 War Crimes Investigation Team," managed to discover Höss's location. Alexander, who was then a captain in the Royal Pioneer Corps, travelled to Höss's residence with a group of British soldiers, many of whom were also Jewish. Alexander's men unsuccessfully interrogated Höss's daughter Brigitte for information; according to Brigitte, the soldiers subsequently started to beat her brother Klaus, leading to Höss's wife to give up his location. According to Alexander, Höss attempted to bite into a cyanide pill once he was discovered by the soldiers. Höss initially denied his identity, "insisting he was a lowly gardener, but Alexander saw his wedding ring and ordered Höss to take it off, threatening to cut off his finger if he did not. Höss' name was inscribed inside. The soldiers accompanying Alexander began to beat Höss with axe handles. After a few moments and a minor internal debate, Alexander pulled them off."

When accused of murdering three and a half million people, Höss replied, "No. Only two and one half million—the rest died from disease and starvation.

what a f***ing piece of s*** bro

In his memoir, Höss also revealed his mistreatment at the hands of his British captors:

“During the first interrogation they beat me to obtain evidence. I do not know what was in the transcript, or what I said, even though I signed it, because they gave me liquor and beat me with a whip. It was too much even for me to bear. The whip was my own. By chance it had found its way into my wife's luggage. My horse had hardly ever been touched by it, much less the prisoners. Somehow one of the interrogators probably thought that I had used it to constantly whip the prisoners.

After a few days I was taken to Minden on the Weser River, which was the main interrogation center in the British zone. There they treated me even more roughly, especially the first British prosecutor, who was a major. The conditions in the jail reflected the attitude of the first prosecutor. ...

Compared to where I had been before, Imprisonment with the IMT International Military Tribunal was like staying in a health spa.”

This is probably one of the most disingenuous films I've seen in years

To take the Holocaust and Nazism and to try to compare them to normal everyday people by focusing on their mundane lives is so insincere and is nothing more than self-projection from Glazer.

The concept and the utilization of the sound mixing to execute on it also gets boring after about 15-20 minutes when you realize this movie has no other ideas

Watching this. It's unsettling. I'm mad uncomfortable.

Disturbing film. The use of sound to create horror was effective
