I just watched this movie and have to say that despite it's title it was pretty bad. The summary said it was about a man (played by Viggo Mortensen) who has to come to terms with the prospect of euthanasia and treatment against the Jews in Nazi Germany. In reality, the guy was a big looser from the beginning to the end. He was a push-over who never thought for himself and helped the Nazis justify what they were doing. The film only mentions euthanasia one time in a cemetery scene after the guy's mother died of a terminal illness. As for the treatment of the Jews, the guy has a close Jewish friend who begs him to help (as the guy is in the SS) and when he eventually decides to help his friend it comes too late. The movie ends with the guy in a concentration camp looking for his Jewish friend and seeing the true horror of what the Nazis were doing. I guess I expected a lot more from this film which it sadly didn't deliver.
