The Zone of Interest: The Most Overrated Film of the Decade

[@freddyM610]

12 mins - that's not what the film is saying😭 and it's not just a holocaust movie ffs. It's an observation on human capacity for evil. And it's undeniably interesting given the current situation in the middle east. It really feels like so much of this film went over your heads. Also, comparing 9/11 to the holocaust is so incredibly dumb.

...it's about the holocaust.

There’s simply no way it could be overrated because who do you know that’s seen it?

[@FirstLast-yc9lq]

Overrated has nothing to do with how many people have seen it, it's about how on average it's rated by those who HAVE seen it.

While I totally don’t agree with your opinion as I think the film is doing much more than just these people are normal and do terrible things, I totally get where you’re coming from. Also, thanks for not being so rude or invalidating anyone’s experience with the film.

Also, for me, not every film has to be entertaining. What I will say is that if a film is not entertaining, it has to be for a reason. Jeanne Dielman is a perfect example.

This is also coming from someone who hates God’s Not Dead, Sound of Freedom and The Passion of the Christ and is a Christian because of how boring and uninteresting to me those films are.

I swear to god this movie sucked! My GF decided to put it on, and the entire time I'm paying attention and couldn't help but be bored out of my mind! It's just an art project for people who think modern art is a thing. They really made a movie without a plot and just filmed a daily life movie about a German officer. I don't care what anybody saids, this movie was wack and it doesn't take a genius to see that the script took a backseat to the artsy crap.

[@transamination]

I liked it but I think it could've done more with its ideas.

[@inqui5ition]

Lmao. "people keep calling me stupid for not liking this movie" Sometimes people are right. Sometimes you and your friend spend 20 minutes fundamentally misunderstanding a movie you quasi slept through and then decide to upload your ignorance to KZbin

[@TheFilmScoop]

You seem like fun. Anyways, there are no “right” opinions on film.

[@carsonleach5679]

Not every opinion is going to be the same Reddit/twitter approved meat riding.

[@flyflybaby2723]

Yes very overrated! Definitely *not* Schindler's List or Come and See or Thin Red Line

[@MrDukeSilverr]

yes definitely not schindlers list, it was lacking the hollywood schmaltz and dramatic music

[@FirstLast-yc9lq]

@@MrDukeSilverr Instead we got millennial writing and film school student wide shots and dragging scenes of nothingness.

[@MrDukeSilverr]

@@FirstLast-yc9lq you call it nothingness, id call it mundanity, in contrast with the horror happening over the wall, which weve seen dramatized so many times, I found the writing to be just as supportive of the mundanity life was to these people, yet so many great little details in the acting and the phrasing and the set, everything just going on at once, i honestly wished they wouldve stayed on the house the entire time, Im german aswell, idk how well the subtitles transported the dialogue

[@FirstLast-yc9lq]

@@MrDukeSilverr You can have your mundanity in your minute to minute life. I don't need that in a 2 hour flick where entertainment is key. Also the background crap is just a gimmick to please Stein and Cohen producers - I mean, why not just have the background set as the Holodomor? I guess people aren't interested in Christians being mass executed and starved out of existence.
