THE ZONE OF INTEREST is a film, I think, that demonstrates quite clearly the banality of evil. This phrase, coined by Hannah Arendt, refers to the fact that evil people are often quite ordinary, even boring. We saw this with the characters in the film. And I think that's what gave THE ZONE OF INTEREST its power.
I watched it because it was nominated for a Best Film Oscar and we had to vote, otherwise I probably would not have had the opportunity.
It is powerful, in many ways more horrifying than films that graphically show the atrocities, while also allowing someone like me (empaths who have a physical reaction to watching horrors), to learn more about how the whole period played out.
For example, I could not get through even 30 minutes of Flower Moon because I know it will be too hard to watch. If you've seen Flower Moon would you mind giving a similar detailed review so I can get a better sense of what happens?
I am also shocked that Origin was completely shut out of the Oscar Nominations. It would have been my first choice for Best Film. It also depicts the atrocities but in a way that allows an understanding while not being gratuitous (for lack of a better word, I'm sorry).
I know I should be strong and watch, out of respect for those who actually endured the horrors. But the physical response makes it almost impossible.
This review piques my interest in a movie that, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have heard of.
Since 2021, I've sometimes wondered about the, uh, banality of the private lives of medical and pharmaceutical professionals (i.e., of the otherwise intelligent, competent, and caring people who are compensated, rewarded, and--sometimes--celebrated for injecting as many humans as possible with DNA-altering and stroke- and heart disease-inducing bioweapons).
Separate, but related:
Also: Since 2021, I've considered The United States of America--due to its subservience to Klaus Schwab's agenda--to be, "The United States of The Fourth Reich.") Beginning in 2022, the NATO-Russia War confirmed that bitter perspective.
