Lightweight comics seem drawn to trivializing the Holocaust. At least Mel Brooks portayed the Nazis as clowns and buffoons in Springtime for Hitler. I thought of Roberto Begnini's Life is Beautiful while watching this film. I don't understand the immense popularity of movies like this. Like pretending the Holocaust never happened & it was all just a bad dream. No wonder humans continue to butcher & annihilate each other in such large numbers & with such frightening frequency.
