Movie Reviews
Albeit knowing this side of nazism, I never
A cautionary tale
Honestly, I thought that this would be more sensationalistic. But apart from one borderline almost graphic scene, this film focuses on the tragic story of what can happen when people's rights are taken away. We tend to think that human society evolves into a better and better form, but this film tells us the story that, ultimately, society is what we choose to create. And although the filmmakers only vaguely hint that the connection between the events of pre-order and what is going on in the United States now, the viewer ultimately is forced to make the connection. There are many connections between pre-war and the current state of American society. The rise of fascism, and the growing divisions within society. One can only hope that American society does not go down that dark road.
Unique Documentary about a Unique Epoch
Albeit knowing this side of nazism, I never knew the existence of Eldorado before. To summarize it shows the gradual "undersasibility" of the LGBT individuals through the evolution of nazism in the 30, and in one of the countries it was most advanced in terms ofs society.
Ironically enough some (hig) members of the party nazi were part of this, this they themselves were not more desiribe or torelable. It also shows how advanced the techniques of gender surgery were (relatively) advanced in comparison with the rest of the worlds into this small time of liberty after the 20's, including showing rare footage and photos of the movement.
Very enlightening and well done documentary of Netflix that shows some of the changes towards quality and content streaming on this last year.
A solid 8.0 out of 10.0 / A- for this one.
