[Boy in the Striped Pyjamas]
Accurate portrayal of the way in which Whites brainwash their children to the need to continue Institutional Racism for the economic benefits it provides them; while simultaneously denying the existence of the Nazism that imprisons them in a cage of unending guilt, disloyalty and loneliness.
The constant mental conflict between renouncing ones humanity, in order to murder millions of Jews, and the realization that one is also killing oneself, in the process, produces and drives the moral evasions of the adult characters here; while confusing the children - who will soon have to decide between accepting White supremacy as a birthright or rejecting it in order to achieve full humanity.
As today, Whites must reject the evidence of their senses in order to vainly attempt to deny the reality of the racism they benefit from because they do not wish to ever stop benefiting from it; hence, the non-existence of Institutional Anti-Racism. Whites need their bigotry - since it is the basis of their culture - even while it is destroying them. With only racism as its social glue, it is surprising that White culture does not experience even more of one of the inevitable results shown here: Divorce.
Loving The State as a substitute for family life and friendship leads to the delusion of the existence of a national character - to vainly replace the resultant loss of a personal one. Such polities must destroy personal ties so that the only ones left are political; all the easier to control and manipulate entire populations of self-created robots. Whites thus lack a culture as much as they lack individual character and hope that looting, genocide and rape will solace them.
Not as good a view of childhood and the loyalty bred by friendship as Au Revoir Les Enfants, but close. It fails to be great because the makers benefit from the very Institutional Racism being criticized - still existing today - and this profound conflict-of-interest is not dramatized. Who, after all, would really trade places with a Jew; knowing their fate in the gas chambers? An analysis of why Whites choose to live with the terrible open secret of their guilt would make for better drama.
