Cassimere Good

The film was entitled Good because the protagonist of the movie has the idea that he is a good man throughout the movie. In the beginning of the film, he prides himself on his moral values. As the movie progresses, he does not seem to realize that his morals have become skewed since he began working for the S.S. He continues to think that he is not one of the Nazis despite the fact that he has joined the party. He does not fully associate himself with the Nazi Party so he thinks that he still is the same man he was before he joined the party.

The film’s title may also be attributed to the way the meaning of the word “good” is manipulated and changed by the propaganda and ideals put out by the members of the Nazi party. They believe that they are doing the right thing and are contributing to humanity and to Germany. The Nazis also believe that they are above everyone else because of their elite moral and ethical standards; they even go as far as to say that the rules do not apply to them. They continue to push their nationalist, socialist, and anti-Semitic views onto John and he hesitantly buys into it. The more John is around them, the more he becomes like them, and his idea of what is “good” becomes more skewed.

The picture represents a point in the movie where it is apparent that John’s morals have become something other than what they used to be. In the beginning of the movie, he was a loyal and dedicated husband and father who refused to join the Nazi party because of his beliefs and because of his Jewish friend. At this point in the movie he is a high-ranking member of the Party and is married to the woman he had an affair with. He believes that he is still a good man because he did the right thing by his wife and divorced her and made an honest woman out of this lady on the side. In this scene, John is approached by his ex-father-in-law who announces that he fears for the party because of its acceptance of a man with “such moral weakness,” an ironic statement considering the actions of the party. It is shortly after this scene when John is informed that the rules do not apply to him.

The film was most likely not distributed in the United States because it depicts a government that controls the information that reaches its agents and the media, hiding the truth form the majority. The United States government has done this on a few occasions, including the containment of Japanese-Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the firebombing of Dresden. The United States probably doesn’t want its people to think that their government can easily manipulate them like the Nazi party did to the majority of the German citizens.
