Motsinger--It's All GOOD (to the untrained eye)

"Good," interesting name for an even more interesting movie. The title implies that the main character, Halder, has to compromise his good for the illusion of good created by the Nazi party. Having Halder express the Nazi's ideals through writing is a prime example-- evil is usually associated with savagery, but if the party has academic professors, like Halder, they can shroud their malice.

I cannot think of any legitimate reason for why "Good," content wise, would not be distributed in America. "Good", being produced by European filmmakers, definitely could have impacted the lack of distribution elsewhere.

The photograph of Halder and Anne at the dinner party epitomizes the Nazi party. Halder and Anne are both dressed formally, representing how the Nazi's could dress their horrifying cruelties to look like sophisticated human beings-- the wolf in sheep's clothing, if I may. The tight framing around the couple clearly states how Halder has gotten so involved in the Nazi party, that there is no way out. As Viggo Mortenson said during an interview on "Good," Halder is like a frog in boiling water-- if you put a frog in water and slowly begin to warm the water up, the frog will do nothing; Halder was slowly consumed by the Nazi party, and by the time he arrived to the concentration camp, he was in too deep.
