"disease-ridden vermin that should be "exterminated" Given Santi's apparent antisemitism it's uber ironic that you would parrot the most common metaphor the Nazis used to dehumanize Jews. One of the shots early in the film shows a pack of rats emerging from a sewer, juxtaposed with a crowd of Jews in a bustling street of a Polish city. Close-ups of individuals show sickly, malformed facial features. The narration says that, as rats are the vermin of the animal kingdom, Jews are the vermin of the human race and similarly spread disease and corruption. In doing so you not only align yourself with the Nazis you also paint Santi as a victim. Recalling your posts on OC regarding Barack Obama during the presidential campaign I think the fact that you would call out Santi for racism is hypocritical as well. |
