dream_weaver Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) A dramatization of events surrounding the creation and operation of an underground banking setup to aide the resistance against German aggression during World War Two. It nicely illustrated the angle of doing the right thing, in the context of being in the midst of a war. Internet Movie Database link to The Resistance Banker. Edited September 29, 2018 by dream_weaver Added IMDB link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Coincidentally, I watched this movie yesterday before I read your post. [I guess Netflix is promoting it right now.] Good movie. So many brave folk during WW-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted October 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 It was watched on Netflix here, while the Internet Movie Database provides a little more detail in their reviews. It's nice to find these little gems, even if they are inadvertently stumbled across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted March 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Along a similar vein is "Alone in Berlin" While not a dramatic a film, the parallel of sand in a machine is intriguing. His notes weren't going to change the course of the war, or the country. What seems inverted is Otto thought that he is introducing the sand into the machinery of the state. Conversely, it is the ideas that put America in process that is akin to the oil or lubrication conducive to fine running machine. The Hitlers, and statist and other authoritarians take the machines being held together by chicken-wire and bubble gum, and contaminate the lubricant beyond what any filters that may be in place can effectively screen out. This is not a recommendation to see the film, just a few thoughts generated after having watched it recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
