Zurückkehren zu Hanekes Wurzeln der deutschen Sprache und Kulturtradition.
And I like that very much too! Enough of Hollywood...
Das weiße Band sei "ein erzdeutscher Film über die Deutschheit.">
Well, that might be even true...:)
I liked what I saw (not all of it tough)...very homely...the life of my great/grandparents.
Not unusual for most farmer villages of that time across Europe one would think.
<Daniel Kothenschulte nannte den Film in der Frankfurter Rundschau ironisierend ein Lehrstück, das sich "früh zu erkennen" gibt: "Zwei Jahrzehnte später wären diese bösen Kinder erwachsene Nazis" und bemängelt die Holzschnittartigkeit der wenigen Figuren, spricht aber dennoch von "faszinierenden zweieinhalb Stunden".>
But that is an opinion, nothing else, just one interpretation.
There are interviews with Haneke about this...there is nothing of that kind about this movie.
All opinions and when you think about who was going to go to war soon actually all things get another perspective.
You know, there are these guys and gals who will see Nazis everywhere...you are one of them!
Get a grip!
