Prisoner of Paradise

After viewing this film I came away with mixed reviews. This film truly defined our propaganda section of the class that we have been covering . It was shocking to see how propaganda can but used to create an impression on a particular topic. This type of propaganda completely changed the view of Germany in the war. I thought it was very disappointing the way the film ended. Kurt Gerron did everything that he could to keep his loved ones and himself alive. It was shocking to me to find out that Kurt needed up on one of the last trains that ended up being sent to the gas chambers. Gerron entertained the people inside these prison camps and was one of the small bright lights in this dark time. It was truly incredible to see the amount of people that were being put onto the trains that were being sent to the gas chambers and other camps. This film also helped me see how much of a talented man Gerron. He seemed to have the unique ability to perform any role in the film business. This ranged from playing a number of different acting roles and also being a major contributor behind the camera as well.
