Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Against stupidity we have no defense
Synopsis
As the world teeters on the brink of destruction, Dietrich Bonhoeffer joins a deadly plot to assassinate Hitler, risking his faith and fate to save millions of Jews from genocide. Niemoeller’s actor August Diehl previously portrayed an SS Gestapo officer in Merciless Scum (2009) and a German citizen resisting conscription into the German army in Hidden Life (2019)..
Reasoning is of no use
Neither protest nor force can touch it. Facts that contradict personal prejudices may simply be disbelieved – indeed, a fool may counter them by criticizing them, and if they are indisputable, they may simply be dismissed as trivial exceptions.
Although the pacing at the beginning could have benefited from tighter editing, the narrative quickly finds its footing, drawing the audience into its moral and emotional depths
This film is a powerful and well-crafted study of one man and his deeply held beliefs, delivering a poignant message about the moral responsibility of speaking out against wrongdoing. The story is compelling, with themes that resonate on a deep ethical level: the idea that silence in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.
The performances are remarkable, with the actors bringing real authenticity and intensity to their roles
What also stands out is the unexpected production value – far exceeding typical expectations for a film of this nature. It’s a thought-provoking and beautifully crafted piece of cinema that stays with you long after the credits roll.
