Review of Prisoner of Paradise

This film was about a famous actor/director living in Germany during WWII. However, he was a Jew who was one of many victims of the Holocaust. The film basically reviewed the downfall of a influential human being due to the simple fact of his religion. Probably the most interesting part of this film was displaying how a video was created for the members of the Red Cross to portray that the concentration camps were a great place to live. It was even more ironic that the Jewish director in which the film focused on directed the film for the Nazis. Even though he directed a film for them, they killed him anyways. A depressing movie, yes. But when it comes down to it, it was quite repetitive. I give the film a 2.5 out of 5
