Before It Ends

Before It Ends is an excellent film about a dark chapter in Denmark's history. It hits right where it hurts. This is well illustrated by Johannes' review, where he criticizes the film for being filled with bias and portraying the resistance movement as villains. Johannes apparently believes that everything is black and white in war. I completely disagree with that premise. Children are always innocent in war and always deserve good treatment. Unfortunately, this wasn't how the Danes saw it during World War II, when several German children died in Danish refugee camps because the Danes refused to help them. In fact, twice as many German children died in the refugee camps as Danish soldiers and civilians combined. This is a stain on Danish history, even though Denmark was occupied by Germany at the time.
