#Day119 until they come for me. I grow ever more convinced that they will come for me. Public executions and this type of violence…have you watched #SwingKids? It’s that level of violence.

Yeah, it was…way too Hollywood for the movie that came before (I think it was better with a grim ending), and kind of let the air out of the tires (the score didn’t help either - a little too soft, and not some downer swing song). #SwingKids #HATM

Jenny Beavan winning Best Costumes Oscar for Mad Max: Fury Road
Jenny Beavan designed the costumes for this movie. We saw her costumes some months ago in a little movie called...Mad Max: Fury Road (for which she won an Oscar). #SwingKids #HATM

“Swing heil! Swing heil!”
I feel so badly for Willi here, knowing Peter going to a “work camp” likely means he won’t survive the war and they may never see each other again. The Swing Kids were an inspiration, but also could have done more. We should all take that lesson to heart

They weren't full on sending the Swingjugend to camps in 1939 (though plausible that Peter fighting a Nazi would get him in some trouble), but would in 1941 and later: holocaustmusic.ort.org/politics-and...

Yeah, that feels like the most implausible part of the scene (though I don't know if there is any proof of the Nazis sending boxes full of ashes to widows). #SwingKids #HATM

The Café Bismarck is so much more subdued now. It’s been what, maybe 6-7 months since the films opening scene? It definitely shows how steadily and pervasively Nazism took over its own nation.

And now, he gets the spot suit back out, and is becoming himself, his own person, once more. I’m proud of him for that. And for still protecting Willi as much as he can.

I love this scene. It refreshes Peter’s humanity and expands his understanding of his father.

As a postal worker, I am horrified that Peter is opening parcels. Horrified for other reasons as well, but you do not open packages addressed to other people. #SwingKids #HATM

When you are told everything you are assigned to do is an honor, that’s a clue that there is no honor.

Thomas was bought by praise and shiny things. And willing to be ignorant to the consequences.

Box Office Mojo annual chart 1993, #1-10
On the other hand, Schindler's List will wind up as #9 on the 1993 annual box office chart, albeit about nine months after this. #SwingKids #HATM

They didn't say back where, exactly, just presumably not there. #SwingKids #HATM

One of the things the film doesn't go into is that the Swingjugend (the swing kids) was a much larger movement (not just the upper-class kids), and was a site of resistance (with some connections to other youth resistance like the White Rose). swungover.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/s...

The Nazis killed Arvid by killing his spirit and quashing his will.

Arvid sees what’s happening clearly. Good for him for speaking out about the situation. But he may not survive to see 1940.

The venues have gotten smaller as the swing kids community is persecuted and pushed deeper underground. And that’s quite the battle of wills.

Ah yes, now you’re in deep enough they expect you to report on anyone and everyone who says anything critical against the regime.
And now we are truly on the brink of war here.

Oof. Thomas doesn’t even realize how deeply indoctrinated he’s become in the H.J.
