Reply #53: Exact Parallell With This Film and [View All]

the screenings of All Quiet on the Western Front back in Germany.

AQotWF is a silent film, very moving and very well done. It was an anti war film in the 1920's or 30's (can't remember which) and when it was released in Germany, the Nazi Brownshirts did *exactly* the same thing: demonstrated in front of the theaters, released mice into the auditoriums to disrupt audiences and attacked moviegoers.

They also brought pressure to bear on theater owners not to show the film, pontificated against it in the press and threatened violence against anyone caught watching it.

Google the title and the word Nazi and you'll see.

Fahrenheit 9/11 and All Quiet on the Western Front are under the exact same attack from the exact same factions for the exact same reasons!
