Come on. You can just say, "Oh yeah, I was wrong."

It's plain as day the moral conundrum of going to the Olympics in Nazi Germany is THE MAIN PLOT of "Race."

Stop being oppositional just for the sake of it. You look even more idiotic than usual. The movie is called "Race" for a reason, numbskull.

Do you object to all the other athletes' participating in the 1936 Olympics or just the black guy?

The Nazis were in power and to be beaten handily by a black man while the whole world was watching the Olympics was the kind of humiliation NOBODY ELSE was able to deliver Dave. "

"We must not go to these Olympic games, to show our solidarity for the oppressed people of Germany".

Self-affirmation over solidarity. Wins every time.

Of course. It's like performing a Broadway show in the middle of 9-11.

Something seriously wrong if you care about that in a time like that.

More like performing a Broadway show on 9/4.

Only you could be against a movie that is specifically about the humiliation of Adolph Hitler on the international stage because the Holocaust was about to begin five years later.

Because you're a ridiculous human being.

Oh wow! What a great analogy!

Dave, you're just not a smart person. You can't communicate with anyone about this topic in a meaningful way. You just repeat the same crap that people have continuously challenged you on and shown how wrong you are. You're not smart! You're a big dummy!

Keep on dreaming. If you think this is about being right or wrong you are even more disturbed than I thought you were.

Anybody with a sense of European history and common sense will not be interested in this. The fact that the focus is on a game show and black people (who were not even the main target of oppression in germany) expressing their desire to win will make people laugh rather than taking the film seriously.

"[T]he fact that the focus is on a game show..."?

WTF are you talking about.

Somebody with common sense and a sense of European history thinks the Olympics are a game show?

In Dave19Land:

Casablanca - a movie about two star-crossed lovers who are ignoring the more important things going on in Europe.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - a movie about an archaeologist looking for an ark and ignoring the more important things going on in Europe.

Back to the Future - a movie about a time traveler saving his parents' marriage in the '50s and ignoring the more important things going on in Europe in the '30s and '40s.

Dave19 has jumped the shark.

I know some of you feel that it's worth responding to him in case there may be impressionable lurkers swayed by his nonsense, but really - I don't think anybody could possibly take this guy seriously anymore.

I admire your resolve. It can't be good for your blood pressure, though.

Dave, I mention merely in passing that The Sound of Music is set in 1938, years before the Nazis began killing people. Von Trapp saw the Anschluss coming and got his family out of Austria. Not a smart reference for the purpose of your argument.

Entertainment Weekly Review:

...But as the movie's coda demonstrates, triumphing over Nazi athleticism didn't do much for the racism at home.
