This is going to be a strange review, as it’s for a film about Nazi sympathizers—a topic I didn't even realize films were made about until yesterday when I was looking for a better place than IMDb to post it. **Sigh... This will certainly be an interesting review.** I had originally written a review for this movie on IMDb, but it hasn’t appeared on my profile for some reason, so I'm putting it here instead! "Where Hands Touch" is a 2018 historical fiction film set in Nazi Germany during 1944 and stars Amanda Stenberg as the main character and George MacKay as her boyfriend—who happens to be a literal Nazi. (_Yayyyy! So **fun!**_) Let’s get right into the chaotic plot of this film! Leyna is a biracial teenager (she's Afro-German) living in Nazi Germany. It’s 1944, and somehow she and her family haven’t been killed despite Leyna’s obviously dark skin. While walking around Berlin (without getting caught), Leyna meets Lutz, a cute German teenager who is the same age as her...and also in Hitler Youth with a Nazi father. You'd expect Leyna and Lutz to be enemies—she's a biracial teenager living in a country where the ruling political party wants to eliminate anyone who isn’t white, while he’s part of that very party—but they somehow develop a romantic relationship. As someone interested in history, I have learned quite a bit about World War II (and I mean **a lot**), but since I'm not German or Polish or from any country affected by the Holocaust, my knowledge is limited. So, I asked Kiara, an online friend who goes by Cxnnxmxn, to explain some things about the Holocaust and Germany during that period—including what the Nazis did to Jews and Poles, among other things. What’s interesting about Kiara is that she's half German and half Polish, with a German father and a Polish mother. She's descended from both Nazis and Holocaust victims. Her grandfather was even a Nazi sympathizer who hated her parents' relationship because of her mother’s nationality. Luckily for Kiara, he died, allowing them to get married. I appreciate her help with this review. This film not only tries to make you sympathize with Nazis—disgraceful human beings—but it also glorifies them. It sends the message that "**nOt aLL nAziS wErE bAd So We ShOuLd SyMpAtHiZe WiTh ThEm**," which _**might**_ be true, but it doesn’t mean we should sympathize with **all** of them. Even Lutz isn't one of the "good" Nazis; he openly supports Hitler, the war, Nazi ideology, and the Axis powers while being anti-Semitic. There’s a scene where he dislikes the smell of a concentration camp Leyna was sent to, but that doesn’t automatically make him anti-concentration camps. I'm pretty sure he just dislikes the smell and Leyna's presence in the camp. I’m too tired to even cover all the chaos in this film's plot, so if you want to know more without watching it, check out Grayson’s Projects’ video titled "WHY Are There So Many Nazi Sympathizer Movies?? | Where Hands Touch." I don't understand why so many people gave this movie good reviews. It seems like those who enjoyed it either accidentally watched the satirical film *Jojo Rabbit* or mistook “Where Hands Touch” for satire, similar to my favorite anime, Hetalia (which is also a satirical masterpiece). Everyone I’ve met who has seen this film (except Kiara and Grayson's Project) has only had **positive** things to say about it. It’s fine for a German man to fall in love with a Polish woman (just ask Kiara), or a Jew, or even a biracial person like Leyna and Lutz. Love shouldn’t be limited by race, religion, or gender—though there are limits when it comes to age and species. However, it's not okay for a German man to be in love with someone biracial if that German is a Nazi. The only characters I liked were Leyna’s mom, because she’s the only one who seems to have any **sense**. _**Ugh... I’m just so tired of this kind of thing... From now on, I'll probably just re-watch Bee And Puppycat and Hetalia for the rest of my life.**_ [https://youtu.be/QI9jD0IrI-c](https://youtu.be/QI9jD0IrI-c)
