Perdoai-nos as Nossas Ofensas

This is a nice short film. No doubt about. Solid acting from Talbot, the child isn't given much to work with, but it's ok. Let's just not talk about the "officer". Overacted and satirical. But that was to be expected.

From a technical standpoint: Very nice. Professional camerawork, ambient lighting and solid sound design.

But why is this on Netflix?

It has big team backing it (compared to other shorts), ok. But that's not a reason to put in on Netflix whereas lots of better shorts are for free on YouTube. Why this one in particular?

Then again, why was this topic chosen? Weird decision to have the characters speak English, clichéd class room scene, which exists in like 3 other movies (for example the exceptional 'Napola') and the Officer is a joke.

Good for a short, overall. But then again, this probably isn't your usual 3k $ student project.

Flicking through Netflix can produce mixed results, now and then you stumble across a gem, something that's a little bit different, but rewarding.

Forgive us our trespasses is very unusual, a short on Netflix, and not a film with a conventional beginning, middle and end, but just a snapshot of the life of one young boy, during the rise of The Nazis.

Beautifully presented, well acted, but an insightful look at how life was for people living with disabilities during that horrific time.

Thought provoking. 9/10.

The short film shows us the suffering of the disabled because the Nazi viewed them as being garbage that waste money and resources. I didn't know before that the disabled German adults and children had suffered the persecution, too. The film is well done with beautiful cinematography, good performance, great location and setting and costume, and the story was told in a way that kept our interest all the way through, routing for the boy to survive. It is perfectly titled, if we think about how human trespassed against each other so much at that time in the history. Heaven must have wept bitterly back then. I hope similar thing won't return in another form to our present time.

Was not bad for a short about Nazi Germany and the extermination of people with disabilities. Most people may not realize this actually happened un Adolf Hitler.

This captured a moment of time in history that we should forever remember. When we hear about WW2, we think about Hitler, concentration camps, millions of jews murdered in masses, etc. The suffering of the disabled are equally important and should not be swept under the rug. Their suffering should not be invalidated. Any group discriminated against reside in the same category of suffering of war.

This short was well directed, the actors were excellent, and the cinematography was smoothly done. The story was interesting and compellingly. We need more promotions for films like this. Films with educational value.
