Baruto no gakuen

This movie overlabours its points. And seems to be pretty nervous about the ethnic conflict side of things, oftentimes making the Japanese seem indecently subservient to their German prisoners. Thus not achieving the redemption story arc that this subject matter was asking for.

The the history in itself is fascinating and heart warming. And the movie tries its best to do it justice. And I did enjoy watching it, hiding behind a pillow when the cringe was threatening to overwhelm.
