Synopsis: The action takes place in a Protestant village in northern Germany around 1913/1914 on the eve of the First World War. The main protagonists of the story is the Baron, the pastor of the Church and children's choir, a widowed doctor and school teacher. All are moved by a series of strange and unexplained incidents which take the form of a ritual of punishment. Who is behind these sinister events? This sharp portrait of a repressive society allows us to notice how gradually the Nazis began to hatch within Western Europe. In fact, I really am very rare criticism of this writing the critically acclaimed film by German director Michael Haneke. Why do I feel strange, you ask blog readers? Well quite simply by several points that I will try to detail in the most concise and clear as possible. Consider it highly commendable from every point of view, different filmmakers (especially from European film) take the problem of Nazism (or other) and develop different stories on where they can capture all your feelings toward a disastrous time in the history of this century. I really think this way.
is why, in my favorite movies will always be tremendous awesome movie as "Platoon," "Sins of War," "The Thin Red Line," "Sophie Scholl - The Final Days" and the spectacular German film "The Fall," among other gems of cinema in recent years. Now, on the other hand "The fact of taking the issue of Nazism, which already gives added value to any film, thinks that a film is required viewing or quite simply is the catalog of awesome movie by critics throughout the world? Well to be honest, I truly believe that.
Moreover, since entering fully in the review of the film by Michael Haneke I say without hesitation that "The White Ribbon" will have some interest in some guidelines that raises, but as a film product has transformed my view one of the most boring movies, apathetic and lacking in ideas I've seen in recent years, and all the blame, absolutely all the blame for this lies with the lousy script that Haneke provided for this acclaimed film.
should not blame anything on the tape from the technical point of view (which is fantastic), or from the standpoint of acting (rare in Europe, the performances are loose), and as well told , is quite commendable that Haneke wants show a German company and educationally ill-minded absolutely psychotic since well before the Nazis took power in the country. Now, the way in which the filmmaker puts it in the film is frankly very poor.
The script (which plainly is the main problem of the film) is so very badly narrated that rarely had so many of wanting to stop watching a tape for half its length, as it happened in this time with his latest film product. Haneke became a story that could have considerable potential, something difficult to digest, boring wholesale unfinished resolutions and characters who fail to interest the viewer at any time of the excessive length of the film. And there is a problem of European cinema in general, and in recent years, progress has come to film in countries like France and Germany is something really palpable and extremely valuable.
I think the main problem of Haneke's film is little or nothing had worked on a script that, while interested in the beginning, gradually becomes transformed into something very heavy on the narrative level, almost at the limit of the unbearable . Yes it is worth noting, moreover, the technical soundness of the film, especially since the impeccable direction of photography and the mastery of the filmmaker to move the camera right and necessary.

also worth mentioning the impeccable direction of actors that Haneke did with the film, as in any point of view there actions on the tape loose, and in fact I have been pleasantly surprised by all the performances of children appear in the film. Certainly this is the highest point of this, in my view, very poor tape.
In conclusion, "White Ribbon" is a film product with good ideas but a prisoner of a horrible script that had been wrecked any film, of any nationality at any time in cinematic history. A film that could in any way be saved not by his spectacular technical section, or for great acting performances, nor, frankly, good intentions by its history.
film Rating: Poor.
