An Experience
This film breathes. Can’t believe no cinematography noms, but def recommend viewing at least once. Some parts are magic, others are excruciatingly slow, but 100% of this is life. It’s a heavy one!

A HIDDEN LIFE IS A HEARTBREAKING MASTERPIECE
Terence Malick's masterful retelling of the life of Franz Jagerstatter, a poor farmer wo refused to swear allegiance to Adolph Hitler. The Austrian peasant farmer was made a prisoner and finally executed for his convictions. Malick's latest masterwork was shot on location in Austria, in the actual village and in the home where Jagerstatter lived, as well as in the actual courtroom in Germany, where he was convicted, and in the actual prison where he was interned. August Diehl's performance as Jagerstatter is a memorable portrayal of a simple man who says, "no," and suffers, only himself, but so does his wife and sister, where they lived. This is a heartbreaking tale of a simple man who stands by his convictions. His quiet act if resistance was treated as treason, yet in his unwavering beliefs, his love for his wife, Fani, and their three children, keeps his spirit alive to the end. Franz Jagerstatter is a quiet hero who chose to simply say, "no," to man's inhumanity to his fellow man.

One man's strength versus the Third Reich
A powerful telling of the faith of an Austrian farmer against the Hideous Strength of the Third Reich. It is a fairly long movie that takes the viewer on a deep, unrelenting journey through Franz Jägerstätter's stand for righteousness during the Second World War. We see Franz's determination to remain faithful to the Lord despite the bullying, ruthless tactics of his captors as contrasted to his fellow villagers who submit to the evil that has descended upon them, and who in turn also persecute him and his wife and children. We also witness the faith of his wife in her willingness to support him, knowing that he will be murdered, knowing that she will be widowed and that their children will be left fatherless. This is all set in the beauty of rural Austria, in the midst of simple farm life. It is a difficult story but one that can empower others to stand for the right also. It is reminiscent of "Judgment at Nuremberg".
