Although set in the epicenter of war in Europe during the 40's, the story contains a timeless theme: A man is known by the company he keeps. First as a Romanian peasant Johann was taken to be of inferior race: Jewish, a "non-Aryan", and thus put in a POW camp by the Germans. But then by scientific observation, the Germans come to recognize Johann to be equal and even superior to themselves: Indo Aryan; that is from an original direct lineage of their own Aryan forefathers in India. Johann plays along and enjoys the perks of his newfound social status, creating confusion amongst his fellow family, and eventually amongst the Allies as they free the POW camp. The social dilemma is clear. The "soldier" is so well camouflaged and undercover that even his "own side" fails to identify him correctly. So Johann gets judged by his appearance or the Germans he associated with. Never mind, that he had the good interest of his fellow prisoners in mind! I, being of Indian descent and raised in Europe, recognize this contradiction whenever I come across racists or neoNazis. That's why I enjoyed this movie when I watched it on TMC-Europe. This movie gives valuable insight to both perpetrators and victims, and even to fighters against similar evils."</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062445/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062445/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062445/</A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Origins of Totalitarianism</B></div> <div> Hannah Arendt</div> <div> <A HREF="http://pages.prodigy.net/mschnall/arendt.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://pages.prodigy.net/mschnall/arendt">http://pages.prodigy.net/mschnall/arendt.html</A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/arendthtml/essayb1.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/arendthtml/e">http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/arendthtml/essayb1.html</A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/political/bldef_arendthannah.htm" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://atheism.about.com/library/glossar">http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/political/bldef_arendthannah.htm</A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Papilion</B></div> <div> Henri Charrière, called <I>Papillon,</I> for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 for a murder he did not commit.
