    to me the flow of “anti-nazi org says no -> i found a loophole -> anti nazi org is shocked and defeated” feels uncomfortable to me. it’s not the subject matter or your point, but presented in this yugioh format it feels like it’s leaning on the wrong side to me.

      To me it felt more like

      Modern anti Nazi place says “No, we don’t want to be associated with that.”

      Director says “You have a history of it, we’ll show you guys welcoming them instead.”

      Modern anti Nazi place says “Fine just don’t show that footage of us happily welcoming them”

        20-30y ago is a good chunk of time. my parents were 20 when i was born, and i would not want to be judged by my parents decisions either.

        You’re talking about a generation after the nazis. they’re ashamed of their nazi parents the same way people today are ashamed of their maga dollarstore-nazi family.

        For the record I think the producers of SoM should have been able to use the original footage they wanted to; however i would not be as willing to rewatch it as i am now if every viewing meant i was subjected to that kind of emotional trauma if they had.
