Cyprian,

This "Ostrov" film is also a propaganda tool, not unlike most all dramatic films.

Proof please.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)

This film, even if only in a minor way, contributes to the overall propaganda campaign employed by the masters of media in our day.

That is, the constant, repetitive, demonization of everything associated with Nazism, and the associated slander of the German people which inevitably follows.

It shouldn't be necessary to explain in detail how the Zionist Jews, who thoroughly control the film industry, consider themselves as beneficiaries of the incessant demonization of the Nazis and the German people.

As the saying goes: "There's no business like Shoah business!"

Billions of dollars are at stake perpetuating the Holocaust industry. Bombarding viewers with negative images of the Nazis is an effective tool in the endless campaign to portray the Jews as innocent victims, and all others as their "antisemitic" oppressors.

Hence the portrayal of the Nazis as the most thoroughly inhuman and evil beasts to have ever inhabited the earth.

Plot summary

During World War II, the sailor Anatoly and his captain, Tikhon are captured by the Nazis when they board their barge and tugboat which is carrying a shipment of coal. The Nazi officer leading the raid offers Anatoly the choice to shoot Tikhon and stay alive which Anatoly reluctantly takes, and Tikhon falls overboard. The Nazis blow up the ship but Anatoly is found by monks on the shore the next morning. He survives and becomes a stoker at the monastery, but is perpetually overcome with guilt.
