9/10
Ungarian Schindler
3 August 2023
From a cinematic standpoint, it is undoubtedly an excellent production that spares no resources in staging all the necessary elements for the proper development of the plot.

Certainly, it is also true that this is a cinematic fiction, and as in any fiction, some characters may not be portrayed entirely faithfully. I think, for example, of that cunning character Otto Skorzeny in roles that are probably not entirely faithful.

These and other small liberties, which are clearly of a narrative nature and serve to make the storytelling more fluid and comprehensible, should not be perceived as historical errors and therefore invalidating. In such a complex production, it is nearly impossible for every minute detail to be kept under control, and sometimes, even with the intention and the necessary means, it proves impossible to have accurate military vehicles for the events being narrated.

It's evident that the film Schindler's List opened up a narrative vein that is easy and convenient to explore, but in this case, despite the underlying story being akin to that of the Hungarian Schindler, the events of a series of characters are actually recounted, enriching the narrative. The result is a portrayal that is more or less faithful, more or less debatable, of a Hungary under Nazi occupation and the consequent "liberation" by the Russians.
