Sex & Nudity
-
- A man carries a sleeping child and while the child is sleeping, and clearly doesn't hear him, the man tells the child that he wants to find his wife and "make love to her... over and over."
- There is kiss scene.
- No nudity or onscreen sex. One character repeatedly tells the woman with whom he is in love that he wants to make love to her in one scene.
- One character refers to a brothel during a conversation with another man.
Violence & Gore
-
- A man on a bike falls on a woman. They don't get hurt.
- Guns are present in the film. Not used for gunfire.
- A man puts his hat on and eggs inside the hat cracks on his head. Very comedic.
Profanity
-
- Fairly light, some uses of damn and one use of jackass
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Wine is served with several meals throughout the film, and guests at a party drink champagne. There is no drunkenness or abuse of alcohol in the film.
- One of the supporting actors smokes at a party. A few of the soldiers may be shown smoking in the background, but none of the main characters use tobacco products.
- There is no drug use or abuse in this film.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The first half of the film is completely free from frightening/intense scenes. Due to the main character's determination to make his son believe that they are simply playing a "game," and are, in fact, there willingly, many scenes that might otherwise be frightening/intense are made humorous, poignant, and/or bittersweet. Toward the end of the film, the main character tries to free his wife and sneaks through the camp in order to do so.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- The main characters have a passionate kiss while she looks beautiful with wedding dress.
Violence & Gore
- There is quite a bit of violence implied in the last half of the film, when the characters are in the concentration camp. There is no gore, however, and the actual violence itself takes place offscreen. For example, one of the characters is killed in the later part of the movie, but the viewer only hears a machine gun go off briefly and the character does not reappear. Being set in a concentration camp, the viewer realizes that many people are dying, but none of the deaths are shown. A large group of men is shown undressing (no nudity in this scene) in order to go into the "showers" (gas chambers), but the actual shower is never shown. Many references are made to death by extermination, gassing, ovens, etc. in conversations. At one point, a character sees a huge pile of human skeletons, but this is through a dense fog and there is no blood or gore shown.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- There is a horrific image of thousands of dead bodies piled upon each other. The bodies are shown though a thick fog, but it is still clear what is being shown.
