Bent Blu-ray

The Bent blu-ray has given me a new level of understanding of the Holocaust and the horrors inflicted on both Jews and homosexual people. History becomes more meaningful, when we understand its personal impact.

Lead character, Max, is sent to a Nazi concentration camp because he is gay and not Jewish. He believes it will be better to pretend to be Jewish and wear a yellow star at Dachau, instead of the pink triangle he should have had. Hence, he denies his truth. Neither option was good, but his decision had consequences.

This award winning film was originally an award winning play. The acting is superb and heartfelt, so it’s easy to get caught up in the story. I was pleasantly surprised to see Mick Jagger as Greta.

    This drew me right into this movie after watching the trailer and reading this about the movie; Lead character, Max, is sent to a Nazi concentration camp because he is gay and not Jewish. He believes it will be better to pretend to be Jewish and wear a yellow star at Dachau, instead of the pink triangle he should have had. Hence, he denies his truth. Neither option was good, but his decision had consequences.

    Events like this should never happen again, yet they do occur on a smaller scale and need to be stopped. Thanks for the chance to win this movie.

    As a member of the GLBT+ community, this is important for future generations to know about.

    These movies about the Holocaust are so riveting and sad. But it’s important that we never forget what happened there.

    Thanks for running this wonderful sweepstakes. Having in-law relatives who died in the Holocaust, I am always interested to learn as much as possible about that horrible period in history. That’s why I would like to win this DVD – it’s not just a movie.

    Looks powerful. Looking forward to seeing it. We need to keep the dialogue on difficult subjects open. Thanks🌱
