I'll have to take my father to see it.
" helluva movie I thought, Fiennes portrayal as a famous aristocratic royalist who finds his own country turning on him and never believes it till too late is really tough to watch..."

My paternal father's cousin made that mistake in Austria. A son of a court JEw who had been a major in the Austro-Hungarian army crippled in the Great War, he refused to see Hitler as a threat. He wrote in his last letter "I am a better Austrian than the ex-patriat corporal."
He was right and beaten to death for it.
