Because she’s a revolutionary, and Batman is a billionaire defending the status quo. You can’t have people being inspired into revolution.
A few days ago Margot Friedländer died at 103. Her entire closer family died in the holocaust after the USA, China and Brasil denied then immigration visa. She, as a teenager, was able to hide for quite a while but was finally ratted out by a jewish Gestapo spy and deported to a concentration camp. She met her future husband in the KZ and immigranted to New York later on, living a regular life until her husband died in 1997. She then started to write and moved back to Germany in 2010 (as a 89 year old!) and visites countless schools to talk about her experiences with the students and received countless medals, prices and acclaim. She was pictured on the German Vogue magazine in 2024 and later on continued her speeches until two days before her dead - her last speech was at the celebrations for the end of the WW2 in Germany.
We need more motion pictures about people like her. Not about another billionaire superhero who is unable to work in a team to save the world.
Because she was real. And much more powerful. I had the honour to attend a event she spoke.
I would watch the ever loving hell out of an HBO series about this woman. They would make fucking millions too, and people would learn about a real hero. Triple W
Yeah. Make a fucking series about them. There are more than enough people that have a powerful story that is real, not fake, and who defied danger much more than any Superhero did.
Besides: They are incredibly powerful role models. Remember how many young woman admired Daenerys when GoT was popular?
Fritz and Hedwig Aub come to my mind - they supported hidden jews all over Berlin (Fritz was a doctor), often sacrificing their own food rations for them and were almost caught multiple times. Cläre Barwitzky saved 30 jewish kids in France. Lepa Radić was executed at age 17 by German troops after fighting as a partisan, refusing to give up her comrades name under torture.Before that she escaped a KZ like prison at age 15.
We need to make real world examples like Margot and all the others.
There are countless similar people. The Danish resistance who saved most Danish jews. The Italian partisans who fought both their own Fascism and the Germans. The French resistance. The Polish resistance had people who intentionally let themselves imprison in KZ, including Auschwitz, and escaped from there.
These stories need to be told. Which brings me back to Margot - she came back to Germany because she could remember that there were people that helped her, despite the consequences. That not all people were evil and that there is always something one can do to resist. Which is a message she found more important now than ever before.
TIL KZ stands for Konzentrationslager (concentration camp).
Truly a great British invention.
The face that shot a hundred Nazis.
Quentin Tarantino were the heck are you with this?!?!
The main actress will definitely lead them through the forest with no shoes on.
He couldn’t think of a way to fit a scene focused entirely on the protagonist’s feet into the story.
He can even play a Nazi and suck on the lead actresses toes before being shot!
He is thinking about which movie is going to be his last ever movie
…because she was a child soldier. She was doing this aged 14.
We tend not to glorify tales of the WW2 where war crimes were committed.
We do tend to do tales of tragedy though. She was the victim on two different counts, as well as being the hero (recruited as a child soldier, and defending against hostile invasion. Heroic for shooting Nazis).
Depicting someone defending against the bad guys while being taken advantage of by the good guys and meanwhile shooting pedophile Nazis feels like a shoe in.
Also, it wasn’t technically a war crime at the time. The conventions around not using child soldiers are shockingly recent. Was still a bad thing to do, but only by modern standards.
We also tend to glorify war crime stories depressingly often, so I’m not sure that point even stands.So Kick-Ass it, make it about her going and out killing these SS pedos who are following a 14 year old into the woods.
And we totally do, look at Inglourious Basterds.
Inglorious basterds is fiction.
Because they can’t make her movie character older than what it was?!
Then it isn’t her story.
Of course it is, you don’t have to be exactly accurate

Child soldiers are fine in ww2. They weren not brown people fighting for their lives. They were white people.
You know that people speaking out against child soldiers aren’t condemning the children, right? They’re condemning the people who take advantage of them.
That’s sort of why most criticism is directed towards warlords and drug cartels.
Really wasn’t a situation that needed race injected into it, particularly when no one was saying that white child soldiers are somehow okay.
So they condemn the Brits and Americans for using child soldiers to fight Germany?
I don’t know how often discussions of the issues with child soldiers focus on discussions of historical instances, since caring at all is a relatively modern phenomenon, but I don’t think I’ve heard people speak positively of it.
I don’t think the US used child soldiers though, even in the home defense category the ones who did did.
To my knowledge neither axis nor allies engaged in the coercive type of child military service most condemned today.I don’t think anyone is on the pro-child soldier side of things like you seem to be implying. Like all bad things there’s a gradient. Abducting children, giving them drugs and guns and using them as canon fodder is far worse than equipping them as part of a civil defense force, which is worse than allowing enlistment at 16 rather than 18.
To my knowledge neither axis nor allies engaged in the coercive type of child military service most condemned today.
Nazi Germany was drafting kids in the early teens by the end of the war. Japan was planning on it.
Well gross. I had only known they got as far as the civil defense force, not that they were actually drafting for combat roles.
Fuck you with your attitude the same as the SS
Directed by Quentin Tarantino.
She’s like Dexter, the best kind of serial killer
does nobody google anything before making memes?
here’s a movie about her: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt29931730/PRE-PRODUCTION
Call me when it’s real.
well ok, When It’s Real… nice to meet you.
There’s no release date. It might be real, in that someone might be working on it, but it isn’t real in the sense that there is a finished film that someone can view right now.
Plus anything not finished can still be cancelled.
Go dad sleep to!
is this yoda?
This is yo dad.
I think lately I wait to be told to go google it. Thats how lazy I have gotten. And I havent hit rock bottom yet either.
Becau$e rea$ons.
Teaching us how to handle incels for 80 years. RIP.
Please don’t. I know Hollywood and it will become.somr over dramatized turd piece that has little to do with what actually happened
Cause people with money tend to side with Hitler types.
Damn, we need a few thousand clones of her, asap. Nazis everywhere lately. Although they started to come back right around the time she died. Makes you wonder.
Yes.
Exactly!
