The filming poignantly shows the hopelessness of the situation. We see a landscape which is dark, grey, and dirty white the landscape seems to go on forever. Shot in black and white, at times reminiscent of Schindler’s List, the filming is beautiful and at the same time very disturbing. He manages to escape and then you realize the hopelessness of his situation. The opening scene shows Willi running from a group of German soldiers, intent on killing him. This is a very dark brutal film which clearly depicts the chaos which existed towards the end of the war. The Captain is directed by Robert Schwentke, who directed two of the science fiction action films, Insurgent and Allegiant from the Divergent trilogy. He is very convincing as a private who has deserted from his unit and is merely trying to survive. Max Hubacher, who plays the movie's anti-hero Willi Herold, does a remarkable job. The Captain is a dark, brutal film which looks at World War II’s final days from the perspective of German soldiers behind the frontlines.ĭer Hauptmann, released in March 2018, takes place behind the German frontlines in April 1945, weeks before the end of the war.
