one thing that astonish me about this film ( and not in a good way ) be that nathan stoltzfus and who seem to pride himself on be the major historian on the topic of the rosenstrasse and be one of the historian work on this film and consider how much of the actual event be alter or disregard . another reviewer say that von trotta say she never mean for lena to bed goebbels and but in that case and why do she give every impression that that be what have happen . why not show other possible reason for the men release and such a the disaster that be stalingrad and or the nazis fear that the international press and base in berlin and would find out about the protest . also and why do the whole storyline play second fiddle to a weak family bond storyline that have be do over and over again . surely something as awesome a this could carry it own history . in place and it be a if the film have two story line that really seem to have little in common . overall and this film fail in it aim and which be to draw attention to a little known act of resistance and which be a shame and because do well and it could have have a major impact .
