I watched this movie two days ago after work, I was drained to bits but after I saw the title, "Forgive our trespasses" I was so intrigued. And you know what, I cried a lot.
If you want a movie that plays a big role in emotions try this. It is a story of the Nazis regime, the Hitler era. In this story, we see a boy who has no limb (disabled). They believed that disabled people were wasting their resources so the way to reduce such was to kill all disabled people. Imagine being killed because you were born disabled!
The first part of the movie when sitting in class says a lot about the regime. The boy says disabled people should be killed. His mother brushes this thought out of her son out of worry. But with time the law became cruel and the boy had to fight for himself. I feel like they changed the boy's character through his challenges. He fought for his right to live, he wanted to be loved and be free.
Peter worries a lot, he didn't ask to be born like this but he has to be forced into the grave. This regime's elimination was pure evil, money was more important than people.
At bedtime prayers, he asks his mother if we really should forgive those who trespass against us. “Even the Nazis?” It’s an intriguing question, one with a difficult answer. This makes us reflect on the daylight of today. How would you answer it? God says we should forgive for we are all sinners, it is for Him to judge not us.
