Daniel did such an excellent job with making the most of every second of screen time; nearly all of it consists of him focusing on Mélanie that it's almost as if he's actually in love with her.

It's such a pivotal for them, as Shosanna knows that as awful as this war has been to her, she has an ally in Fredrick, outside of Le Gamaar and Marcel and the collection of film prints. As terrible a place the outside world can be, there is always some bit of hope and she doesn't have to close herself off.
