This is a really beautiful, well-thought post. I love especially your note of the images on-screen in Nation's Pride, and the caps of Fredrick in that film. Your note about how the war has taken everything from Shosanna and given everything to Fredrick is especially apt in your analysis.

The intimacy of death in this film is amazing. I'd really love to examine Donny and Omar's scene in that context as well, as we've mentioned before.

Simply beautiful. It made me tear up to read this analysis and look at the images.
