Michael Polish, director and co-writer of “American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally” seems more interested in the film’s look than its story or characters. Each shot is meticulously framed, with striking, noir-ish lighting to emphasize the nightmarish settings of Nazi Germany and American prison cells. The movie’s characters are less compelling, however, and the film never deeply engages the issues of consent, culpability, and justice it asks us to consider.”American Traitor” is based on the true story of Mildred Gillars (played by Meadow Williams), an American who was living in Germany as the Nazis took power. She worked for the notorious Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda (Thomas Kretschmann) on radio broadcasts intended to undermine the morale of US troops. “I’m only saying these things because I care about you,”American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally 2021 Full Movie Download
she would say in a breathy, seductive voice. At first, she encouraged Americans to stay out of the war, telling them Germany is a better ally than England. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, she cautions them about the power of the German armed forces. “What chance do you have?” “It’s not too late to surrender.” She tells them that while they are getting wounded, their girls will be falling for the men at home. Later, she visits American POWs and reports on their treatment and their messages home, editing them to make them seem well cared-for and to show admiration for the German doctors. The military calls her “Axis Sally.””The spoken word is the most powerful weapon in the world,” Goebbels tells Gillars. “It works best when those being manipulated are confident they are acting in their own free will.” A fundamental question in the movie is the extent to which Gillars was manipulated and the extent to which she was acting in her own free will. Goebbels uses both carrot and stick, telling her to “stay with us and learn what victory feels like,” while keeping her passport so she cannot leave and forcing her to sign a loyalty pledge.
