“Michael” and the Tension of Lacking Tension
It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit. Michael is no exception.

It is impossible to change history, we can only prevent the worst in the future, relying on the experience of the past... The plot is based on a true story: the “sophisticated” way of exterminating prisoners in the Mauthausen concentration camp. They were thrown from the so-called “rock of paratroopers” in the quarry. The first to die there in 1940 were British paratroopers and the Dutch volunteers who helped them. They were captured in Nazi-occupied Holland and became the first victims of this bloody “attraction”. The guards and the administration of the camp enjoyed this “attraction” until the liberation of the camp in 1945.
