Who else has been waiting for a movie adaptation of the book “All the Light We Cannot See?” This has been a favorite since I read it five years ago. Netflix released a four-part miniseries this month. The adaptation is a captivating story, both weaving between 1944 German-occupied France and a few years before. The miniseries celebrates the essence, setting, and characters of the book. Marie (Aria Mia Loberti) is blind and a renegade radio host, and Werner (Louis Hofman) is an orphan and radio engineer wizard. The two have a bond through radio. Her broadcasts are punishable by death, and he’s forced by nazis to track transmissions and kill broadcasters. Change radio to cyberspace, and sadly this story can easily be told in our times. How stupid of me to think wars, bombing of innocent civilians, and crazy evil men wanting to control entire populations were in the past. Marie and her father, Daniel (Mark Ruffalo), flee Paris after the nazis invade to The Movie Column By arts columnist Tom Sims join his uncle, Etienne (played by House star Hugh Laurie), in the major French port city of Saint-Malo. Although the narrative is fiction, the German siege of Saint-Malo was tragically real. Daniel and Marie escape with a rare jewel said to have mythological powers. One disturbingly villainous nazi officer (played by Lars Eidinger) wants that stone badly! Marie asks her father how they will reach Saint-Malo? There are no trains, and nobody will take them because, as she observes, “kindness is dead and all the people of the world have become evil at the same time.” Daniel simply answers, “not all the people.” Werner and Marie’s bond was through a radio show when they were younger that helped children cope with the horrors of war. He said, “The tyrant is a child of pride who drinks from his sickening cup of recklessness and vanity until, from his high crest, he plummets headlong to the dust of hope.” When I read the book years ago, few could have predicted the state of war we would be witnessing today. On this count, author Anthony Doerr has proven to be somewhat prophetic. But as Werner’s sister (played by Luna Wedler) pleads with her brother as he was taken by the nazis, “Keep the inside of your soul the same. Keep the frequency the same,” so good people must resist evil tyrants and their atrocities. Please… soldier on! Tom H. Sims is an award-winning indie filmmaker. His latest book is an adaptation of his short films. Visit YouTube.com/tomhsims. November 30, 2023 EXIT ZERO Page 37
