Flammen & Citronen (Flame & Citron)

Flammen & Citronen (Flame & Citron) is a Danish movie set during the German occupation of World War II.  It is a true story of two resistance fighters who successfully killed enemy officers and collaborators.  The film delves into the story of how they started, there brooding over their actions, their questioning of the motivation behind the killings and their part in partaking in the killings.  Who is good, who is bad and what is right or wrong become hazy lines as you watch the story unfold.  There is more than one profound scene of revelation that helps understand that in war there is truly nothing
as simple as black and white.

This movie has plenty of action but it is not an action movie, it is an exploratory movie of the story of two idealistic patriots during a time of occupation.  In 1951 they were

both given the Medal of Honor posthumously by United States President Harry Truman.
