The movie has more than one scene where Wally is defending the Duchess about her alleged Nazi sympathies. Could you talk about that?
In addition to the idea of exploring what I just mentioned, I had a desire to set the record straight about a person who I felt was very misaligned in history, and trying to understand and investigate the notion of what is perfect love, and is there such a thing as perfect love.

We have a separate thread for this, too, but I wanted to put at least one link into this thread

This will be cross posted to another thread.
Stories mention Catholicism and Nazis.
Catholic youth crusade against Madonna in Poland- WARSAW — Singer Madonna is courting controversy again ahead of an August 1 gig in Warsaw, having already been threatened with legal action in France for projecting a swastika on an image of far-right party leader Marine Le Pen.
A group of young Catholics has launched an online petition to have the concert cancelled as it coincides with the Polish capital's annual World War II commemoration of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising against the city's Nazi's occupiers.
As of Tuesday, the petition had gathered 31,000 supporters for the "Material Girl's" concert to be called off out of respect for the estimated 200,000 people who died in the doomed 63-day uprising by Polish partisans.
Every year at 5 pm (1500 GMT) on August 1 sirens wail as Warsaw residents observe a minute's silence across the capital to remember the loss of life in the largest single rebellion against Nazi Germany during WWII.
"August 1 is a day of remembrance in Poland. We pay our respects to those who survived and those who perished in the uprising. We won't allow the desecration of our hallowed symbols," reads the Internet petition launched by a group calling itself the Youth Crusade.
It also slams the 53-year-old Queen of Pop's on-stage antics as "attacking the Catholic faith... offending Jesus Christ by burning crosses and wearing a crown of thorns" as well as promoting homosexuality and pornography.
A spokesperson for tour promoter LiveNation, Anna Pietrzak, declined comment on both the protest and ticket sales when contacted by AFP on Tuesday.
Warsaw city authorities have proposed holding a minute's silence and airing WWII-era news chronicles of the uprising ahead of the concert at Warsaw's new National Stadium, which has a capacity of nearly 73,000.
Having hosted the June 8 kick-off of the Euro 2012 football championships, the venue itself is on the east bank of the Vistula river, cutting though the Polish capital, where Soviet forces waited for the Nazis to decimate the Polish resistance during the uprising.
The protest comes as Madonna faces a lawsuit in France brought by the far-right National Front for screening a video showing party leader Marine Le Pen with a Nazi swastika on her forehead at a weekend concert at the Stade de France near Paris.
The failed French presidential candidate warned the US superstar in June she was mulling legal action after the video was shown at a Tel Aviv gig in May kicking off the "MDNA" world tour, covering about 30 countries and wrapping up in Australia in 2013.

Madonna Defends Her Use of Nazi Symbol- By JAMES C. MCKINLEY JR.
Madonna defended her decision to use a swastika in a video during her current tour, saying it is a fit image for her message about “the intolerance that we human beings have for one another.”
The Nazi symbol is superimposed on the forehead of the French National Front leader Marine Le Pen during a video that Madonna has been playing while she sings “Nobody Knows Me” at her concerts during a world tour. Last week, the far-rightwing party said it would sue Madonna after a concert in Paris and accused her of cynically insulting Ms. Le Pen to gain publicity.
Ms. Le Pen, who placed third in France’s presidential election in April, was one of several famous figures depicted in the video among them Sarah Palin, President Hu Jintao of China and Pope Benedict. In February, Ms. Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who founded the National Front, was found guilty of condoning war crimes after he said the Nazi occupation of France had “not been particularly inhumane.”
Madonna has not changed the video since the National Front threatened to sue her, and it was shown at least three concerts in Britain last week. Asked about the Nazi imagery by a Brazilian television journalist for a piece that aired over the weekend, the singer said the image was justified because the song concerns intolerance and explores the question of “how much we judge people before knowing them.”
“Music should be about ideas right?” she said. “Ideas inspire music.”
The use of the swastika is not the first controversial piece of theater Madonna has employed on her tour to promote “MDNA,” her current album. On Saturday, she brandished a prop pistol onstage in Edinburgh despite a warning from police not to do so. And last month, on June 8, she exposed her breast during a show in Istanbul while singing “No Fear.” Madonna explains use of swastika during MDNA tour - Madonna has spoken about an image used during her current MDNA tour which showed a swastika imposed onto the face of a French politician.
The controversial symbol was included in a video accompanying the song Nobody Knows Me, as she performed in Paris.
It showed the face of Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's National Front party, with a swastika on her forehead.
Interviewed for a Brazilian TV channel, Madonna said all images used were chosen "purposefully".
"That film that was created is about the intolerance that we human beings have for one another and how much we judge people before knowing them," she said.
France's National Front party (FN) said it planned to sue the US singer following the use of the image at her concert in the Stade de France on 14 July. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote
All images in the video were chosen purposefully”
Madonna
The video had already appeared earlier in Madonna's 30-nation MDNA world tour, sparking a warning from Ms Le Pen that she was considering legal action.
FN vice-president Florian Philippot said the party could not accept "such an odious comparison". "Intolerance"
But Madonna refused to edit the video and, speaking before her concert in Brazil, the singer said "all images in the video were chosen purposefully".
"There seems to be a growing intolerance around the world. In Greece, France, everywhere people are trying to kick out all the immigrants, make people cover up and not show what their religious affiliation is.
"Think about what's going on in Russia towards the gay community," she said.
"I'm calling attention to that intolerance and asking people to pay attention, to wake up to see how we are just creating more chaos in the world."
Displaying the swastika image has not been the only controversy on Madonna's MDNA tour.
During her show in Edinburgh on 21 July, the singer defied warnings not to brandish a gun during her performance following the recent shootings at a cinema screening of Batman in Colorado.
Madonna said she believed it is an artist's responsibility to call attention to world events "and to help bring people together".
"Art is there to track what's going on in the world, to make social commentary," she said. Madonna defends swastika imagery on MDNA tour- Speaking to Brazilian television about the imagery, Madonna said the video concerns: "the intolerance that we human beings have for one another. And how much we judge people before knowing them. The why it's done in the song 'Nobody Knows Me'.

Madonna attacks intolerance and says Europe ‘feels like Nazi Germany’
Madonna: European intolerance ‘feels like Nazi Germany’ - Singer decries ‘enormous’ and ‘scary’ levels of anti-Jewish hatred on continent; says ‘anti-Semitism is at an all-time high’ BY AFP February 27, 2015, 3:09 am 2
PaRIS, France — Rebounding from her stage tumble at the Brit awards, pop star Madonna told French radio Thursday that “intolerance” was now so high in France and Europe that “it feels like Nazi Germany.”
Speaking to Europe 1 radio in an interview to be aired Friday morning, Madonna said “anti-Semitism is at an all-time high” in France and elsewhere in Europe, and likened the current atmosphere to the period when German fascism was on the ascent.
“We’re living in crazy times. It feels like Nazi Germany,” the 56-year-old singer said, calling the situation “scary,” and lamenting what she described as France’s lost tradition of welcoming diversity and honoring freedom.
“It was a country that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way, shape or form — artistic expression of freedom,” Madonna said. “Now that’s completely gone.
“France was once a country that accepted people of color, and was a place artists escaped to, whether it was Josephine Baker or Charlie Parker.”
In fact, Charlie Parker only visited France briefly to play concert engagements, and unlike jazz legends such as Bud Powell, Kenny Clarke and Dexter Gordon, never took up French residency.
The globally-acclaimed entertainer also spoke out in 2012 when she denounced the rise of xenophobia and extreme-right parties in Europe.
The diva said her earlier comments were made when “I was receiving a lot of criticism and threats from Marie (sic) Le Pen and her” National Front party, which Madonna described as “fascist.”
The singer’s spat with Marine Le Pen began after the far-right leader threatened to sue Madonna over a video featuring an image of Le Pen with a swastika on her forehead. The offending symbol was eventually replaced with a question mark to avoid litigation.
But Madonna said in the Europe 1 interview that the motives that led her to speak out against intolerance in 2012 were even more pressing today.
“What I said two years ago is valid today,” she said. “It’s not just happening in France, it’s all over Europe. But particularly in France.
“The level of intolerance is so enormous, it’s scary.”

Considering she thanked anti-Semites in her film and had Nazi imagery in it, I find her recent statements perplexing. Anything for publicity, I guess.

Well I certainly cannot tolerate Vaggy grandonna mama. This post came at my face. In a nutshell Vaggy grandonna mama you are Nazi Germany yourself, reincarnated. Why don't you go away somewhere where we don't have to tolerate you b***h. Thanks for dropping by at my face so I can come over here anyways.
MADONNA: The Material Girl Decries French Anti-Semitism: ‘It feels like Nazi Germany’
The Queen of Pop is speaking out against the anti-semitism she is seeing in France – what she used to think was a more ‘tolerant’ place. I wonder if it has anything to do with the religion of peace…who knows?
By Jessica Chasmar, Washington Times Madonna claimed Friday that the anti-Semitism in France and elsewhere in Europe has become so bad that “it feels like Nazi Germany.” Speaking to French radio station Europe 1, the 56-year-old singer lamented that France was once a country “that embraced everyone and encouraged freedom in every way, shape or form,” Us Magazine reported. “Now, it’s completely gone,” she said. “I said this two years ago, it’s like we’re living in a crazy time. It feels like, you know, Nazi Germany … the intolerance, the level of intolerance that’s going on is really scary. “And it’s not just happening in France. It’s all over Europe, but specifically in France,” she added. “Anti-Semitism is at an all-time high.”

Madonna may be vapid, but she knows how to have it both ways.
