In this clip, the viewer catches a glimpse of the hardships that oppressed and targeted individuals of certain racial, cultural, ethnic or religious endure during unfortunate times of conflict. In the film Transit, the conflict is unknown; however, the struggle of the oppressed remains the same throughout history. A “cleansing” is taken place, and the hate of the occupying forces knows no bounds. It is unclear in the film of what traits the targeted people share that make them undesirable, as the woman with the dogs admits that she is a Jew, but the other characters each seem to be from totally different races and cultures so I am unclear on just what places each character in the position that they are in. Nevertheless, there is a common theme throughout the film of those who are not targeted and those who are residing legally in these areas of transit profiteering off of the misfortunes of those displaced people. In this scene the innkeeper is blatantly taking advantage of Georg and his plight by charging him a ridiculous amount of money for the room, they both know that she will notify the authorizes in a few short days in an effort to reap the benefits and promptly rent the room out for another few days for the price of a week up front until she calls for another raid on the hotel. It was all the money that he had, and I am sure that others would have and will take advantage of these people in transit.
