That's true. But in this case I just mostly look as Natalie Portman playing yet another sci-fi role. Overall, she actually didn't look bad bald. Neither did that Indian actress who played in the first Star Trek movie.
Those scenes of women having their heads shaved after WWII that I've seen seem to have mostly been in France. It is painful to watch.
Naw, it was pretty much everywhere. It started in France because Germany was driven out from there first, but there were similar scenes in Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, Czechoslovakia ... It caught on. There was (understandably) a lot of hate (and a lot of those acts were not so much from resistance organisations, but from the enraged mob) and it focused on these poor women whether they had worked as, say, secretaries for the German occupiers or had entertained a romantic liaison with a German soldier/bore the child of one.
Frida of ABBA
is the daughter of a German
Landser stationed in Norway with a Norwegian mother. Her mother had to move to (in WWII neutral) Sweden (for good) after the liberation of Norway to raise her daughter in peace - staying in Norway would have meant succumbing eventually to state pressure to give the "tysker bastard" away to an orphans' home; nobody wanted these children post '45 in Norway (and there were quite a few of them, Scandinavians were viewed as "fellow Aryans", so the German military had no issues re romantic liaisons with the populace). It's one of those historic injustices: Scandinavian volunteers for the Waffen-SS
could live in Germany after the war and eventually assume German nationality to save them from persecution in their home countries, but no such offer was made to the women and girls who were mothers of children with German fathers.
