Nice to see a different side of the story told for American audiences. BTW, did Flags of Our Fathers really suck as much as people tell me? :P

I wouldn't mind such a story, to tell you the truth.

If you want to see something about the German/Hitler side, check out Der Untergang (aka Downfall). Its another film in my top 25 or so. Utterly brilliant. Bruno Ganz's performance as Hitler = :hyper It's based off the diary's of Hitler's personal secretary, so its pretty much the most accurate account of events ever put to film.

EDIT: trailer for you

As for this film, meh. Unforgiven aside, Clint has never really done it for me as a director.

Post by: Mupepe on December 22, 2006, 02:24:58 PM: Clint is one of my favorite directors now

Unforgiven and Mystic River are awesome.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 22, 2006, 07:06:40 PM: I was laughing at Clint being one of your favorite directors, and liking Mystic River. I have no opinion on Unforgiven.

Post by: Mupepe on December 22, 2006, 07:27:10 PM: maybe favorite was a bit too much, but I'm sure to check out everything he makes now. He makes good movies. Mystic River was awesome.
