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.

Clint is one of my favorite directors now

Unforgiven and Mystic River are awesome.

You don't like them?  He makes quality films IMO.  Not necessarily deep, but very entertaining and well done.

I was laughing at Clint being one of your favorite directors, and liking Mystic River. I have no opinion on Unforgiven.

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.
