I saw it today.....shocking utterly shocking and to think it took THIS LONG for a real film about what it was REALLY like to come out. And from the Germans...(not that thats a bad thing)
Sad when the dog died, sicknening when Magda Goebbels had her children singing when the bombs were going off.
Sad film.
It was sad to see people like poor Schenk get caught up trying to help others.
I also felt sorry for Mohnke and that dude (can anyone remember his name?) who was charged with the task of burning the dead Hitlers.
Nasty how that kid nearly got shot up by those Russians while tank hunting......
It was sad to see good people trying to protect their land from a) the nutters in charge of it and b) the "enemy"...

No other country could have made that kind of movie except Germany.

I nearly cried when she poisoned her kids.

Kid separates from family - kid sees horror of war - kid returns to family - kid returns to war - kid returns home and finds his family dead.


Sad that that movie didn't win an Oscar.

-Btw: After I've seen that movie for the first time with a friend of mine, we weren't saying a single word for,like twenty minutes. My first words then were "I would have fought...I would have stayed..."
This was the most moving film I've ever seen. And I'd force every teenager in the western hemisphere to watch it instead of picking up the general opinion about that matter.
