Please do the Russian propaganda movie "T-34". It would be hilarious to watch you go though that movie.
While the actors are great. I still think they should have found german actors to portrait the germans. Fake german accents are just so goofy
3:42 hot take, not humanizing the worst of us is a mistake. Making them mustache twirling villains can cause people to develop blindspots to truly evil people who walks among us. In order for them to be a warning to what man is truly capable of, they must be seen as real human being instead of cartoonish movie villains that people would say could never exist in modern times.
Ridley Scott needs Russell Crowe to make a good movie. That's what I took from this! lol
"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.”
I remember the film being ok but I remember at the very end realizing I was also tricked by Goring and that the most terrifying thing about the Nazis were they were just... Regular people
Good movies seem to be rare now.
I was surprised Albert Speer isn't featured.
Goring might have been referring to the March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo where over 100,000 people died
I would have preferred if the main character was Gustave Gilbert rather than Douglas Kelley. Gustave was there from start to finish and established a rapport with many of the prisoners, including Hermann goering. But in this Gustave is just a minor side character that barely features in the movie. Also I think when they nail Goering in the trial and are able to convict him they could have easily brought up the key pieces of actual evidence that proved How he and Hitler new about the Holocaust all along. But these are never mentioned.
Göring was very human, indeed. He liked trains too. Even had a whole model train track in his attic.
I'm curious how you think this compares to the 2000 Miniseries on the Nuremberg Trials starring Brian Cox as Goering.
I think unironically to portray a truly monsterous individual like Göring you must show their humanity. Because them having that humanity but still being willing and ready to commit unimaginable actions is what makes them monsters.
The worst thing about this film are the people who watched it. Namely 2 groups. The first group are neo nazis that love Guering's depiction and talk about how he was right. The second group call geuring a stand in for trump. Both of these groups are equally rage inducing
I loved Michael Shannon in Man of steel. He was great as Zod.
"I thought it was a pretty good movie, not a great movie, but a good one" We really need to start accepting this more, in all forms of media. Every movie don't have to be masterpieces that are remembered for years, a movie can just be good
There is a mini series i believe. Brian Cox plays a phenomenal Göring in that one.
Thank you for that part starting at 3:52. That is such an important Thing to realize.
Bro, don't make yourself watch Pearl Harbor again
Saw the movie, thought it was ok. Having a dog in that fight (WW2) the movie fell apart when I started thinking about it, and from the stories my Father told me about it.
