walkuere

gosh, this movie was epic. in terms of scale and the presentation itself. i watched it last night and couldn't help watching it again this morning as well. to think what it must have been like for the actors to don that wretched uniform. bill nighy, the old guy in the glasses, playing general friedrich olbricht, said it took him a couple days to accept the costume. it was so convincing, amazing. "long live sacred germany."

a curious case

this movie was so beautiful. i thought some of it could have been done a little better, but the dark, beautiful, mysterious aura of the film was quite enchanting. it's kind of a sad thing how it lost nearly all of its oscar nominations to slumdog millionaire, but i believe it deserved every single one of those nominations. strangely, i had never seen brad pitt in a movie before this. he's a good actor.
