How I Fell in Love with a Gangster

SOLID 8!!(almost a 9!!) Why? Read about this below: This movie is really well made , filmed, dosent look at any moment cheap or " just made " because of it , the creators put alot thought in this and you can see it.

Acting very good from all actors ( Main actor has a new Fan in me , gonna check out his other work for sure ) Camera work/different/changing(that warehouse camera work excellent !!) angles and capturing moments/pictures excelent Capturing feelings, moods and showing it through video is fantastic like when he takes the first time cocaine etc When he opens the door at the Gala, and then stands there in front of his wife and his old apartment as his younger himself, I felt that! Been through a lot in a 3 hours long film , I felt that nostalgic moment 'what a different life it was back then' Loved the symbolic usage in this movie like that the last window is fake/only decoration ( a peaceful night with a moon and a endless lake / the end for him ) and it's on a brick wall , so he can't escape anymore like previously before , it's the end of the road. And there is many of sympolic scenes in this.

You couldn't end the movie better , it ends on a positive feeling despite showing him dead ( real footage ) I think the creators did the family justice with this . What I didn't like that much: first and only that's why it isn't a straight 9 on my list!!

-Why do the native Germans don't speak Fluent German? ( me as polish/German ) bothered this so much!! , and this mistake could be so easy to be avoid ( especially when it's a big part of the story what is based on real life ) only the Police Defective guy was speaking German Okey'ish. ( wish I would understand German for that time , big no go )

-The Downfall came a little quick

Other then that 3 hours or not if you like crime/gangster movies this is a TREAT!!

( ah yes before I forget THE music, freakinggggg great fits in every scene, perfect symbiosis between picture and music )
