Die Fälscher (2007)
Powerful historical story I never knew about before watching
Wow, what a movie. I was mesmerized the entire time. I love historical dramas based on fact or are factual in nature. this one was actually based on fact, and I had no idea about this happening before watching the movie. The cinematography was very good, and the ambiance of the movie fit the storyline. The personalities of each of the prisoners was well thought out. Seeing them existing in a different environment than what many of the other holocaust victims lived through, was very telling. Seeing how the Germans needed them, yet still wanted to treat them like scum, but could not if they wanted to "win the war", fascinated me. Overall, a powerful movie that anyone interested in the Germans and World War II and the holocaust subject matters, should see.
Night Train (2009)
This movie sucks
I could not get into this movie whatsoever. I kept thinking "what stupid plot line will they try to come up with next?" First, the train is so old, I thought it was a period piece. Then I saw a cell phone. They never explain why this is such an old train still running. The actors are dressed as if they wanted this to be a period piece, especially the first dead guy, who has the mysterious box. No one ever explains why this box is so important, where it comes from (until the Asian guy gives SOME type of explanation, and it all sounds canned). Every time someone looks into the box, I feel like laughing at how stupid they look. Then, sometimes the box is hot, sometimes it's okay to touch. The fact that LeeLee Sobiesky's character is all of a sudden connected to this box by saying "I've been looking for this box for the past 15 years" - what a joke. Then they need to chop up the body, so it will fit into a piece of luggage, instead of just putting it into a sheet, so they can dump it into a river. And then the box hits a fisherman and the body falls out? Come on. Then there's the older "lady" with a dog, which is so easy to see that this is a man dressed up as a woman. For what reason, we never really know, just like with most of the characters in this stupid movie. What a waste of $5 - glad I didn't waste the money at the theatre. Nothing is answered to any depth as to why what is happening, happens. Not recommended unless you want to waste your money and your time.
