Crazy, what's next, a nazi movie released in germany?

[–] Brocon 74 points 3 months ago (6 children)

As a german, I wish someone made some more of these. Because people seem to have forgotten about the horrors of WW2.

More? It feels like nine out of ten war movies focus on WW2. You can't throw a stone at IMDB without hitting three WW2 movies and a series along the way.

I think they mean new, so people will watch right now and maybe think to stop genociding people and giving power to fascists

The last good ww2 movie was Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. 1917 is good also

I think they were referring to the fact that World War 2 didn't start until 1939. The film 1917 and the year take place during World War 1.

Edited for clarification

This is why 1917 is in another sentence and there's no comma after my first sentence. I would assume most people know 1917 is WW1. I was referring to the comment in this thread of more people needing to see more war movies in order "to stop genociding people and giving power to fascists".

Lmao thank you for that. I was skimming and thought they were just talking about good films about war

[–] ripcord 1 points 3 months ago

Right, it's clearly a movie about the war of 1812

1917 has to be my favorite WW2 movie of all time

I feel like more people need to "forget" the /s

The Zone of Interest was so good but even it got misunderstood

[–] jeffw 7 points 3 months ago

Nothing will beat Downfall in terms of German movies on WWII

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

You had one that Hitler just revived in the parking lot he died and he started talking with some people and it was chilling as fuck. Like tou are talking about how immigration is shit with a guy dressed as Fuckin HITLER!?

[–] Zahille7 2 points 3 months ago

I watched part of that movie. It was weird.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

There have been so many movies and series just the past few years though... many really good too, and many that go pretty far in showing how horrible the nazis were.

[–] Siegfried -5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

So, you need more films? I guess hollywood just ran out of ideas.... What about a film of nazis in a desertish mediterranean setup, fighting natives with modern american weapons, because idk... time travel? And spoken entirely in hebrew?
