Naïve Old Fart 9,553 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Chen G. said: That's not the point. Whenever you bring Nazis to the table, the audience is already preconditioned (and rightly so) to hate them, even before they do anything villanous. The villain's backstory is in the audience's existing knowledge base. There are exceptions to the rule. CONSPIRACY won you over with the sheer pragmatic logic of the Final Solution, devised on a weekend in the country. As a piece of drama, one admires the utter mundane ordinaryness, of it all. VALKYRIE, on the other hand, says "no more. He's gone too far". The characters recognise the need to save Germany, by sacrificing its leader.

John Wells is great, in that. I don't mind "her" at the end of AMAROK, either. A-tac to St. Cyril's. A-tac to St. Cyril's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Zimmer 211 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Btw Fiennes as Voldemort was rather underwhelming. In the books he is horrifying in every possible way. In the films he was rather goofy at times and just not that menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
