A realistic and excellent film that is based on facts from two books. One of them written by Hitler's personal secretary Traudl Junge. The acting is excellent especially Bruno Ganz who is outstanding as Hitler.
This is a German film with subtitles for English.
The fact that it is in German adds to the realism of the film.
I think all the people in the Hitler regime (the Third Reich) were guilty of the worst crimes against humanity. Including Albert Speer (Hitler's architect) and Traudi Junge (Hitler's secretary)

There are some very nice photos of George and The Beatles.
The hand written lyrics of George's songs show an insight into how he wrote them.
He accounts of growing up with his family struggling in a council flat in Liverpool and the early years with The Beatles and then to fame, fortune and spiritual enlightenment.There are some very nice photos of George and The Beatles.

This film is over 2 hours and yet by the end you know very little about Kurt Cobain or Nirvana.
Dave Grohl was not interviewed in the film, probably because he did'nt want to be involved.
This film exploits Kurt with alot of the content and style it is directed.
The films 'Nirvana - Live Tonight Sold Out' and 'Kurt Cobain: About A Son' are better alternatives.This film is over 2 hours and yet by the end you know very little about Kurt Cobain or Nirvana.

A very well written and interesting book.
It is written in a stream of consciousness and poetic style.
Quotations
- In New Orleans you could almost see other dimensions. There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again. Chronic melancholia hanging from the trees. You never get tired of it. Chapter 4, Oh Mercy Page 181
- I had the thick acetate of the Robert Johnson record in my hands. From the first note the vibrations from the loudspeaker made my hair stand up. The stabbing sounds from the guitar could almost break a window. Chapter 5, River Of Ice Page 282
