Crowe shows us why he’s one of the last great movie stars as well as a brilliant performer, settling into the high-powered character actor phase of his career. Like Gene Hackman in his greatest ’80s and ’90s performances, Crowe has such a regular-guy energy that on those rare occasions when Göring is thwarted or disappointed and we get a glimpse of his capacity for overwhelming violence, it somehow comes as an unsetting surprise within the context of the scene, even though we know the man’s a killer.

When I was a kid I watched the WWII film “The Young Lions” on TV with my dad. It starred Marlon Brando as a German officer. There’s a scene where Brando’s character and another German are trying to escape capture from the Americans. My dad laughed at that. He said in real life they would have gladly surrendered to them.
You would not put any American citizens in an internment camp if there was a war with China, regardless of their heritage. You could intern or deport non-citizens.
Hopefully we won’t have to cross that bridge.
That was a good movie
I really wish there were more movies about Christians. Is it Christian guilt amongst the Hollywood directors that cause Christian based movies to be ignored?
One would think after the success of “Passion of the Christ” there would be a far greater effort to deliver more success.
Terrible movie, but at the end of “The Battle Of The Bulge”, those Germans seemed very happy to be surrendering to the Americans.

Sophie Scholl - The Final Days is a good movie, that highlights Sophie’s religious beliefs.
When it came to killing Communist Russians and non Communist Russians nobody came close to Old Joe Stalin.
Never saw that series.
My grandpa (on my mom’s side) was a SeaBee during WWII.
I’ve got a few pictures of him in San Diego, and then in Okinawa in 1944/1945.
And I will say, it was better for us that Stalin led the Soviet Union, instead of Trotsky.
**It would be fun for Russell Crowe to get the Oscar, but only if he doesn’t lose any weight between now and the ceremony. Field Marshall’s uniform optional.**
The uniform could have been done better-looked polyester. He should take off the weight. Show how serious he was preparing for the role. Lobby for the Oscar the same way Trump lobbied for it.
