    King or peasant. Some things are universal.
    Yeah, blame the women for men’s lack of self control and discipline is universal.

    .

    Just watching Downfall, haven't seen it for a while, truly wonderful film. Bruno Ganz's Hitler is a tour de force, sadly he died very recently.

    Here is the original scene! You need to turn on captions.

    I like that movie so much, I have seen in three times. The actor who plays Hitler is simply incredible. It is a complex and nuanced movie on many levels, but one of the most compelling aspects to me is the portrayal of Hitler actually having some decent human qualities, juxtaposed against the genuine monster inside him. That is a real and compelling depiction of evil, chap. Cartoon-type evil does not exist in the real world. And that takes some great acting to pull off.

    My other contribution to the World War 2 genre is The Zookeepers Wife.

    I do not think I will ever get tired of Nazis being outwitted by Poles, Jews, and Russians. That crap is right up my alley!

    This movie was bloody good.

    The Zookeeper's Wife is a 2017 war drama film directed by Niki Caro, written by Angela Workman and based on Diane Ackerman's non-fiction book of the same name. The film tells the true story of how Jan and Antonina Żabiński rescued hundreds of Jews from the Germans by hiding them in their Warsaw zoo during World War II.

    Default Trotsky

    I am only on episode two, but this thing is pretty bloody good. I believe it would appeal to any thoughtful student of world history. Revolution, civil war, murder, sex, megalomaniac maniacs...what's not to like?

    Trotsky is a Russian biographical eight-episode television mini-series about Leon Trotsky directed by Alexander Kott and Konstantin Statsky. The series stars Konstantin Khabensky in the title role. It debuted on Channel One in Russia on 6 November 2017, for the centenary of the Russian Revolution. The series is a rare high-budget artistic representation of Trotsky in post-Soviet Russia, as his name was a taboo during most of the Soviet period.

    Four reasons to watch 'Trotsky' on Netflix
    Lenin’s comrade-in-arms, one of the leaders of the 1917 revolution, creator of the Red Army, murdered with an ice pick in Mexico on Uncle Joe’s orders—no one would accuse Leon Trotsky of having a boring life. Watch this new series on Netflix, and decide for yourself who he was: bespectacled intellectual, military genius, talented stump orator, power-hungry devil? Perhaps all of the above.
