summersdreamI know you have a weird love of The Red Baron, but sobbing like a 12-year-old at the first screening of Titanic over a biopic is NOT COOL. You know HOW IT ENDS. You knew going in! You read the biographies! I don't care how awesome Til Schweiger is as Werner Voss or how awesome the actor playing Manfred is, you don't get to end it crying. And his girlfriend is Cersei Lannister, c'moon! And Joseph Feinnes is in this. You know better!
... sigh.
Stupid Roy Brown. Well, ok Brown/Cedric Popkin/WJ Evans/Robert Buie/Great Ceasar/s Ghost/etc.
And yeah, I don't get my weird love of semi-obscure WWI heroes either. I just go with it. LAFAYETTE ESCADRILLE! *ahem* Sorry. But they deserved a better movie. :(
Why are there not more WWI movies? It essentially made the world of the 20th century an the 21st for that matter. Tons of crap is the way it is BECAUSE of that war- WWII is BECAUSE of WWI... seriously, people! It's full of all these awesome stories and utter tragedy and terror... the trenches were hell on earth... no man's land... mustard gas... the beginning of aviation... the assassination of Franz Ferdinand... empires falling apart... the balkans, the middle east, the ottoman empire, the austro-hungarian empire... russia... SIGH. But yeah, there's no Nazis, so it's boring, I guess.
