It even seems that Lola can return in time, and try to re-do everything again, but with a light difference, until it works. Which shows some huge flaws in the plot.

But it just a movie you'll really enjoy, and is a bit able to stick with you.

Actually the whole hype about this movie is cause the German cinema had been in some kind of depression since the Sound was introduced to cinema, and that was the movie that seemed to rise the German scene from the ashes.

I can see what you are saying but directors like Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Werner Herzog were flying the flag for German cinema long before but I agree that the 80's were a lean time for Germany.

They were great German directors, but it stayed a bit individual fame. It wasn't like a strong German movement (Like in the 20s). They did eventually become famous outside Germany, and that's where they stayed mostly.

It's like when Fritz Lang went to the US, at the time of the Nazis. He then filmed M which can be considered one of his best, but that didn't do any good to the German scene.

Now in Germany, there's some kind of a Boom since the late 90s. At least that's what they themselves have found, and that's what they're hoping for.

Nooooo, not tonight. I wasn't tired at my first post and now I'm almost falling asleep, I'll face it tomorrow. I might like it. If its boring I'll hate it. Anything that keeps my attention is worth watching though

NumberNineDream · 11-03-2009, 07:47 PM

I was never able to watch more than 5 minutes. But that's just me.

Edit: Thought I save myself a double post.

They're showing right now on TV The Truman Show. I love that movie, I haven't watched it since I was 8 years-old!!
Such a blast from the past that one.

This movie was pretty bizarre, too. The lead character was one of the biggest pussies I had even seen.

This movie is one of my favorite movies ever.
If you didn't like it I'd suggest giving it a second viewing.
