Is it any good? It’s on my list of to-see’s.
I have not seen it yet. It rates okay on IMDB. The fake news media doesn't like it according to my googling, so it must be okay.
Thanks!
IMO it isn't the best of what Angel has put out from an American standpoint (ie underdog always wins & there is always a great triumph around the corner).
That said, it is a great film that portrays the man & is a fantastic drama style film.
Go in recognizing it is a film to honor the man who held his Christian beliefs until the very end, & it exposed me to Bonhoffer.
As an American who grew up on dramas & action movies where the good guy always wins, it just felt like I had been let down. Many of my friends who emigrated to the US think I am nuts & that this is a fantastic Drama.
Definately worth a watch & I strongly recommend it, but I have a hard time wanting to see it again, likely due to my Gen X, good guys always win attitude. I wish it had gone on to show how much his sacrifice has helped shape & change the world since his end. Another 5-10 minutes of how his life effected the world would have absolutely made it one of the best films of WW2, that isn't focused on battle, I have ever seen.
Lots of biblical stories end with the protagonist not winning in a worldly manner, as nice as the last century+’s underdog template is.
I’ve been meaning to watch it for some time, it’s definitely on my list.
