Todesspiel (1997 TV Movie)

The best documentary I've ever seen.

[10/10 · 27 April 2000]

Das Todesspiel by Heinrich Breloer is the best documentary I've ever seen. As I've experienced the time of the terrorism in germany ( in the 70's) as a child, I learned a lot by watching this great movie.

Especially the interviews with the involved people like the former chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Mrs. Schleyer or Souhaila Andrawes, are shown very carefully but they make you feel, what these people thought and felt in this time.

If you want to know and to learn about this difficult chapter in german history, you just have to watch this documentary!!!

The Fifth Element (1997)

A firework of images

[10/10 · 7 March 2000]

The 5th Element is a firework of images, and I really enjoyed it very much. Sure, at the end it's "Bruce-Willis-saves-the-world", but in the meantime, the acting especially of Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovich is great and sometimes breathtaking. You can see the french influence by Luc Besson and Jean-Paul Gaultier in every single second of this great film. It's SciFi for those who don't like SciFi and it's also great for SciFi-Fans. A great film, so I gave it a 9.
