Following on from obviously Downfall but before that Stallingrad, German war films are now the best produced in this modern era.

The Captain does not shy away from the past, it confronts and makes for a deeply disturbing watch and the credits is just doing that in a comical way.

Modern Hollywood takes the easy way out with WW2 movies, it has to be about morals etc and not showing the truth as it is was.

Savinf Private Ryan is that, the landing sequence was that , it started well and showed the true horrors but then Hollywood took over ...

The captain does not do that, it shows it as it was and how it was to be.

One of the best war movies I have seen.

As I sit here I am an old fart with with a 13 year old daughter so it is easy to say what she misses. But seriously this was it for people of my generation. I never knew any swap shop kids, maybe as a Brummie there was only one show to watch ?

But even now it makes me smile and laugh, because it was what child life should e, pushing the boundaries and anarchy. The likes of Ant and Dec and Dick and Dom are just pale imitations ...

And yes all I have to say is sally James !
