Stalingrad (1993) seems like something I would enjoy a lot.
is definitely worth watching. Be warned, though, it‘s brutal. Think it is important to choose an appropriate time to watch war movies that are brutal. I remember seeing Come and See (1985) which was also very brutal but I enjoyed the movie. I may not have enjoyed that if watched it while I was in a bad mood. Another that I found haunting was Grave of the Fireflies. |

I used to think that you are the oldest person here and something like 85 years old. Close! But unlike many old people I have not grown cranky and bitter. Not that I find anyone cranky and bitter here but I think even if I did I wouldn't mind much. I am 33 years old and already live a very isolated life. I changed my phone number and have not given it to anyone except family and a couple of friends. I also changed my country and most of school and Uni friends probably do not even know my whereabouts. |

Adelheid (1969) from Czechoslovakian director Frantisek Vlácil is an excellent film set in the immediate aftermath of the war. The absorbing drama tells of the plight of Ethnic Germans who for centuries have lived in the eastern border areas near Poland known as the Sudetenland in Northern Moravia . A returning Czech airman is given management of a large German estate, the former owner was a Nazi officer who is missing in action along with the son, but the daughter still remains. Adelheid is assigned to Victor as his servant, outside in the field the German women are identified ty their white armbands... The Czechoslovakian treatment of this German community following the war involved appropriation of property, expulsion and mistreatment. With the moving of borders around 3 million Germans were displaced from their homelands. Director Frantisek Vlácil's film is an incisive portrayal of what once had been a taboo subject , it is an insightful beautifully filmed multi layered drama, nothing less from the from the Czech master.
