Rest & a Movie

Went to the "pictures" this afternoon & saw "Downfall" (Germany/English sub-titles) 2 & half hours depicting how Adolf Hitler lived out his last days in an underground bunker in Berlin...depressing & horrifying & relentlessly grim! I'm trying not to think about it anymore. I do not want to see another depressing movie for a long time..... they're too hard to throw off afterwards.

    Heard that "Downfall" is a good movie, if not exactly light entertainment. Me, I'm trying to get to see Star Wars before its out on DVD! You need to see something upbeat before the big event this weekend!!!

    Can't concur on "Downfall" ~ I found it an excellent film, certainly not light entertainment, but I didn't find it depressing.

    Not many sleeps now! Think of the warmer air and salt water.

    Much love

    LL, so sad that we won't be up at GC, but we'll be waiting for the race report with bated breath!

    I hope the movie doesn't spoil your sleep patterns. Enjoy it all :-) :-)

    I saw Downfall with my mother in law and sister in law a couple of weeks ago.. certainly hard going but such a well made film. We felt we had been watching a documentary made at the time rather than a movie.. we needed a nice glass of wine afterwards! Took me a few days to get over it but I think it's a great way to learn some history!

    I hope you have a fantastic run and look forward to reading all about it.
