Why all the anti-semitism comments? It's truly pathetic how people think those who simply hold a different set of beliefs and bloodline are somehow inferior. What's ironic is Hitler was Christian - the last time I checked, Jesus was Jewish.
@tottiw91 of course, its a marketing reason. If a trailer were to be released today in the 4:3/1:33:1 ratio, people wouldnt want to see it, esspecailly with the HDTV era.
@Castaril I dont think it has to do with Jews and their fixation with WWII. You gotta think, WWII was the defining moment of the world for the 20th century, the whole world was completely different in September of 1945 than it was in September of 1939. How can cinema not be fixated on the one truly world changing event of the last century. Every single one of us is effected by World War Two, whether we were alive for it or not. Makes for some good stories, dont ya think?
@Castaril the director is not a Jew, you know the one who makes the movie, the person who owns the company (Warner Bros) never makes movies the company supports the directors and writers, you clearly don't know anything about the Film industry, so you need to stop with your anti-Zionist propaganda shit that that was founded in Northern California.
Does the title 'THE Good German' insinuate that the majority of Germans are/were "bad"? Stupid Americans will never understand what the German people have been through...
@Schredder222 you are being too sensitive, there is a movie called the Young Americans, does this imply all Americans are old? Re- what the germans have been through, Well its you guys who tend to start these wars, it always bound to end in misery for everyone including the instigator.
@lndac02 No I am not being too sensitive because almost every WWII movie insinuates the same thing. Schindler's List is another good example. They make out as though he was the only German who had a soul. It's ridiculous.
"Well its you guys who tend to start these wars. " That was an incredibly silly thing to say! Germany was involved in two world war that were rightly justified. America has been involved in how many wars since WWII??? None of which are slightly justified.
@Schredder222 You're over sensitive,Perhaps from watching too many American war movies. IF Germany had won WW2 then most if not all the Movies today would should show Churchill and Eisenhower as demons. The Germans make good war Movies, Das Boot comes straight to mind. I did not watch it and think the Germans were bad, even though they were killing merchant sailors at the beginniing. its called war! Good People do bad things in War, The German's were no exception. I'm sure 6 million Jews agree!
@lndac02 Yeah if Germany had won the war the movies would be about how Churchill and Eisenhower were demons but they wouldn't be called 'The Good Englishman' or 'The Good American' insinuating that the majority of the English and Americans were bad... I think the 100 + million Native American Indians, 1 million Vietnamese and 1 million Iraqis would agree.
@JasperJapsen No I agree with you 100%. I was simply retorting to Indac02's comment. No Hitler never wanted a war with Great Britain nor America. However I have no doubt Hitler would have despised Winston Churchill for to the drunken megalomaniac that he was.
In fact, there are no good Germans. There is no nation in the world a more loving one's neighbor and world peace than Germany (as long as they are weak), but may only grow in strength and see how many will be with their kindness! We, the Poles, we know all too well because for 1000 years ever invaded our land.
@Jastrzab78 Oh comon... you're an ass. I'm from Poland too... sa what? It's 2010 not 1943!!! GROWN UP!!! German are people as we are! so start thinking!!!!!!
@Jastrzab78 haha don't embarrasing yourself you rasist... I got two loving German friends and I know many kind and gentle German people and I don't think they'd want to kill me! so SHUT UP!!!
@Jastrzab78 Wake up, he? Did you ever were here in Germany and see the people? See that so much Germans think bad about the past. You, as a polish, can come to Germany but when I read lines like yours I'm not sure if I could come to Poland. So, who is more tolerant?
@Erumee My grandfather was in Germany after the Germans burned down his village for hiding enemies of Germany (three Jews). For this three, killed thirty men women and child, burned the village and all mens (my grandfather too) was deported to work and it was not the SS trops only ordinary German policemen force.
@Jastrzab78 I'm sorry about your grandfather, but what I meant was... Well, in the past it was normal to do things like that. I mean, you wrote it, they were three Jews and that was the dark time in Germany in which especially the Jews aren't "humans". The "normal" German didn't see a human in a Jew. But that's the past, not the present. Fucking past, yeah, and no German is proud of it but it's happened a long time ago. Times are changing.
And you are wrong for the Germans, because according to the Nuremberg laws, Jews were considered to be human only were inferior human race (racism). Do not tell anyone here that were considered to be animals or plants.
Treatment of inferior race is another matter. And the best talking about the then saying "Kick the stones, kick a dog, kick a Jew or a Pole with no difference just more shit on your shoe"
@Jastrzab78 hmmmm.... may I tell you something important? Well, your grandfather is/was MUCH OLDER than you! He lived in different age during world war 2 (?)
Beside that Polish were also doing horrible things to other people...
and I'll write it once again... It's not 1943 anymore!!! We're all the same people now!
Hahaha, the good german. As if there is such a thing. After we lost the war, we were the very definition of evil. Well, and the dirty japs, too. They took some of the heat off of us. The imminent war with the russians, too. Nobody expected we'd get our way out of that one.
At least we're able to laugh at our misfortunes and delusions of grandeur.
stupid warner brothers marketed this movie wrong, its a great trailer but I would have love to have seen it done in the same 1940s style as the film itself
George Clooney plays the same do-gooder pretentious hero in every film so that he can brainwash people into thinking his socialistic politics is good and compassionate in real life.
Yeah, thanks for your input. Your opinion has been considered and flushed down the crapper as retarded. Now, please go back to masturbating to your old collection of 1950s anti-Russian propaganda DVDs.
I haven't even watched the trailer yet, was looking for it cause I only know the title of this and the cast for the moment being, but even so, all I can say when I read something like this is that I "pity" those so intolerant as to consider only they can possibly know how things are AND should be in addition...
You might be "over such enternainment" but you wouldn't be above taking lessons to read what people write in a correct way. I have no problem with you having an opinion, should I find it different from mine that is a fact that won't change. And what's more, haven't I said that I didn't even know this film ?
I was refering to the "I pity those". "Those" like what they decide to enjoy, just like you do. You don't get to put them down or judge them inferior for that. Granted, you get to have your opinion, but you shouldn't forget that it's the only thing it's ever gonna be : Not THE truth, only your own little opinion !
oh c'mon! this is one of the best movies I've seen. seriously. im 19 and I luv my cinema from lawrence of arabia to spiderman 3 and everyfin inbetween. Theres so much shyte in cinemas now, films with more CGI than sense and altho there were many great films in 2006 this is one of the few gems that deserved alot more notice. I appreciate Soderburgh's vision, Clooney brings such a strong presence - he's great as the eyes of the audience. Oh and as for Blanchett...seems like she can do no wrong.
I think this movie sucked... There shouldn't be sex scenes in Black and White movies but none the less if there is to be a modern day Black and white movie, George Clooney and Cate Blanchett are perfect for it
cate was so brilliant i wish i could watch all of her movies...lena brandt is so awesome especially the actress that played her character .cate blanchett...you're my idol,dude!!!!
its 1945 ... if you knew a bit about history you would have imagined that it was in this time 'cause in the trailer they say "the war has just ended" and the end of the WW2 was in 1945...
Why all the anti-semitism comments? It's truly pathetic how people think those who simply hold a different set of beliefs and bloodline are somehow inferior. What's ironic is Hitler was Christian - the last time I checked, Jesus was Jewish.
