Most amazing action scene.

Yes.

I'm used to the British and American films that are always shown...and not the keenest on anything European...with good reason too. The French films are so looong and draaawn oooout...though the German films aren't too bad.

Talking about German films, has anyone seen Run Lola Run?

Yeah, why did no one have a gun? If they had a gun he would have been dead 50 times over and again.

Because it's a film! The only time they'd have a gun in a scene like that would be if it was the last scene and the main guy absolutely had to die.

Talking about German films, has anyone seen Run Lola Run?

Run Lola Run kicks my ass in awesomeness. Its in my top 10 films of all time.

It's one of the films that shows the Germans can make good films.

I wonder how many people know that it was the Germans who started using different camera tricks first. For example a German filmmaker (can't remember their name, might have beena female) did loads of things for Hitler and his talks. She filmed the marching ranks from above as the marched through an archway, put a camera on a pole behind Hitler when he was talking and raised it to show the whole crowd. Amazing techniques that are used by people nowadays.

The only problem with RLR is the fact that it's in German. I can understand a lot of it from doing German lessons (and the subtitles of course...), but after a while I end up slipping into a "glazed eyes" state and ignoring any type of talking. You get the general idea by the shouting and the body language.

Great film.

"Triumph Of The Will" by Leni Riefenstahl.

That's the one! With the camera that moves up between the two Swastika flags.

Rather ironic that I couldn't remember the directors name...
