Audience Member There are just few films that talked something else than nazi germans and a whole population glorificating Adolf Hitler...In this movie, actually based in a real event and in real caracters, show you really inside the life of the german and foreigner population in that city during one of the most longest bombings during the world war second. A really dramatic and heart breaking movie, a very good made one, with a sort of new perspective of what i guess it the new wave of reviews made of the young german generation about their parents and grandparents lives. It is not my favorite but a pretty good made and interesting one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent!!! Beautifully done! Very, very nice drama with suspense, romance, action, etc.....and based around actual events that happened. I love how they occasionally added in actual true newsreels from that time, also. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good, well done historical fiction story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent and compelling bit of historical fiction based around the sickening bombing of Dresden. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice to see the German perspective of events. It surely was a terrible action and in reflection had nothing to do with the outcome of the war. All points of view are catered for and truly shows the horror, of the only firestorm outside of Hiroshima. The love interest is a bit like the one that happens in 'Titanic' but thankfully less sentimental and does not get in the way of the important story. The horror effect of the most heavy carpet bombing, with incendiary devices is evident and the controversy will never end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Impressive tv movie with breathtaking sequences Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite being made in Germany, this was well acted, loved expensive and the dialogues not as stilted as usual in German films. Excellent effects of the bombing of Dresden and well brought in old original film footage. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
