Ronja Rövardotter (1984)
Nostalgy
I believe that especially all Swedish people born in the 70's have a very special relation to this wonderful movie of Astrid Lindgren. Since I am one of those born in the 70's, this movie is a part of my childhood and I can't give it anything less than a perfect score. One of those movies that every parent are obligated to let your children watch! (Although it is a movie for children, I also believe that parents can appreciate it, by the way...)
U-571 (2000)
Frightening
Although there's been hundreds of angry posts concerning the rewriting of history, I'm shocked that there's still many posts who comment this movie as superb warmovie. It's clear that these people know little or nothing about what happened a little bit more than half a decade ago.
These days, when people (especially young people) rather watches TV, than picking up a book or a newspaper to learn something about the past and the present, moviemakers DO have a responsibility. I must say, that I'm deeply worried about people watching this movie will believe that it's what really happened. In a movie like this one, it's hard to separate facts from fiction if you don't know the true history in advance. This is why I have to give this movie a low score.
Finally, Mostow's comment on Germans as not being portraited as the Nazi's they are, is just one of the most stupid and naive comments I've heard in this context. How anyone can judge an entire population just because of a lunatic like Hitler is beyond my mind.
