I guess that I am that guy.... I won´t start this discussion again but if you like go through that thread you were aiming at and you might notice that it was all about patches and the way these patches and "copyrights" are protected and some other PF-members raising concerns about possible consequences for "copyright-violators" even suggesting to remove this patch as a precaution from the miniature (that in fact gloryfies bikers in a nice way).Another funny twist is the guy who didn't give a stuff about the H.A. copyright finding internet piracy a terrible thing Looking forward to catching it on the Beeb

Funny twist in the discussion - pirated copies of the film get recommended and their availabilty at certain platforms gets advertised. I wonder what would happen over here if a shop gets recommended where you can get good (pirated) copies of miniatures.....
About the film: The producer states that the story is based on memories of real persons. So I hoped the plot would represent the average fate of members of the "generation war". But then all main characters need to be drawn into certain events to transmit the film`s message about "our" mothers and fathers and so the plot becomes to me at times doubtful although there is so much attention paid to historical correct attire and general "look" of the actors. If further for example the rape of character Charlotte is prevented by her former victim (the Jewish nurse) who tells that the Red Army soldiers are liberators and not rapists the film at moments gets even a slight flavor of propaganda in my eyes and surely leaves out the memories of many other real persons.
- To show "the truth" or "how it really was" is anyhow a task next to impossible im my eyes -
This is of course just my view and it should turn nobody else off from taking a look at this miniseries and coming maybe to a totally different conclusion.
