Benedict is certainly giving his A game here.
Not that he doesn't always but this film is going to be intense.

I know it's only a snippet, but I find that clip so intense.
All the more heartbreaking because it's a real story, and the brutal injustice really happened

Tinks, that's so true. I'm sure it would be heartbreaking even if it were just a fictional story, but the fact that it really happened... that's going to send shivers down my spine more than once, I'm sure.

Solar, you really test how much my heart can handle ...

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 22, 2014 1:45 pm

I know. And I'll stop it now. Let's wait for the whole movie.

How am I suppose to stay sane till premiere with pictures like this? You're not making this easier, Solar

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 22, 2014 1:57 pm

Sometimes I just get carried away a bit. Sorry.

Now go sit quitely in the corner and think about what you've done.

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 22, 2014 2:11 pm

Done, tonnaree. May I continue now?

**Posted by gently69** July 22, 2014 2:13 pm

Thank you so much, Solar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Posted by SolarSystem** July 22, 2014 2:24 pm

I've got one more, gently (because this has gotten out of hand already anyway...).

**Posted by gently69** July 22, 2014 2:25 pm

I guess, that film will be really really hard for me ... if I already find those pics that moving. Can't describe how much I am looking forward to watch it!

Aaaand I'm crying again

Remind me not to wear makeup when going to see this (if it makes it to Denmark)... My heart is aching so much.

The trailer looks fantastic. I honestly can't wait to see this one, and not just because of Benedict.

However, watching WWII themed things on TV or in the cinema always has a bit of a strange aftertaste for me (as a German). I despise the Nazi regime as much as the next gal, but there's always a tiny, hidden patriot in me that winces when Germany is being denounced. I can't even rationally explain it, because I'm definitely anti-Nazi and don't in the least condone what Hitler did. The war was a terrible thing that should never have happened, and I darn well wish politcal leaders of today would have learned more from it.

Me too! I haven't been this eager to see a Movie in a long time.
I know it will be difficult though because I'll be not just sad, but angry too.
I'm so glad he's playing this role, because I know he'll have done his absolute best to do justice to Alan.

I can't stop watching the trailers. I also can't stop thinking about that one clip in the US version when he's crying...

The acting is absolutely spectacular and I can't even begin to describe the excitement to see his work in full. If 2 and a half minutes can make emotional, god help me when I watch the film.
