Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothers?
Hiya folks,
I watched this over the weekend, i thoroughly enjoyed it. I laughed , cried and was nearly sick. I felt desperation for them, elation, sadness, shared their hatred... watch and see what you think.

I loved the detail of the DRK... something for the girls to draw ideas from.

Speaking of such...(Great stuff by the way!)
I really do think it's about time for a German band of brothers...
I'm thinking of staying in the same topic, para, but this time FJ. What about the 6th FJ Regiment or the 1st...I mean you could make it even longer than BOB. I know the event on Crete would be costly...but imagine that on the big screen!!!

Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
Gary, I work in film, and have always thought the same. I was thinking about doing a low-budget short about Kreta, and seeing if I can get the ball rolling on a proper script. All from the German perspective, and the heartache that campaign was.Jaws wrote:If anyone from hollywood is reading this... contact me trust me, Kreta would make a fookin brilliant war film... !

Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
No offence intended...but I think if one will do a FJ version of BOB I think that it should be HBO that sponsors it and give it all they can give...if you're gonna make a movie about the Germans it has to be epic...as people will be going in with critisisme in their mind already (Just because it's about the "baddies") so one has to make sure that you can't give them stuff to complain about...a low budget film might do that...Goethe wrote:Gary, I work in film, and have always thought the same.

Imagine LOTR filmed by a low budget group...too many fans would be crying their pants off.

Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
It's amazing what you can do with connections via the reenacting community, film community, and kameraden who share the same passion. Low budget or not, it all lies in the resources and knowledge of the period. I feel like I could do a great short film, at cost, and do great justice to one of the many stories from that period.Oberleutnant Ulrich wrote:

I want to make it happen.
Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
I've seen a lot of HBO stuff , and it's great - but I've also seen a lot of great European productions . HBOs " style " lends itself to a very American view of things , I think it might struggle to " get its head round " a German point of view . As to the series in question , it's excellent !

I agree to some extent, again no offence intended to anyone, but you might get a great group of guys together all with perfect impressions (almost impossible though ) but then, like most reenactors they are all in their 40s...then if you film a FJ movie...it just won't cut it despite the best intentions. Don't get me wrong, not trying to kill your idea, it's just limited to what we have today...we need more young lads!!!
Halle, they might come around when they figure out that they are out of material but I hope they decide to do something like this before they think of playing Marvel and remaking another spiderman movie

Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
Seems to me , as a former British Army Airborne soldier, AND as a grandson of a real German veteran, (Russian front 1943 Dubno) , that Hollywood would DEFINATELY NOT go down that road. 1 , because its far too easy for the "history" into ww2 to stay as it is..ie, to the "victor", and 2, because not enough of the viewers who will see the film KNOW how "real" war feels like. You can throw as much PYRO around as you like...but at the end of the day, no re-enactment can relive -35 to -50 degrees below zero, watching your Kameraden being blown to pieces by Katushers or mown down by machine gun fire, or watching their homeland being RAPED by the Russians. !
Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
I love this. I love the characters, the story lines..Excellent stuff!
Re: Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter... the german band of brothe
I thought the movie was great!..The only flaw I seen was most soldaten were not wearing A-frame bags with their A-frames...But that is not a huge deal....Overall.I have to give it two thumbs up!
