i quite agree with cate...only a german actor should have been cast as the commander, and the movie must absolutely have been filmed primarily in the original german...to do otherwise would have been to lose something essential in the story. as for jp, i first saw this movie when the dc was released in 1997, and as scruffy as he became over the course of the film, he was still riveting. his eyes expressed so much more than words ever could in so many scenes. as i watch the film again, i have to remind myself than he's acting. he becomes hlw. i was thrilled to find out that there were actual people behind these characters. i don't mind telling you that, if i could go back in time and speak german, i would love to go back in time to meet hlw in 1941 france. if i were a nurse or telephone operator, he'd be my dream date!
i'd settle for going back to 1981 west germany and shaking hands with jp. he's not an oil painting, but then, who is? any man who can emote with just his eyes like that is unbelievably sexy, in my book!
