Narvik: Hitler’s First Defeat

2022 1h 48m Drama / History

*** begin quote ***   

April 1940. The eyes of the world are on Narvik, a small town in northern Norway, source of the iron ore needed for Hitler’s war machinery. Through two months of fierce winter warfare, Hitler is dealt his first defeat.

*** end quote ***

From a civilian Mom’s pov.

Essentially, she is faced with a Sophie’s choice decision.

Not to spoil it, you learn that you have to decide for yourself what is your best course of action for you and yours.

Hard to criticize anyone who is not living through the decision.

Politics aside, it also teaches that you can’t trust politicians and bureaucrats!

NOTRECOMMENDED: Napoleon (2023)

Napoleon (2023)

# – # – # – # – # 

Save your money and wait for it on free tv.

The only thing good was the costumes.

And, if you weren’t anti-war before the movie, you would be after it.  Marching lines of people into cannons is the height of stupidity.  And, why would Joe Grunt do it?

Argh!

Dona Nobis Pacem

RECOMMENDED: “The Invention of Lying”; just to true

Thursday, March 18, 2010

The first lie ever told: “$800”!

Theology on two pizza boxes?

Stephanie March demanding sex. (Every boy’s dream?) “When he tests his discovery of lying by telling a woman that the world will end unless she has sex with him at that very moment but backs out at the last minute by claiming to have a phone call from NASA telling him the world is not going to end now.” ROFL!

“Let me know if you’ve lowered your standards.” (Too hot for me?)

“Man In The Sky forbid!”

Unfortunately, it’s a law of Nature that “hot” girls look down on fat old white guys with or without a “snub nose”. Sigh!

Hey, for a $1 from redbox and two hours of my life, recommended.

Hmmm!

Sweet and the bird steals the show.

Seriously, was it debunking self-help gurus (i.e.: the guru’s realization that he practices none of the principles he teaches)? Tony Robbins came to mind.

Hey for a dollar from redbox. How bad could it be?

I found it funny.

And, took a good message away. “A-OK”?
