In Reply to: Munchhausen (Baky); anyone else seen this film? posted by Audiophilander on January 23, 2004 at 09:48:12:
I have. Boring as the remake. At the time ( 1943 ) The UfA studios were in the firm hands of Goebels " The Bock of Babelsberg " ( name of the emplacement of the studios ) and " bock " because he jump ( read fuck ) every actress he could.
They made all they could to let forget the reality of war, and so where a TOTAL propagadan instrument! The German main actor, the mainly arrogant ( my mother in law knew him..he was...) and selfishe Hans Alberts ( who stood to his jewish wife..a rarity at this period! ) had one of his best role.
Boring.
Follow Ups:
I do not find either film boring. The 1943 version is a little slow and "talky" getting off the ground, but it's worth the wait; some of the translated dialogue is actually quite witty. As for Baky's Munchhausen being a propaganda film, I disagree, unless you're trying to tell me that the lack of propaganda content makes the film a propaganda instrument. Funny, but this sounds like the kind of double talk I'd expect to read over on the Outside board. LOL!AuPh
Toward the end the film gets better, but it won´t save it.
You are wrong this WAS a propaganda film and let me explain why: You know the word " escapism "? That was the propaganda in it! It kepts people of the streets, at a moment were the war was turning sour for the Third Reich..It was time to distract the populationwith exotism and erotism as we can find both ingredients in this film.
But we will not be able to turn it in another...LOTR but only in an LOL.
Good evening!
