A friend gave me a copy of "Dresden" and I watched it many times before giving it back and ordering my own copy. I watched the movie several times for different reasons: 1. History, 2. View from the German side, 3. View from the British side, 4. Acting skills. I love the movie, am impressed with F. Woll's in the main role. I think some scenes were too Hollywood, loved the honesty of the script, not too much violence, but one can start to feel the horror of the bombings and being trapped in cellars and on the ground by the devastating fires. I was a mistake, a big one, History was destroyed as it often is in wars. Did the Germans deserve this so much emotionally human reaction? Yes and No. Not only the Germans or the people of Dresden lost a jewel.
