Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2024 (77 movies items)

"22.2. 2024 To be a Nazi or not to be a Nazi? That is the question. Lubitsch directed his masterpiece as the Second World War was still raging. In order to show Nazism in a ridiculous light, Lubitsch knew that he only needed to show it like it is, in all its stupidity and unbearable ugliness.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: March (34 movies items)

"First viewing - Mar. 3rd I watched the remake of this film in *checks notes* 2012, and while I enjoyed it at the time I'd be lying if I said enough of it stuck with me to adequately compare the two. I knew some of the broad strokes, but that's about it. Not to worry though. This film works well enough regardless, with a solid cast and a decent story that kept me engaged throughout. It's pretty fun, not great in my book but easy to recommend to others looking for a good old-school comedy."

" Notes: To be honest, usually, even though I have a lot of respect for such old classic comedies, I find most of them rather dated and they never really blow me away (a notable exception would be the greatest masterpieces directed by Charles Chaplin which are just amazing and hilarious). This movie was however an exception and I seriously enjoyed it a lot. First of all, the whole thing was actually slightly weird as the makers tried to combined seamlessly a comedy and a thriller. It was a reall"
