Well, first of all it good to see a movie about German War heroes, after seeing so many WW1 and WW2 anti German and German almost portray as butchers and beast. IT good to see that now Germans are acknowledging their heroes. I truly believe any hero whether he was allied fighter or German fighter is a hero who server his country. The movie is much better than lots of Hollywood movies which are just Holocaust propaganda. Now a days if you want to win or want your movie to win an Oscar award all you have to do is make a movie with lot of propaganda about Holocaust.You will get Oscar. Take the example of "Inglourious Basterds" at least this movie is million times better than that. This movie would be excellent but it falls short little bit in every department. Acting was good but had it flaws, the War scene should be more intense and should include more. The director spend lots of time in air without any emotions. The Barron character should grow on you in two hours but failed. Overall its very watchable movie, except it doesn't show nonsense emotions like Hollywood movie usually shows, which I believe we are quite used to it after watching them for more than 30 years.
