Gotta agree with you there Steed. I really thought the shots of when everyone in the cellar is haveing a huge party and outside the city is falling apart was very well done. It just made me thing they did not want to face up to what was going to happen to them so they tryed to lose themselfs in drink. Was glad the truedel Jungel made it out safe she just seem to be a rabbit caught in the headlights.
This was really a great movie. I liked how the theme of loyalty was explored. In this regard in reminded me a lot of Oberst Redl.

I always laugh when I see folks who are supposed to be in charge throwing things. I know in the Army showing outward signs of frustration is seriously frowned upon, and can really tank you on your efficiency report. From my friends who attended Ranger School, I also heard that throwing you canteen, ruck, or helmet is a good way to get yourself "voted" out of Ranger School.
