-Comment: - 2 boys at school in different sailor suits and a woman with a white sailor collar, 3 stripes and young Marcel (Filip Jarek, pictured below) in historical clothing. School scenes, so also other boys in historical clothing. But I don't know of any in sailor suits or Lederhosen yet. Of cource also Germans in uniforms of the 1930s/1940s. Later also set in the mid 50s.

I don't like wars, violent scenes and racism, but I will watch and record this movie.

Based on his bestselling autobiography.

ALSO THIS EVENING: "Around the Wold In 80 Days (2004)" with historical clothing, but probably no sailor suits nor Lederhosen, maybe similar.

Tomorrow: Hook (1991). Some Heimatfilms this week, but I don't know of any good ones featuring Lederhosen.

Update: After watching it I saw 2 boys at school in sailor suits. One in a white sailor suit, white collar, white dickey, 2 stripes, another one in a green sailor suit, white collar, 3 stripes. Only this short scene. I also expected muuch more childhood scenes. The movie itself is also poor. Typical WWII drama, nothing special. No good uniform scenes either. Schweighöfer was acting quite good. And the young Marcel. There are much better movies.

Originally rated 4, now 2-3 for both sailor suit scenes and the film.
