Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

radiokonservativ Finally a WW2 movie from a German perspective without depicting the Germans as brainless monsters. The story and motivations of the characters are very close to reality. Very captive and emotional. And of course a very lovely cast.

imjesse-71246 Generation War was with Stalingrad probably one of the most realistic war movies, that I've ever seen.

blumdeluxe I already heard a lot of good criticism when I finally managed to watch this movie, which is not so common for most German films or series.With the variety of films and books already published on this topic it is not too easy to stand out and really create an impact. Even though I'm always skeptical towards "tv-events", I do think that this production has some points.First of all it shows you war in all it's absurdity, where friends become enemies, lose track, lose themselves and find together again in some cases. It shows that we should be very careful nowadays to talk about war and that peace is not a burden but a gift. Time and again it is awful to see what humans are capable of under the wrong circumstances or leadership. At several points in this plot, people cross each others ways again and you get to learn how different their paths went on.The acting is solid, the plot not predictable. It is a very German movie, I still don't really get why one can always tell that at first sight, but it probably has something to do with the way it is produced.My one major point of critique is that too often this movie isn't brave enough. It is just outstandingly unlikely that five people of such different origins would have survived that long. Since the movie is said to be based on real characters maybe indeed something unlikely happened but still there are several points throughout the movie where in my eyes the film had benefited if one of the characters really died instead of just making the audience think so to rise again due to some lucky chain of events.Still it is a powerful movie and everyone that needs to be remembered why peace is always the right choice to be made should maybe give it a try.

Lori Sloan First off... I don't think this contains any major spoilers, but if you want to be totally surprised by the mini-series, don't read it.This mini-series makes you realize that not all Germans were pro-Hitler/ anti-Jew. That many, many Germans were simply fighting for their country and ended up very disillusioned with Hitler and his lies. With his insanity and hatred. That blind loyalty to anything can be incredibly dangerous. That war is more Hellish than most of us civilians can ever imagine.The acting/ costumes/ sets were great. The characters did not develop they way I thought that they would. They all certainly aged in four years... they developed depth and wisdom that given a chance, they might give back for their innocence. It certainly didn't end the way I thought that it would. I wish there had been more to it. I wanted to see them after the war... I wanted to see how they readjusted to German society. Did they stay? Did they move? As soon as it was over, I was sad... I really wanted it to keep going for a while.
