Why didn't you like Dancer in The Dark, Minna? I'm just curious. I think it was a great movie, very dark and sad but I loved it. I think David Morse is one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood and he did a fantastic role in this movie. The weak man in a friendly disguise... it was so chilling! Peter was great too, the lovelorn man waiting to be loved in return.
One of the most hilarious scenes in the movie is the scene where the boy got a bike for birthday present and is learning to ride it. David Morse and Peter are standing side by side, watching the boy and suddenly Peter says: "Women and rust are the same." David turns to him, astonished, and asks "What?!". Peter says again: "Women and rust are the same. My father used to say that. I never knew what he ment." And they both burst into laughter and turn away from the camera. It is soooooo funny and it gives me a warm feeling. I wondered if David and Peter became friends during the shoot.
Some facts about the life and times of Ernst Röhm - there might be some minor spoilers, so who wants to avoid them at all costs, might want to skip the following:
Ernst Röhm was one of the oldest leaders Hitler had by his side, he took command of the SA in 1921. He did have some disagreements with Hitler and when Röhm in one speech declared that SA is the true army of National Sozialism they became hostile to each other. A list was made in great secrecy of the leaders who should be executed, Röhm was among them. Röhm was surprised in a hotel in Bad Weissee, with two other senior SA officers, when they were in bed with their boyfriends. They wre arrested and send to Stadelsheim prison. Röhm was offered the traditional pistol but he refused to accept it. Röhm was shot in his cell, protesting his loyalty to the last.
