The Red Baron
This movie was good ,not great just good, I revert back to my childhood, when I loved to watch war movies and started to really enjoy this film. The dialog is a little off, a bad translation from the German, and a little awkward at watch. On the flip side of that, there are some really cool dog fight sequences and very realistic sets and costumes. This is the story of Baron Manfred von Richthofen (Matthias Schweighöfer) the First World War German flying ace.He was the most the most decorated and fear and for good reason, he shot the most pilots out of the sky and was used by the Germans as a propaganda icon to inspire the troops in the trenches to valor. This movie starts out with a very interesting scene where the red baron and his friends fly there planes over the enemy lines to drop flowers on an enemy pilots funeral.
