Customer Reviews:
The second pressing (release Oct 2002).......2003-01-13
This DVD still recives 4 stars because it may be the most personal war story I've ever seen. German and Norwegian troops are treated equally and followed closely in their struggle.
Good Movie / Bad Transfer.......2001-05-06
Before you rent or buy this on DVD (region 1) be aware that the transfer for this DVD is extremely bad and amateur.
The titles are blurry and so are the end credits. Other than that movie looks ok for about the first hour, but then at about 1 hour in (I'm assuming at a reel change) it abruptly becomes VERY NOTICABLY BLURRY (you'll want to yell at the projectionist to focus the movie) and SOUND COMPLETELY DROPS OUT (no sound at all for the rest of the movie).
After the sound drops out at about an hour, you'll just have to read subtitles in silence to figure out what is going on.
At first when the sound dropped out, I thought I had a problem with my DVD player--but it has the same problem on my OTHER DVD player (and the sound is ok before that). This is just a bad, bad, bad job of mastering/transferring this movie.
The subtitles are also part of the transfer and you cannot turn them on or off since they're part of the optical image. (You can turn the subtitles on or off or change them on most DVDs since the subtitles are stored as seperate data on most DVDs.)
Maybe they've corrected the problems with this DVD in second pressing, but I kind of doubt that enough people bought this DVD for it to ever sell enough for a second pressing.
World War II in Norway.......2000-11-11
The movie raises a few ethical questions as he wants to execute one of his own for letting out POW's. The movie is a captivating illustration of how futile the resistance in most of southern Norway was to the powerful German war-machine. I recommend this movie for anyone with an interest of World War II in Europe. This is quite a different story than those told of The war on the res of the continent.
