Lída Baarová

The story it is telling is really interesting. You may want to know how and why a woman fell for someone the general public does view as a monster now but wasn't really seeing as a sex symbol either back then. One of the main flaws I already mentioned is the fact that everyone is talking Czech, even the Germans/Nazis, which doesn't really make much sense. Especially because when they film movies from time to time the same characters speak German. Even our main character has to learn German for her career ... so the Czech part of it all, is to make it work for home/origina country this is from.

But that's not all of course. Looking back on those things, we do realize that a few things seem out of order. The chemistry is not the best between the actors and you might get bored from time to time. So while overall an interesting topic, this cannot convey and convince as it should be able to

A young actress from Czechoslovakia falls in love with Joseph Goebbles and becomes famous in Nazi Germany. Her career and relationship start well but end terrible. The movie portrayed a different and fresh angle on the time period; i.e. it did not center on the struggle of the Jews.

Like others here I don't understand the low reviews. The movie is subtitled, and sometimes people rate lower for that. I thought it was well paced and acted. I like WWII films; this is a good one.

This film gives us a idea about Hitler's "gang of propaganda". This movie can consider a good historiy based content where we can see the key players visions about their life and other life's. A movie about fake love, greed, stardom, misusing of power and fall down. A good movie for all history lovers.

First of all, I just can't understand the 5.8 star rating of this movie. In my opinion it should be considerably more. The movie is very intriguing & captivating. You can't finish it until you see what happens next, and then after that. In my opinion - the movie kind of has everything. The movie is a deep depiction of how life and human relationships are not always so black and white. They can take very unexpected turns in many ways and lead you to very unexpected situations. It tells about achieving a huge success and it tells about losing practically everything. It tells about how situations can change very quickly & unexpectedly, one way or another. And not least importantly, it paints once again a very truthful picture of the unspeakable, horrendous, murderous hatred of the Nazis towards Jews - something we must never forget about.
