Not exceptional, but it does a good job of taking what made the book good and putting it onscreen, and also with imbuing it with a bit of life of its own. The movie loses some of its punch and weirdness with the mostly chronological storytelling (the book was a bit Slaughterhouse Five-y in that regard-- jumping hither and yon), though. Kirsten Dunst is virtually unrecognizable; I saw it twice before I realized who she was, in the film.
Wow. Okay; as you can imagine, most of the photos I'd seen of Goebbels were of him with that "I NEVER EXPERIENCE JOY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE UNPROFESSIONAL" expression. I think I would have been an awful Nazi, by the way, at least outside of taking joy in dressing snappily.
The thing with the Goebbels children is one of those things that I can't think about without becoming at least a little upset.

I like to poke fun at Nick Nolte every now and then, but he is an impressive actor; I also can't resist watching John Goodman (I'll love him forever for Roseanne and his work with the Cohen brothers). I have far too many films and books to get to, but I'll gladly add Moth Night to the list.
The fact that he had such influence over film is still a bit of a shock to me, as I have time thinking of any of them enjoying anything, let alone having an eye for art. Apparently he was considered to be on the 'left' side of the Nazi party because he admired the Russians and some aspects of Communism.
The death of the Goebbels children is extremely unnerving, and I'm sure I've said it before, but going through those magazines and seeing all these children and young people bothers me because they were being indoctrinated and enlisted to support and fight for a future that never happened. By the end, they were dead or damaged.
Call me naive, but I had no idea that Triumph of the Will was available on DVD until just now looking it up. And the poster is available on moviegoods.com, with suggestions that I might be interested in posters for the Ilsa films and Profondo Rosso.
