Not as good as I was hoping it would be...Bonhoeffer was one of my "heroes" and somehow they bungled this up..,,
It played a lot on HBO when it first came out. I liked it so much I bought the VHS, which I still have. Quirky and very sentimental at the same time. Soundtrack is killer, too!Trailer from "Local Hero" 1983. A quirky gem...I think.
Mark Knopfler's soundtrack a major plus
Think about how oppressed and what unfairness the people must have felt at that time to lionize outlaw bank robbers. I believe we're heading back down the same road to those bad times, if we're not there already with Luigi.20K people attended Bonnie Parker's funeral and 15K for Clyde Barrow....

Related to that, you might enjoy Henry V. It's Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of the Shakespeare play. The Elizabethan English takes a few minutes to get used to, but it's a great movie and the actors do a wonderful job of understanding the lines they're speaking. Makes the language a lot easier to follow.Watched The King on Netflix. About the last days of Henry IV and V's taking the throne amidst a bucket of troubles. Very well done.
