I’ve been busy at work the past couple weeks and at home so I haven’t had much time for posting. I’m glad you liked the movie. I thought it was a very unique telling of the story which is my favorite fairy tale. Of course, I’m glad people usually clean it up for films b/c the original has some rather gory parts, as many of the old fairy tales do.
I thought it was very clever how they had the children’s little bunks set up attached to the walls. It was sweet how she put barbed wire around the one for the German girl b/c it made her feel safer, of course she used a type that couldn’t really hurt her as she explained to the officer who turns out to be her Prince Charming. It was cute too how she was convinced that men wanted women with small feet and that once the real Prince saw her tiny feet, he would fall in love with her. I also have small feet and maybe one day they’ll help me nab my prince

I can imagine this film was very visually stunning when it was new and like Jeff said, only parts near the end were damaged and not to the point that you can’t watch it. Even with no music, I still really enjoyed it which just goes to show good truly entertaining these old films can be.
