NapolA
In the scene where the students were asked to write an essay on "Winter landscape as a background for German Kinghts sagas"
Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "Despite remembering our innocent childhood, Winter and a view of fresh snow awakens in us, humans, a feeling of obscure happiness. Maybe because of the fact that as children we used to associate snow with Christmas. And in my dreams, I used to be a knight who saves a virgin from a dragon and frees the world from evil. When we left and looked for the captives yesterday, I suddently remembered that boy who wanted to save the world from the evil.
Vogler: Enough.
Albrecht Stein: When we returned, I understood. Indeed, it is I who have become that evil. Evil that I wanted to free the world from.
Vogler: Albrecht, enough.
Albrecht Stein: Killing the captives is not acceptable. They were not armed, as Stein suggested in order to bait us.
Vogler: Stop!
Albrecht Stein: We did not shoot men but children.
Vogler: Leave at this instance!
This is a really great movie, the two main charcters are absolutely inspirational. The director captured, in those meer 2 hours, the essence of life and world of youth in that generation. I've got a quote here, i'm thinking it fits:
Maturing is when stripped of innocence, when understanding truth, when knowing the consequences of everything you do ...

The Talented Mr. Ripley
Tom Ripley: If I could just go back... if I could rub everything out... starting with myself.
Tom Ripley: Well, whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn't it, in your head. You never meet anybody that thinks they're a bad person.
Tom Ripley: Don't you just take the past and put it in a room in a basement and lock the door and never go in there? That's what I do, And then you meet someone special and all you want to do is to toss them the key and say; open up, step inside, but you can't, because it's dark, There's demons and if anybody saw how ugly it is. I keep wanted to do that, fling the door open just let light in and clean everything out.
