SurvivorAlways 7 @MyLife4Me79 Aug 2, 2026 13 Minutes is very good film. I do wish my subtitles had not been about a second or two delayed because it effected the experience of the movie for sure but still a very good film about someone most people have never heard of that really tried to save the world the heart ache and loss of life that Hitler caused. I have no real complaints about this film. The acting was well done especially from the lead. The pacing was good too. There was some confusion at the end about why certain things happen but over all a good film. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 21, 2023 A decent enough telling of the true story of Georg Elser. A solid enough biopic that just seems to be playing it too safe. See more Wolfgang G @RT51462348 Aug 2, 2022 Elser – Er hätte die Welt verändert ist ein deutscher Spielfilm aus dem Jahr 2015. Christian Friedel spielt den Widerstandskämpfer Georg Elser, und dessen Attentat 1939 auf Adolf Hitler im Münchner Bürgerkeller. Der Film will eine kurze Lebensbeschreibung geben, ab den Jahr der Machtergreifung 1933 bis zu seiner Erschießung im KZ Dachau am 9. April 1945. Christian Friedel gibt ein sehr gutes Bild von Georg Elser ab. Das Drehbuch stammte von Fred Breinersdorfer und Léonie-Claire Breinersdorfer. Und Oliver Hirschbiegel (Regie) setzte die Geschichte in herrlichen Bildern um. See more Per S @RT83737705 May 4, 2021 One of the best and perhaps most genuin of many WW2 films, based on the true and amazing story of Georg Elser, one of several people who tried to assassinate Hitler with a bomb and nearly succeeded, but the only one who did it all by himself. 13 minutes is the English title and it describes the time frame he missed with in his attempt to kill Der Führer. The German orginal title is Elser, saying more about the actual film. The plot is basically a depiction of his life as a craftsman and factory worker in the time before the outbreak of the war, well balanced as a retrospective to the assassination attempt, capture and the following interrigation by the Gestapo and SS. However, the film has a weakness in an overempasized focus on Elser's complicated and secret relation to the married Elsa Härlen, this at the expence of a wider narrative about his anti war conviction and political views, along with his impression of and view on the Nazi regime and Hitler, the motives to his ultimate destined decision and the actual core of the story.
