The princess and the Warrior

Have you ever just excepted the world around you as a reality because It's all you've ever seen and have you ever wondered if all those little, seemingly insignifigant experiences in everyday life will ever add up to something? Sissi (Franka Potente) A nurse at a mental hospital Just seems to take life oneday at a time, not ever wondering if things could be differant somewhere else. But life has a way of waking us up sometimes and Sissi has no idea what is about to "hit" her. Bodo (Benno Furmann) a petty theif, belives that once one makes poor choices, one looses the possibility of redemption forever. In the seconds that it takes for an accident to occur, a life is saved, a souls redemption begins. Finally these complete strangers, one racked with indifferance, the other tortured by past deeds unchangeble, find themselves peering into a destiny that neither of them thought was possible. But the train wreck aint over yet. Bank robbers, Crazy psychiatric patients, and haunted pasts await these seeminly ordinary, everyday people you could run into on the street. Definately a 10! I am adding Tom Tykwer, director and writer of this film to my killer directors list. If you like this movie, you will love Run Lola Run, also starring Franka Potente and written a directed by Tom Tykwer as well. Franka Potente is also in another favorite of mine called Anatomy...these are all German Films with english subtitles. Who doesn't love a sweet Foriegn Flick eh...?
