Well, next time you visit das Vaterland, be sure to come and see me, then we can have a conversation that deserves the name. ;) I didn't know -anything- about Heydrich except that he organised the Wannsee Conference and was therefore personified evil until I started reading up on him. I've started to call him "Reini" whenever I talk about him with a RL friend, simply because I don't want to get stoned in the train for talking about Heydrich without ranting about how evil he was.
I still haven't finished the book, somehow I never find the time to read more than 50 pages at once, FML. So, my opinion about the ending will have to wait. The last line, however, is in the original: "Les Bienveillantes avaient retrouvé ma trace." Literally: "The Kindly Ones (this sounds so crappy) had found my trace again."
Erm, I don't think I've read that one. Link please? :) Also, I have to disappoint you, unless this takes a very unexpected turn Heydrich won't be the bottom. Sorry, but Marseille is such an unbearable brat that Heydrich needed to teach him a lesson. Or several.
The review just compared the movie to Pearl Harbor, which I couldn't even finish watching because it was so bad. But, the pretty pictures convinced me to download it and give it a try. (also, not slashy in real life? Please, that picture is very slashy. ^^)
Hellstrom/Burger? Om nom ... I just considered Landa/Hellstrom/Burger, because I have trouble shipping Hellstrom with anyone without adding Landa to it.
