Hi,
I am reading interesting material around here but no one related to a simple question which might come even from the most unknown journalist:
Why people should go to see your movie?
It's plain. It's simple. It's scary... Well, I can only say why I personally want to see this movie, beyond the genre, the CGA effects, the fun...
We are living times during which any ideology has been destroyed for economic reason. It's very easy to control people which don't believe in anything.
It's very easy to sell them everything... Anything to make them feel less "empty", but always consumers.
Also the raising (i can speak only for my country, Italy) of movements which claims that the Nazis never existed and Auschwitz and the Holocaust never happened.
They are not wearing black suits. Not all of are blond-haired with blue eyes. They have a normal job and normal life...
And they got even the attention of media and newspaper.
Only the intervention of the leader of the Italian Jewish community remembered to the Italians what the WW2 meaned for millions of Italian jewish.
But there is always fear and embarassement in speaking about this matter... It's gone. And that's all.
"Iron Sky" is a Sci-Fi comedy, like Ira Levin's "The boys from Brazil" was a Sci-Fi thriller...
It is entertainment, but it's a kind of entertainment which helps to stay awake.

Well, she certainly knows that the "Space Nazis theme" is not new for the Sci-Fi literature...
Robert E. Hainlein wrote short stories based on this concept even during the last days of WW 2, and this is revealing about how she knows very well the Sci-Fi literature.
But I can't remember any movie based directly on this sub-genre.
This is another reason why I think the concept behind this movie is great...
And this production is entirely europen, and independent too...
Which is great!

That is the most interesting question of all.
I have not seen the manuscript for this film, but I believe, that the writer Johanna Sinisalo has had again something special to say, when she wrote the story with the guys of Energia production.
About the writer:

And I guess it is, as you said: "...entertainment, but it's a kind of entertainment which helps to stay awake."
