1864 (2014)
An insult to the fallen and to Denmark.
As a Dane who grew up right next to the battlefield of 1864 and who's grandparents has suffered the consequences of the defeat and the lost territory I find this series an insult. To the thousands of Danish and Grerman soldiers lost their lives and to the Danes who were forced to live under German rule until 1910.
In addition the storyline is naive and confusing with irrelevant side stories, the characters are caricatures and the dialogue unreal - no Dane would talk like this. The ridicules references to All Quiet on the Western Front, Platoon and Pearl Harbour deserves no further comment. And don't even get me started on the mysticism they, God knows, how managed to include in the storyline.
The series is one of the most expensive in Danish TV. Ole Bornedal should be ashamed of himself! I want my 8 hours back!

Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz
What is the worst thing you can say about a movie that is supposed to provoke?
God damn boring!
Being Danish and having lived in Denmark during the time the move should portrait. I can say that the characters are completely unreal and the movie dose not in any way portrait the society it is supposed to.
This movie is a complete waste of time and an embarrassment for the Danish film industry.
Don't waste you time.
