Resemblance over the years


      I think I said already that I'm passionate about the life of "flying aces" the greatest fighter pilots, especially of those in the World War II.
     One of them is Hauptmann Hans-Joachim Marseille (in the left picture). Was a famous fighter pilot from Germany in the World War II (also a handsome man with a bohemian life) who scored "official" 158 victories against the British Commonwealth's Desert Air Force over North Africa.
     But Marseille is not necessarily the subject of this post as is the amazing resemblance with a contemporary actor... Joaquin Phoenix (in the right picture).


     I wonder if Joaquin would suit the role of "flying ace" Joachim in this German movie, made half a century ago, from which is the following scene.
