In the last year '''George Clooney''' has both won an Oscar, and been voted the Sexiest Man alive. Only he can tell you which one is better, but whatever the case he's enjoying life more than ever and sat down in New York City recently to talk about his latest film - the post-WW2 Berlin set black-and-white thriller "''The Good German''" which he shot with good friend Director Steven Soderbergh.

Clooney: I really love the idea of changing the point of view - literally changing the lens - cause I thought the minute you started seeing the narrative change, you were like 'Oh, this is really quite a way of telling a story.' I was really excited by the idea of it. Also because in general, a 40s film like this is told by the male in it, and it really throws you because you think it's about [SPOILERS! Swipe to read] Tobey Maguire and then... it ain't. I remember the first time I saw Alien, when I went to the movie theatre in 1979, and you thought Tom Skerritt was going to be the star, because there's always been the guy sort of surviving, and he was the handsome guy. And he bites it first and all of a sudden, you realize it's Sigourney Weaver, and you're really taken by the idea that point of view gets shifted a little bit, and I think that that's really interesting storytelling.

Clooney: How to screw up an occupation? [laughs] But I don't know if there's a comparison between now and the idea of sort of forgiving war crimes because that's not really what we're doing particularly right now in Iraq. That's the one thing we're clearly not doing. Given the de-Baathification we certainly didn't forget any war crimes of any kind. I don't know [The Good German is] overtly political. It's certainly set inside an absolutely real event. There's a great documentaries about not just the Camp Dora stuff, but how the German soldiers were desperately trying to surrender to the Americans for the two-car garage rather than the Russians where it wasn't going to be nearly as nice. So I love that world but you know, it's still at it's heart and soul, it's a romance murder-mystery, Chinatown, nobody wins, nobody's good movie set inside a real world. So there are political underpinnings, but I don't think they're necessarily relevant to what's going on politically here right now.
