In Reply to: Hey Patrick... posted by Victor Khomenko on May 09, 2004 at 11:54:25:
The German film industry is strugling with bad economy, and even the distributor of huge success like the " Das Wunder von Bern " is bankrupt.
Lately film like the above cited ( about a football match in Swiss that Germany did win ) and " Lenin Lebt " and quite a few others did give a good impuls to the industry here.
I wrote somewhere else that for the first time in years that Germany will be present in the film festival of Cannes, and THAT is a big improvement.
All in all, a lot of new actors and actresses are doing a good job.
I am very optimistic for the next decade! Of course the main part of it will be the same
as in America, movies for the popcorn...
Follow Ups:
For instance, in "Das Boot", there was his portrait in the sub but many maligning comments were made. Can a film maker do anything directly related to him biographically?
Anything? No. The " Mein Kampf " book is still prohibited in Germany, and it looks to stay that way for the next thousand years ( as long Hitler´s dream should have last..)
But critically you can write or filme anything you want-But no glorification - Only to say " Heil Hitler " or putting your arm...the wrong way up...You get jail...I hope I did respond to your question.
Not being exposed to the mainstream of German film I've always had the impression that he was not used much as a centerpiece. Surely, Triumph of the Will or anything vaguely mimicing it is verbotten.
Actually we should not forget as there was a cradle in "Mesopotatmien" for our civiliisation, there is one for the FILM too. It was in Germany, from Lang to Murnau, they learn to the rest of the world how to make films.
You are welcome.
***Only to say " Heil Hitler " or putting your arm...the wrong way up...You get jail...I presume you mean in life, not in the movies - correct?
I don't recall any recent German movies where Hitler would be portrayed, but certainly it was very common in the East German films before the fall of the Wall. I am sure they were following different set of guidelines, of course.
Sorry if it was unclear! Of course only in...Real life.
The East act as they did not have the problem of denazification...The result is that most of the " Nazi would be " and Skinhead scene are from this region.
They had quite a few good films, the more oustanding was called " Nackt unter Wölfe "
It is the true story of a child who survived hidden in a KZ ( Buchenwald ) being helped by the inmates.
If you have the occastion try to see it!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056271/
Fat chance seeing that one, Patrick, it is not on a video.Do you remember seeng Die Abenteuer des Werner Holt? I recall being impressed by this East German war film, I also read the book. Of course that was like forty years ago?????? Hard to believe time flies THAT fast...
That one you can find on tape in Germany.
Do you know its director Joachim Kunert?
No I can not remember seing it, but curious as I am I just place an order....
Time do not exist, so why also worrying....
Tonight I am going to see " Alxandre Le Bienheureux " Have you seen it ? "
No... that one is also not available here... a "young" Noiret?Please post your observations on Holt... curious if my impressions of nearly 40 years ago still hold.
Time... you ignore it and don't realize its flow intil something like this hits you like a brick! My father-in-law is going to be 94 in June... He was old enough to remember the Revolution! No, not the French one...
A young Noiret, but with time passing I have some problem seeing him, as he is too much stilted, I don´t know if it is the right word...Maniéré is the French word.
Count on me I will. As for the Russian period and my critic I wait to be in a lighter mood as it is really affording all of my concentration ( Mirror and all ) what I can not bring up at the moment... I just need light stuff!
And it is increasily hard to watch a film as Nelly as develloped the very bad habit to bark all the way down when I start seeing some films !
Drive me crazy....
I start to read the memoir of george Sanders...The revolution....
