    the movie impressed me. it took my breath because i can imagine this to have been real. no space for warmth, no space for hope.

    OK, I have nothing to say now. Very well-testified opinion.

    Exactly the response one would expect from someone who probably has little to no knowledge of German cinema.

  13. “Plattdeutsch” in …
    “Plattdeutsch” in English means “low German”, and people did not generally speak low German in Northern Germany. For example around Hannover or Magdeburg people spoke high German.
    And by the way the dialect of Vienna sounds different, too.
    And there are still lots of differences between low German and English, believe me.

  14. Bellissimo!
    Bellissimo!

  15. The film mixes …
    The film mixes fiction and reality to an extent that it can be called an “essay” at best. The houses look northern German. The people behave like Calvinists. But they speak like people from Vienna (in Northern Germany nobody spoke high German at that time but flat German which is similar to English). this film will be forgotten soon. It simply shows people what they want to see. it works with clichees.

  16. “The White Ribbon” …
    “The White Ribbon” is a very sophisticated movie. Comparable to movies made by Ingmar Bergman or Lars von Trier. Only for intellectual “egg-heads”, thus.

    verstörende chronologie von macht!…wie macht und ohn-macht entstehen kann, welcher nährboden vonnöten ist…haneke versteht wie kaum ein anderer dieses anhand seiner akribisch genauen und doch sensationslosen darstellung in seinen filmen immer wieder zum sujet zu machen, aufzuspüren und uns daran zu erinnern:
    macht gerinnt schnell zur gewalt!…
