Was tun, wenn's brennt? (2001)
Excellent movie of a great chapter in german history
Movies about the german history are very hard to find. "Was tun wenn's brennt?" shows in an excellent way that moments of the german history worth being filmed. Seeing this movie about friends and getting out of a capitalistic system is a great pleasure because of its great acting, directing and camera work.
Director Georg Schnitzler gets cleverly around many stereotypes and shows in his deep characterization his figures as dreamers on their search for happiness. After 13 years they have to come together to reunite their former group and beware themselves of being arrested. That's the beginning of a wonderful written script. The story designs a complex world. Director Schnitzler brings this world perfectly in the reality we know.
The great team of actors presents us after a long time real characters which you can easily identify yourself with and which you really like. On their search for happiness they finally find it here in a simple formula of friendship: "Real friends help each other consoling about the nastily of the capitalism." Was tun wenn's brennt? Brennen lassen! (What to do when it's burning? Let it burn!)
10/10
Der Schuh des Manitu (2001)
The year's funniest movie
At first I was a little bit worried about a satire of Winnetou, a very good old german movie. But when I sat in cinema, I hardly could stop laughing. Director Michael Herbig succeed totally in making a good movie. At least I have to admit that the story does not play a great part, but this really does not matter. This is why "Der Shuh des Manitu" is the film with the most visitors. Even better than Harry Potter! Go and watch this great film!
Shrek (2001)
Wow!
When I thought about seeing Shrek, I thought about a little funny movie for little children. But this was completly wrong! Some expressions or scenes are something for older people, but not for six or seven year old children. However, this was the funniest movie since Scary Movie, its even better than Scary Movie or American Pie. Go and see the film, wit his great jokes about old Disney films!
