Heimat - Eine Chronik in elf Teilen (1984)
Fernweh/Heimweh
I spent a year as an exchange student in the Hunrueck area of Germany (where the series opens). I both laughed and cried as I heard the accents and idioms that were used. They have not changed since the early 1900's until my residency there. The outside scenery shots took me back as well. The outside scenes to be back to the Germany that I remember with "Fernweh/Heimweh. I would like to point out one error in the englich subtitles. They make reference to a bucket of "berries" while the spoken word in the audio uses to local idiom "Krombeeren", a.k.a. potatoes. A great series. I am glad that winter is coming so that there will be plenty of nighttime hours to see Heimet 2. Gruess Gott!
Taxi to the Dark Side (2007)
I have not yet seen this film
While I have not yet seen this movie, I will at my first opportunity. All of the negative comments are noteworthy. Insomuch as they not only show love of country, but at best suspicion and at worst hatred of our European allies. They might be reminded to read about the French resistance during WW2. What is needed in this struggle against terrorism is a united front, not a "my way or the highway" mentality. It is a cowboy attitude, such as is espoused here from time to time, that caused the fall of our last great nemesis, the Eastern Block and soviet Russia. Thank you for this opportunity to post on IMDb. Thank you to ALL who posted their comments, both pro and con regarding this new documentary.
