Honestly, I think it's still reasonable and even somewhat surprisingly grounded for Americans to not assume that American films are being shown everywhere else or are even the centre of attention. I honestly find it nice, because if one is American and is quite older of course, one would really have to be so far up one's own filmculture's arse to think that their films are just being shown everywhere in the world!

I mean, to be fair, before 1990 Eastern Germany didn't have any access to US television or movies.

[@snakelemon]

@@ledasdaughter_ Yes they did. I'm saying that as the child of an entire family that grew up in the GDR. They were definitely receiving Western TV on their set. Some cinemas in the East even played US films. My mum's favourite film is Dirty Dancing which she watched in a cinema IN the GDR. She'd also religiously watch Dallas on the TV IN THE GDR. So claiming they had no access is just plainly wrong.

he did it as close as I think you could expect an American to, unless he literally spent an hour practicing it. I've heard much worse.

[@patrickhanft]

@@lyannawinter405 do you know the Arnold Schwarzenegger State Farm commercial? I would not say that ALL native German speakers would have such a difficulty to hear the differences of the pronunciation between what Arnold says and all the people around correcting him, but it IS difficult for MOST of us. Similarly to that, Sandra Hüller would know that it really IS difficult for many native English speakers to nail the pronunciation of Umlauts in German and so her name, and even to hear these differences. So, while Jimmy certainly did not pronounce her name perfectly, I think it really is fine for a native English speaker and in this case not really offensive. Being aware of it and making an effort is what counts more than perfection, which he certainly would not be able to achieve. The David Hasselhoff comments were far more disrespectful in my opinion.

[@musicofnote1]

For an American, her name is difficult to pronounce. while I've got the ü down now after living in Switzerland since 1977, the "r" at the end is maybe easy to do in NY, Philly or Boston, otherwise, Americans will mispronounce it by enunciating it.

[@Altonahh10]

Hüller's style is difficult to describe. She gives her characters a naturalness that can perhaps be described as realistic, even if the material doesn't necessarily have to be. I was already fascinated by her in Toni Erdmann, and now she has arrived where she needs to be, on Mount Olympus. Anatomy... is also a wonderful movie whose 2.5 hours pass more quickly than you might fear. And in the end, it's a work that will stay with you for a long time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all the Oscars this movie deserves.

[@Las-yv5id]

For anyone that enjoyed this movie mostly for Hüller’s acting, I beg you to watch her in Toni Erdmann (which she mentions in this interview). One of the great leading lady performances of the last several years.

[@luciustitius]

In Bochum, where Mrs. Hüller performs at the theater, as in the entire Ruhr area, people greatly value their direct and brutally honest attitude. This originates from the time when the region primarily relied on coal mining, and the proletarian pride of the miners has been preserved. In other parts of Germany, the theater audience is nicer.

[@_fabian_3486]

But not in Berlin….. in the last few years it became also kind of normal to leave in the middle of a play…..really sad.

[@seliador]

I haven't gone to the Schauspielhaus Bochum in years. When I look at the press fotographies and the descriptions don't seem fun to watch. I hope it gets better again, but I've got the feeling there's another reason than the brutal honesty of the Ruhrgebiet for those people leaving the theatre early. I can't remember them leaving early like 10 years ago. If people left, they would do so during the break.

​@@mariamustermann6527Arbeitest du selber dort? Interesting question. Last play I saw at Schauspielhaus Bochum had the audience divided but I saw noone leave. In some Theatres people often leave during breaks. Been ages since I saw someone leave during plays. Probably depends on the type of audience, as was said already. Asking myself what happens more often. Would almost say people leaving during breaks, with the other option being more noticeable though. I tend to stay till the end, too, no matter how much I dislike the play. I find leaving during plays a bit disrespectful as you're basically distracting everyone, and there are always people enjoying certain creative decisions.

Jimmy, I'm usually a fan, but these questions are a farce! Hüller is calm and intelligent enough to handle it, because American viewers don't know her yet and any honest response to those ridiculous questions would've ended in her getting labelled a humorless diva or sth. FYI: Hüller gave a considerably better performance than Emma Stone, just like Isabelle Hupert gave a far better performance than Emma Stone in 2017. But Stone is gonna get it anyway, because the Academy is a very exclusive club presenting each-other with golden status. Anyway, keep up the amazing work, Sandra! You're remarkable!

[@lovez2eat]

Why the need to put others down? Hüller is an extraordinary actress, and yet Emma Stone was absolutely phenomenal in Poor Things. You might favour Hüller but that's ultimately a subjective choice at this level IMHO

[@NiVi192]

@@lovez2eat It's not about putting others down, especially since I watched Poor Things and was very impressed. I don't know if Emma was truly "extraordinary", but I know some like to call it that whenever somebody plays a mentally challenged human being, let alone in combination with nudity and "foreign" accents. Regardless, it's not about that either. My criticism was clearly directed at the Academy's voting policy! It's an exclusive elite club of millionaires presenting each-other with shiny statues, that doesn't often recognize true, raw talent outside that club (such as Sandra or Lily, who, IMHO, both delivered considerably stronger performances). I'm not saying Emma Stone's second Oscar wasn't deserved, because that would be unfair, but it was a more obvious choice and a more hip popularity vote.

I thought JK would have prepared to pronounce Ms. Hüller's last name right with the umlaut, given his own last name derives from German immigrants who were called "Kümmel" (caraway in German).

Great actress, she deserves this year Oscar award the most

[@jchenning4820]

Great performance! Great actress!

[@raycarr1389]

Sandra my latest film actress crush. Hopefully Hollywood will take notice of how beautiful and talented you are and offer you some great roles. You totally deserved the Oscar this his year.

[@MarkEleve]

I love her so much!! ❤️

[@gabrielacoll1647]

Great actor! She's very natural and powerful! Bravo!!!

[@Susitravels]

What a beautiful and talented woman. Hope she wins.

[@Aleksandra1976]

Everyone's talking about Gladstone winning it, but this lady certainly deserved an Oscar this year. I root for Sandra

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

agree, thay all speak about gladstone for political reasons

[@AngelofMusic04]

​@@melisagalvalizi6982Some do. Most speak of her work because it's one of the all time great performances in a Scorsese film.

[@FabledGentleman]

@@melisagalvalizi6982 Ehh no. I have seen "Killers of the flower moon" three times, and if there is one thing that is for damn sure, is that Gladstone is wholeheartedly deserving of the Oscar nomination, even winning it. But i personally think that Stone and Hüller were slightly better. But i have no problem with Gladstone winning it, not at all.

@@FabledGentleman she just lays in bed for 90% of the movie, I don't get it!!!

[@FabledGentleman]

@@joseguarin115 So did Hillary Swank in "Million Dollar Baby", and she deserved the Oscar win, without question 😊

[@RichMangicaro]

BEST performance we've seen all year. Incredible.

"Denver Clan" was what they called Dynasty in Germany FYI ;)

You mean holding your thumbs? :)

[@lilianaprina5991]

Sandra you are a great actress with so much potential. I love the argument you have with your husband about choices and for him not to play a victim. Truly fabulous with good writing, it seems to act better one should have good writing.

[@danweirich8573]

She is very different from the others actresses in Hollywood, greeting from Germany ❤

[@TheCNPunk]

I really became goosebumps thinking about she could win the oscar this year beside such a strong competition with foremost Emma Stone in Poor Things and Lily Gladstone in Killers Of The Flower Moon. Sandra Hüller is one of the best actresses in german film history and for her becoming the oscar would be phenomenal. At last years "Lola" - the german "Oscar" the host Jasmin Shakeri told something like this in her opening - If Sandra Hüller just walking through a scene in the background you want to replay this over and over again to analyse what her shoulder alone wants to tell you ! With knowing this fact you know how good she is and how professional she is as an actress.

Ich glaube nicht, dass du "really" Gänsehaut geworden bist 😅

[@sunflowermyeyes9758]

Sandra, wir sind stolz auf dich 🎉❤ she is beautiful, very sincere and very talented! We know you hate this but so cool to see you doing all the Hollywood things ❤ no one deserves it more 🎉

[@claudialorenz2625]

She is amazing and I am so proud that she was born in the green heart of Germany like I was :-) Hopefully she wins the Oscar!!!
