Oscars 2023: How Germany Translates History into Oscars Success

[@jaygerpe]

Sadly german cinema is broken with stupid comedies. I hope this film will rise the german cinema again.

[@Rondo2ooo]

I completely agree. It looks like the talents are there, but then again, when funding comes from the well-known supposed art supporting institutions, it seems like they decided already what to script and who (again) will be the actors and producers. Unwatchable.

[@rikkidgermano9640]

The Germans are really good at making war movies like "Das Boot", "Downfall" , "Stalingrad" and now this.

[@TTiger75]

We do not romanticise war. We want to show it how it was, especially as our grand and grand-grand parents pretty much stayed silent to us about their wartime experiences and we had to reconstruct it via historians, books, tv series and movies.

Das Boot is great, Downfall and All Quiet is not even close.

I'd guess it's a lot to do with inherited traum really. However, what about "Lola Rennt", "Bang Boom Bang", "Papa Ante Portas" (humour...), "Angst Essen Seele Auf", "Die Unendliche Geschichte", etc. pp.?? Also, I wonder how an LA test audience would have reacted to "Die Brücke", actually as early as in 1959.

[@opinionatedinsect]

The first time that I saw this film, the score got me hooked. Then, the sequences of recycled uniform got me interested into the Production Design. Strikingly beautiful. Third, as the film went on, scenes in the countrysides and wide shots of the battlefield, with the actor standing on a beautiful backdrop gave me goosebumps, the Cinematography is amazing. No wonder it won Best International Film because of the story and all its components not to mention, the brilliant acting. This is a masterpiece.

We could only wish other countries would do the same. Where can I find and watch this film from America? Also love Deutsche Welle btw!

[@CedricBassman]

Sure German takes accountability, more than they have to actually. They got dragged into WW1 because they were allies with Austria. When the War was over, they got all the blame and the entire Country was then (economically) destroyed by the Winners for no Reason. Which resulted in the poor and desperate Climate in the Country that allowed Hitler to rise up in the first place.

That Score was amazing and hauntingly draws you in at the beginning as the cinematography takes you from the quiet in the early morning forest with the mama fox with its babies in its den/foxhole, then to the frozen battlefield with the dead all laying upon it, to the trenches, to the uniforms being collected, fixed, washed and then recycled with the new soldiers/ troops replacing the dead. The way the score starts out in the beginning - loud, and by the end its softer and we/ from the POV of Paul, numbed out by the sheer horror of what war is.

[@One_and_Forsaken]

There is one movie that i encountered by accident and to my disbelief never really got the international acknowledgement it deserved. Its called Fog in Auhust ("Nebel im August") and it is an amazing, yet sad movie.

[@davidjohnston9356]

My favorite German film is mostly Martha. It has a happy ending. The life if others was very well acted and I learned a lot about East German history. And I liked the ending. Run Lola Run also was very good.

[@JackoBanon1]

What is funny is that this movie got pulled to pieces by German media and critics for being bad when it got released. The main reason was that half of the book was cut or altered and more action scenes got added to appeal to a more modern audiance.

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Half the book? More like 80% of the book. The movie should be called "Based on motives from the Novel". I watched it the night of the Oscars and I totally understand why the german critics shredded this movie. It's a complete failure as an adaptation. And I have no clue why the english and american critics didn't see that as well. Probably because they all don't know the book, whereas the majority of german critics had probably read the book as part of school curriculum.

[@bla09235454212]

@@Quotenwagnerianer indeed, i agree... not a bad film on its own, bit cliche at the end... really the end pulls it down a lot - and all the best scenes from the book were missing

[@alexaales7937]

I think it was mistake to cut the part where Paul goes back home on furlough and is disillusioned by the naivité at home the people thinking that the war is still winnable and not having any idea what the soldiers in the trenches have to endure. he realizes then that this is a place he can never go back to. I think that is a vital part in the development of the protagonist and should have been handled as such!

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

@@alexaales7937 I agree. But that was already botched in the start because they didn't include the scene with the army veterans were Paul is swayed to join. Which is then later mirrored by the scene were he tries to warn the young men at school to not join instead of giving a rousing patriotic speech and they call him a defetist and traitor for it. If you turn the book into a movie and leave that out, you should not even bother to begin filming.

[@catwoman9062]

@@alexaales7937 I could not agree more. I read the book many, many years ago, and that particular part in the book has stuck with me until today.

"Authenticity" has become the kind of impediment to filmmaking that photorealism was to painting. You always admire the technique, but it takes away from the soul of things. AQOTWF felt like film makers succumbed to the worst aspects of one-upmanship in order to try and outdo both Paths of Glory and Come and See at the same time. I think they failed. The excision of the chapter(s) about Paul's leave to visit his family is a mistake, because it deprives the character of depth. This part of the novel also illustrates the experience of what would come to be known as PTSD, when trying to cope with the banality of civilian life. The addition of the subplot about negotiations for the conditions of an armistice is problematic in the way it depicts French officers as only vindictive and arrogant. The ending of the film is a downright 180 from the novel and, in the way it subverts the novel's delivery of the message regarding the way an individual's death is rendered meaningless by such barbarism, ultimately unforgivable. Competent as a war movie, ambivalent as an anti-war movie, unsuccessful as a literary adaptation.

[@michaelneuwirth3414]

I have read the book several times and no film, with the rare exceptions you mentioned, came even close to the horror of war. They are rather quiet films, like "Johnny Got His Gun" by Dalton Trumbo, which show all the agonizing misery of war and do without any "action" at all. It is what a war leaves behind that reveals its horrors, not how it happens. One almost catches oneself admiring an actor's athletic performance more than his play revealing any secrets about the enigma of war. Ich habe das Buch mehrere Male gelesen und kein Film, bis auf die raren Ausnahmen, die du nanntest, kamen dem Schrecken des Krieges nur ansatzweise näher. Es sind eher stille Filme wie „Johnny Got His Gun“ von Dalton Trumbo, die das ganze quälende Elend eines Krieges zeigen und ganz ohne „Action“ auskommen. Das, was ein Krieg hinterlässt, offenbart seine Schrecken, nicht wie er geschieht. Man ertappt sich fast dabei, dass man mehr die sportliche Leistung eines Schauspielers bewundert, als dass sein Spiel irgendwelche Geheimnisse über das Rätsel Krieg offenbart.
