The straight 22 bond strips want to see many spectators again and again. Large Blockbusterfilme is again and again gladly seen. Thus it is similar as with the children, who want to always hear the same good eight-history. Many spectators rather regard the consequence of a well-known and popular series, they try a new out.

British films in Venice

The film festivals from Venice were opened yesterday with the filming of the best-seller “apology” by Ian McEwan. Marcus Berkmann is astonished that “a certain kind from British films to important corner points in the culture calendar (and therefore in the PR) it became. Such a film plays in all probability in the past, where there are still leftovers of the English land life… Alternatively such a film can play also abroad, preferentially somewhere, where it is weld-rubbing terriblly hot and… In more modern films all absolutely live in the north of London, in houses, which are much larger, than one could afford them in reality… Should it worry us that these films do not have any purchase to the life, which one lives today in Great Britain? Probably not. Over this whole stuff nobody wants to see a film, even if that is differently maintained. Finally it is not coincidence that the remainder of the world sees us still as courageously, stoisch and easily suppressed, although the opposite is obvious.”

If films are too long in the cinema

Also an industrious Kinogänger as I, misses already times a film. That is bitter, but a typical Grossstädter problem. If a new cash hit achieves the local light plays, I think frequently:
“Well, I wait rather still two weeks, then the cinema is no longer full so. I live in the large city and the film run still eternally.”
If I remember then after months again, are the two weeks naturally long past. And to the strips it into my public library created (one week check-out counter 1, - €, instead of 3,80 € per day in the Videothek), flows still another quantity water the Düssel down.

Fortunately there is however a side in the net, which versüsst me the waiting period.
Not only that a quantity of classical authors is offered there.
Also new films, which do not miss to a certain hypes, are shown there. The only crack point: The English original versions are shown.
Naja, “English” tunes, “version” also, but “original” is excessively high-stacked.
