    Yes I've been watching it in Stralsund last saturday. It was the only movie I've seen in cinema where the people didn't get up after the last scene and quickly left the cinema. It was so quiet that you could have thought you're somewhere on a cemetary. Great movie. No doubt that I'd rate it as one of the best German movies of the last 25 years. The same category like Das Boot. Of course there are some other wonderful German movies like Metropolis, or Nosferatu, but that's quite another category. smile_o.gif

    Albert, my school in NRW looks like shit! And I sometimes think it has some advantages to live in the east, because almost everything is made new there. New bars, museums, malls, cinemas,... You name it. In the west on the other hand, there is no space for new things in the cities! I wouldn't mind to go to Rostock university, because it's a beutiful city and you can easily find a cheap appartement in the suburbs.

    You're right! but after all, I thinkit's not right to say we should have left them alone not caring for their issues after the reunion. Many mistakes were done and the money was put into the wrong things sometimes, but it was desperately needed.

    A state can not create jobs. A state can prepare the environment for companies

    That's what I meant, thank you. smile_o.gif

    BTW I've been in the East the last few days and think that the money the west is pumping into the east was wort it! The cities look much better than they did a few years ago. Too bad I couldn't stay there till today to see how many protesters there really are on the streets.

    Quote[/b] ]All that 'the polish find enough jobs here' crap is utter bullshit. Notice how they don't have to live here, but just work here for a short time: most are seasonal workers in agriculture or in construction - the latter are there because german construction companies subcontract the actual work out to cheaper polish companies. The latter leading to the ruin of german companies and more people on the dole. Now you could say that this is just because german workers are too expensive: well, thanks to the secondary costs (health insurance, pensions, etc) they are. Do you want the state to pay for that so they can compete?

    The polish worker returns home after some time and there the money's much more worth (in what you get for the same sum) than in Germany. Costs of living are much lower there and thus it's good money for hard work. Here it's less than you get on the dole and not enough to feed your family anyways.

    That exactly is the point! Work has to be worthy doing it! Germans would go to the fields and work there if they could feed their families with the money they earn. The state must create such jobs to reduce unemployment!

    Somebody could also do a movie about last paranoid years of Stalin and the power struggle after his death.

    I've been watching a film about Stalin in the last days of his reign called something like "The Red Monarch" in school last year and it was pretty good because it was also very funny and showed how ridiculous this cult around Stalin was!

    Are you from Russia?  smile_o.gif

    Actually I'm 50% German and from Khazakhstan, but half of my family is Russian and they're still living in Russia.

    The last things I remember from Russian TV were reports about a murdered journalist and people getting crushed by tanks during a demonstration. crazy_o.gif

    Of course this changed now, but from all I know there is basicaly the same stuff going on as 10 years ago. Crime is very strong, media are controlled by the state, and the population is freezing to death in winters in remote parts of Russia because the government can't ensure to keep the citie's gas supplies running. Former KGB officers are running the country. So basically the same people are in power as 10 years ago, ex-commies without any expierience in western democracy (not American democracy with only two parties, but a really pluralistic democracy like in Europe).

    I might be too far away to have a more balanced view on the current situation in Russia and how the country has changed since I left it, but don't tell me the people are really happy there! wink_o.gif
