@@jimmyscutts8082 I agree. They're never the same in US films, they always seem muted speaking in another language (not necessarily in this clip shown but generally) and are relegated to being killed off in the first 30 mins of Mission Impossible 15. BUT If there was a film about Buster Keaton, then Volker Bruch should play him. In the first episode of "Babylon Berlin" he dances in a bar and shows great skill at physical movement/comedy and actually looks like Keaton as well.
So, I realize that the subject matter of this scene is very serious and thought provoking. Further, the scene has great acting all around... but, I hate to say this... but dam is that Bruch guy a total hottie. Yes, I am a simpleton.
I don't think anyone realised exactly what Hitler had in mind when he came to power until it was too late. Also the rest of Europe and the world wanted to avoid another vicious war with Germany at all costs because of the devastating aftermath of WWI. Unfortunately everybody reacted when it was way too late and war was inevitable. Hitler and the Nazis took full advantage of and exploited that reluctance to make their plans and execute them and that was when Britain and France declared war but they should have done it a lot sooner their inaction gave the Nazis the upper hand.
The psychological levers of persuasion, as described by Robert Cialdini in "Influence and Manipulation" : authority first of all, which makes people comply with orders coming from a figure of power ; then engagement, which derives from by the feeling of belonging (with an ideology) ; social proof, which makes people emulate behaviors they observe from others ; rarity, a leverage that rests on the fear of missing out on good opportunities (standing and privileges in the context of nazi Germany) and finally there's coherence, which tells us that we tend to act in the present coherently with our past actions.
In fact the architect of the Holocaust Reinhard Heydrich himself didn't imagine the extermination of the jews until late 1941 the Wansee conference he preferred forced migration which he applied until late 1941 but due to the war efforts + Britain didn't fall under bombing so they couldn't apply Madagascar plan
The professor is Bruno Ganz. The actor who portrayed Hitler last days in the bunker in the movie called Der Untergang (The downfall) . Another amazing movie. RIP Bruno G. An amazing German actor.
@@snazzym7740and Ralph Fiennes played Amon Goeth, an concentration camp commander, in Schindler's List. I don't think actors should be typecasted but if you played certsin roles and you are famous for them there are some roles they shouldn't play because it is weird.
not sure if it was intentional, but it was a brilliant move, on the director's part, to not cut away from michael's face, as the kid shouts, "what IS there to understand?" and, his voice echoes/bounces off the walls. great move. cinematically, i mean.
He's spot on though. Is there anything he said that was incorrect? The guilt of the Holocaust rests on those who orchestrated the atrocities, those who carried them out as well as those who did absolutely nothing. The guilt was everyone's to bear.
When you admit it’s a part of human nature and in all of us and will become real under certain circumstances, when the time is ripe and the environment is fertile, then you’ll find some peace and realize that all discussion of the entire issue is moot.
[Question from a Non-English & Non-German foreigner] In 'Babylon Berlin', Munich-born Volker Bruch plays a police detective from Cologne. So did Bruch put any effort for a Cologne accent - as much as Bruno Ganz (RIP) did for the legendary Hitler role? Do other German actors put efforts that much on the accents, too?
Well, I can't remember him speaking with a cologne dialect because for one it is hard to speak it when you haven't grown up there and for others in German films you speak standard German, so that all people understand properly and not only from this area where it is spoken. Although sometimes Berlin accents are likely to be spoken in movies as well as the Bavarian ones if a character comes from there, but more not, because as I said, people have to understand.
Volker Bruch speaks a little bit cologne dialect sometimes but not very often. As well as Liv Lisa Fries has a east german tonation or speaks berlin dialect, and the northern German actress (forgot her name) spoke some northern German dialect. Basic Cologne dialect isnt so hard to learn for Germans, so probably it wasnt a problem for Volker.
The movie is amazing but this scene is really unnecessary .. The scene in the court already show how people criticise the nazi ... My favourite scene is the one in the campus .. After the kid knows Hannah is a nazi, he visits the campus, stay and find ways to forgive the considerate lady he loves and misses everyday.
+Rita law (sorry quite late but still) it is probably due to the fact that the movie was based on the book and while the movie is more about the relationship between the two main characters, the books is sort of more about what was it like to the generations of these young people who had to deal with the fact that their parents participated in war, somehow and to ask questions like volker´s character "how could they let it happen and how can they continue to live with their guilt, now?" it is quite interesting
+Valerie Bee just see your message after a year. Thanks for your additional information. What I mean is the thought of these young people may play an important role in the book and it is interesting for the audiences to further discuss, but in the movie, the main focus is on the relationship between Hana and the kid. Then suddenly, these young people who I never find them important just appear and express some ideas which are already well delivered in other incredible scenes.. That's why I said it was unnecessary.. But if you find it good, it's completely fine..
I am literally so confused about Hanna couldn't even write or read then why she didn't tell the judge that she didn't write the letter and Michael could've said that too why no one said anything
i found my answer - - - apparently, she commits suicide. but, i guess, understanding how to read and write was a key factor in the story, because it imparts knowledge, understanding, enlightenment, etc. i still found it difficult to sympathize with Hanna, though. it doesn't SPECIFY if this is the Nuremberg trials or not, but there were some S.S. who were "pardoned", some who were sentenced to life in prison, and others who were sentenced to prison, but how long depended on the severity of their crimes.
Because he felt guilty or uncomfortable with the idea that he might know someone who is close to him who might have been involved one way or another with Nazis. This whole scene shows denial and/or coming to terms with the heinous crimes. That’s why the kid walked out.
is the kid who is speaking Jewish? honestly, i couldn't get through the sex scenes with Michael and Hanna. So, I just zipped ahead to this scene. It was the only one worth watching, in my opinion. i think the other student left because he got triggered... i mean, was he Jewish too? (or are NONE of them Jewish?) it's BEYOND DIFFICULT to watch... especially by yourself (which i was doing). the kid who was speaking has a point... but it's even MORE WEIRD to consider NOT killing them...{is that what the other students were considering?} this whole scene/this whole MOVIE is, like, outta my comfort zone. i honestly thought this was a fictional account of the Nuremburg trials... i never understood, why, in the end, they don't all just HANG the guards... {like, WHY, should we care? why should we GIVE A DAMN about Hanna?}
Guess you missed the entire point of the movie then, which was to showcase a generation grappling with their feelings of love towards predecessors who were to varying extents complicit in one of the worst atrocities ever committed by human beings. I, for one, found Hannah's embarrasment over her illeteracy (to the point that she's willing to take the fall for a crime she did not carry out alone) very telling of of the mindset that made those horrendous acts possible. The question you should be asking yourself is what would murdering her and the rest of the guards have achieved? Other than satisfying your bloodlust and petty need for revenge as it certainly wouldn't have brought back the women who died in that fire
They are playing germans. Of course there is an accent, it adds to the realism imo. The only reason they shot the film in english, was that it is much more easy for the german actors to do it in english than it would be for Kate Winslet and Raloh Fiennes to do it in german. They probably did the voice over for the german dub themselves as well, so that it wouldn't be weird for german viewers to hear actors they know speak with a differrent voice.
It's kinda strange seeing all these German actors speaking English to each other.
Back in 2008 I guess they thought the movie wouldn’t work in German plus they had Kate Winslet play lead, not sure she could have spoken English
@@dbo514 You mean German?
@@sarahvanderwolf obviously
not that strange, many Germans understand and speak English, much more than the French or Italians by contrast

Volker Bruch is a brilliant actor. “Generations” was amazing. If only he’d get cast by Hollywood. He should be a big star here.
I totally agree. Top notch acting. But he’s only famous in Europe/Germany sadly.

You did not play irony. xD
Maybe one day there will be a film he could play Hitler in 🤔

@Eragon2679There's also commercial considerations. A film made in English will have a much wider market.
