  • This half-hour German film, narrated in English, covers the early career of famed German literary figure Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, including his early success with the novel, “The Sorrows of Young Werther.” The film employs reenactments and visits to the sites where Goethe lived and worked, including Frankfurt, Leipzig and Weimar. Archival illustrations are also used. Scenes from “Faust” are staged by actors, in German with no translation. Goethe’s romantic disappointments are covered as well.

    I love Goethe, found him through my studies of Rudolf Steiner. Brilliant souls indeed!

    "A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul..."
    - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

      Napoleon, Marshal Jean Lannes, Lord Byron, Beethoven, Thomas Carlyle, Zhukovsky, Schopenhauer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Hegel, Holderlin, Novalis, Humboldt, in his very late age a young Mendelssohn. It can't be understated, this guy just knew how to chill

    I wonder if Sigmund Freud's ( 1856 - 1939 ) quote that "Depression is frozen anger." was inspired by Goethe's quote "Architecture is frozen music."

    Somewhere around minute 12, the narrator says that Goethe has had his first "love affair," then points out that he did no more than exchange a few polite greetings with the girl. Interesting definition of love affair.

    I chose Spanish as my second language because German just sounds so ruff and jagged. I think it is because of those films of Hitler speaking they showed us in grade school. However i love Goethe. If i was a woman in 18th century Germany i would definitely sleep with Goethe.

    Great documentary! Wish more people appreciated Goethe. This documentary helps ease my broken heart at the defilement which has been inflicted upon modern Germany, all in the name of "progress". I fear for Germany's future. Indeed some say Germany has already been devoured and consumed by the influx of millions of anchor-babies and entitled jihads.

      because he is presented as only suitable for the elite, even the narrator here falls into that camp, it is a great shame, as the mind of a Goethe is what the world needs right now, but sadly the world of today will be unable to listen if one such as him spoke, he speaks in another language and I'm talking about beautiful Germanic, he spoke to the soul like all the greats did.
