The Danny Bunch x Fistfights:

Daniel's characters often get beaten up but they don't typically instigate fistfights. If they do fight back, it's with wits. Should they choose violence, their weapon of choice is usually a gun.

If a brawl were to break out, however, Erik, Zemo, Checo, Laszlo, and Niki would probably have caused it with something they said or did, deliberately or otherwise. In my mind they're not necessarily a part of the scuffle, they're just pot stirrers. Arranged the likelihood of someone having diabolical intent from left to right. It peters out by the time it gets to Laszlo and Niki, as they mostly trigger conflict with the unfiltered truths they speak. While many of Daniel's characters would probably lose in a fistfight, I see Alex, Arbo, Tony, and Andrea going down after a single punch. Why these babies would be in a physical altercation, however, is beyond me. David from Lila, Lila was originally on this list but then I remembered he did beat up his tormentor in a mad rage. I was also tempted to add dorky ol' Marek but then he looks way too fit to be knocked out so easily. Marko would obviously win in a punching match. I'm willing to bet Horstmayer would, too. Ernst slugged someone in The Cloverfield Paradox (threw the first blow and all) but that was after this person directed multiple accusations at him. He has a temper but I don't think he readily resorts to violence. There is this feral quality to him though, so if he is in one, I see him winning. Zemo could take on a horde of non-enhanced fighters any day. Daniel (Weltz), Tobias, and Sebastian I see running away from shit they probably stirred, the scumbags. Zemo chooses his battles. He's a skilled fighter but against, say, the Avengers or the Dora Milaje, he knows he's better off ditching the scene or pitting them against each other. Lutz, Klaus, and Frederick go apeshit when cornered or scorned. They go from nasty to full-on Nazi. To Zemo, bombs are an acceptable means to an end—a literal tool in the arsenal. Should anything stand in the way of his mission, he will make them go BOOM.

*** p.s. if it isn't obvious already, Zemo appears four times because he changes tactics depending on the situation.

p.p.s. not sure who to credit for this concept since it's all over the internet but this alignment chart is adapted from THIS POST. I also do not know who coined the term "The Danny Bunch" but I've seen it in some posts. Tumblr's search system is no help, so I'm just borrowing it here.

Pairing: Marko Stemper/Gerd Hermsbach

Fandom: Elefantenherz (2002) (marko is played by daniel brühl this should be no surprise)

Summary: Marko Stemper desperately wants to get out of his shitty life, and aspires to be a professional boxer. A local crime boss, Gerd Hermsbach, offers him the chance to get out, but there might be more to this than Marko could ever expect.

Excerpt:

“You can live here while you train,” Gerd says, unlocking the door. “I’ll pay for everything you need.” Marko follows him into a clean, quiet apartment. It’s so much nicer than his family’s, empty of furniture but also empty of the poison of his father. It’s a lot. Gerd catches his nerves. “I know you’ll make it back,” he says, stepping close to Marko and resting a hand on his back. “I expect you to make my investment in you back.” Marko swallows and nods. Gerd’s hand slides down his back before lifting away, so light Marko almost wonders if he’d imagined it. “I’ll work hard,” Marko promises. “Anything.” “Anything,” Gerd muses, walking slowly around the apartment. He turns slightly and raises an eyebrow at Marko. There’s something in his look Marko doesn’t understand, but makes his face want to heat all the same.

Elefantenherz English subtitles

See Daniel Brühl as a cute boxer in the picture above? Anyone interested in watching his movie Elefantenherz (English: Elephant Heart) can now watch it on YouTube with the unofficial English subtitles I’ve created and uploaded to my dropbox. To add the subtitles to the YouTube video, you will need the Google Chrome/Firefox extension called Substital. 

Dropbox link to the subtitles 

YouTube link to the movie 

If you need any help setting up the extension, you can check the guide under the read more of this post or ask me in a private message - I’ll walk you through the steps <3

The subtitles may be hard to see if you use Substital’s default settings because of the video’s bottom white bar, but you can adjust them to make the subtitles background opaque. It might also be a good idea to make sure that you have YouTube’s German subtitles turned off (click the CC button to turn them off if they’re already on). 

Also note: the subtitles won’t be 100% perfect because I’m not a native German speaker, but thankfully a couple of native Germans were able to help me with any lines I struggled with. I’d appreciate any feedback that will help me improve the subtitles! 

So is the movie worth watching? It’s predictable, but I think so; at least for Daniel’s acting and rippling back muscles. You’ll also be able to say that you watched another movie Daniel thinks no one has seen outside of Germany 😉

Warnings just in case: swearing, violence, blood, but nothing too gratuitous (I would describe it as a coming-of-age movie).

Special thanks to the awesome German speakers @theartbooshlr​​ @tinaxpow​​ @bruhlpng​​ for offering to help translate, theartbooshlr once again for answering my 10 questions (ily), @toobruhlforschool​​ for double-checking the subtitles, @daniel-bruhls-hoe​​ for uploading the movie, and @scuttle-buttle​​ for being supportive <3
