I'd rather continue my Das Doppelte Lottchen Liveblog on my own post so here goes :D

(movie-titlecards post - YouTube movie link for if you also want to watch it - my last liveblog about the 1961 and 2017 films - farnwedel's review of the 2017 film)

Ok first impressions, well, it's old xD not just the grainy black and white, but all the mannerisms, the speech of the characters, the old timey narrator... I can see how it's not everyone's cup of tea! But I honestly don't mind it

It seems to stick very close to the book so far, scene by scene, which while nice that they didn't completely change random shit like in the American versions, you can also tell that in the 50s there maybe wasn't as much knowledge on how to adapt a book to film? It just seems a bit stilted at times, but not too bad

just rewatched Das doppelte Lottchen (2017) and can we all agree that Mo, the best friend of Luises dad, who travels with them everywhere and basically lives with them. that that is gay

like. just a little bit

It’s always bothered me that all of the Parent Trap movies are contemporary to their own production rather than period pieces. Das Doppelte Lottchen was published in 1949, and while I’m sure that even then separating infant twins was not the norm, the whole concept of divorce was much less socially acceptable. It was the sort of thing people didn’t talk about, so there was more space for them to do objectively crazy things in response to it. Not to mention that the idea of children having minds and inner lives of their own and thus, a right to know their siblings and parents is also relatively recent. It makes much more sense that people would think this was a semi-normal thing to do if you set it in that period than in late 90s America.

Lawyer: We've already had a case like that in Germany and Austria as early as 1949. The plaintiffs, L. Körner and L. Palfy, later sued for child neglect resulting in severe emotional harm and were compensated accordingly. It was filmed and everything, you do not want to go there.

Lawyer: How would you like to handle the custody agreement?

Parent: I want my wife to take one of my infant daughters to the UK and I’ll take the other one and we will never see each other again.

Lawyer: You want to fucking what?

Einmal live dabei sein...

das denkt man sich ja immer mal wieder, wenn man Sportevents im TV sieht – vorausgesetzt, man hat eine Affinität zu diesem Sport. Der Zufall wollte es, dass ein Geburtstagsgeschenk zum runden Geburtstag meines Lieblingsmenschen Tribünenkarten für den Abfahrtslauf auf der “Streif” in Kitzbühel waren. Wir sind beide begeisterte Skifahrer, haben es im Kleinkindalter schon gelernt. Die “Streif” gilt…

Es geht alles bestaendig viel zu weit, was er da macht!

Er war dafuer nicht bekannt!

Sicherlich leiden auch italienische Schueler unter Jobbing an ihren Schulen sehr stark dann immer wieder auch? Bei uns in den 70 ern gab es das so noch nicht! Mir wurden schlicht keine angeboten!

Es faellt schlicht auf! (Nur das Ausland scheint sie selber noch in hinreichender Zahl zu besitzen diese wichtigen auch Klassikgroessen, so dass diese vor dem eigenem Publikum auch auftreten koennten, oder einheimischen Deutschen! Kein geringer Vorwurf! Das Ausland auf deutschen Konzertboeden ist dabei mehr und mehr allein, es bleibt gaenzlich fuer sich!! Das ist sehr ungewoehnlich, Deutschland, seine Musiker, aber selbst die Dirigenten, Tenoere auch, gehoerte traditionell immer schon zu den sehr grossen auch noch anderen weltweiten Musiknationen selber mit auch, das war so auch nie anders!

There's another one????? And it's also on YouTube! (The above link didn't play for me but this one does:)

How many of these are there? xD

(for context I've Just watched 2 I hadn't known about before)

Das Doppelte Lottchen (1950)

My rating: 4/10

Einer der seltenen Fälle, in denen das amerikanische Remake (beide, die ich gesehen habe) besser sind als das Original. Bisher hat mir keine Version dieses Films wirklich gut gefallen, aber diese ist noch ein bisschen ereignisloser als die anderen, und Kästners Erzählerstimme wirkt eher störend.

One of those rare cases where the American remake (both I've seen, actually) is better than the original. None of the versions of this movie I've seen were really for me, but this one is particularly devoid of events, and Kästner's narration is annoying.

[thestruggleitself]

would you believe 🧠 me if said 💬 i tried to acquire a das doppelte lottchen type of custody agreement 🤷

[lilolilyr]

Tagged by @banashee to post 10 of my favorite comfort movies and then tag 10 people, thanks! <3 just had a look at yours again after writing mine, we agree on LotR :D and adsfg I really need to watch Rocky Horror one of these days (I've seen it live before, but never the movie I think?? Oupsie xD fast ne Bildungslücke!)

1. Lord of the Rings (whole trilogy but if I have to choose one then Return of the King)

Comfort movie: battles and darkness and Winning

A++

2. Racing Stripes

(The film's in colour but it looks like this is the only gif I can find when I type in the title lmao)

One of a handful of taped movie me and my sister watched on repeat as a kid. Big nostalgia

3. Chestnut: Hero of Central Park

I can't find a gif for that one at all, but it's another cute kids movie I used to watch A Lot and still sometimes return to for the comfort of nostalgia and safety

4. Monte Carlo

I love all those silly switcharoo films, also the princess switch and its sequels etc, but Monte Carlo was the first one I watched and I still love to watch it for some mindless destress entertainment xD

Ummmm okay what else we got, I can't actually easily think of comfort!movies, I've got a whole bunch of comfort TV shows that come to mind, and movies I love but that aren't exactly /comfort/... *Goes through my Ao3 fandom list* no nothing clicks nothing clicks... Oh!

5. Pitch Perfect

Just the first one tbh, I mean the others are fun too but this one's a comfort film for me!

6. murder, she said

I adore Miss Marple, and this version of Miss Marple specifically! I've watched this one so many times :)

7. The Parent Trap

It's cute. Okay? It's cute xD and I've probably watched this version at least as often as the German one I'll add next, probably bc this one was on TV more often? Idk, I couldn't actually say which one I like more

8. Charlie & Louise

Again no gifs on here, but I adore this film! Also as you can maybe tell I'm actually running out of ideas and the Real comfort would be reading the book version of Das Doppelte Lottchen that both this and the parent trap are loosely based on xD my mom still has an old hardcover version and I've always adored that book, wished I had a twin whenever I read it as a kid!

9. Pride and Prejudice

Alright so th Colin Firth series version is better and the YouTube Lizzie's diaries or what it is is the best anyway but we're doing movies here and the Keira Knightley version Is definitely a comfort film for me so here goes

Ok so there are Definitely pride and prejudice gifs somewhere on tumblr. It just won't show them in the search results for sommme reason. Seems to be because it has the word 'pride' in it, because whenever I type that it switches to the 'create your own gif' error image. @staff what's up with that? Latent homophobia again?

10. Kyss Mig

First wlw film I ever watched, I still remember watching it (on mute, with English subtitles, there's no German or English dub anyway) in my parents' living room when I was 12 or so, with the computer display turned away from everyone else, actually pretending to be on tumblr (the rule was we had to be at least in the same room for evening family time even if I was uninterested in whatever movie or sports the others were watching but I was allowed to be on tumblr) and trying not to show any reaction to the screen bc at the time I had no idea what my parents' stance regarding LGBT ppl was (parents, tell your kids when you're okay with them being gay, bc they might be and they won't just Know that you're okay with that!), and idk I've had friends tell me it's not their fav film and maybe it's mainly the nostalgia for me but I still absolutely adore this movie and have rewatched it many times

Tagging my mutuals, friends and collaborators <3 @toboldlynerd @lavendelhummel @squishmittenficfan @purlturtle @mimi-mindless @asstraightasau-turn @katieswain123 @verajasmijnart @artax-risen @bookgirlfan only if you want to do it of course! :) & pls lmk if you'd rather I didn't tag you in the future!

Edit: looking at old posts in my 'movie tag' and 'comfort movies' tags now like omg! Of course! Mr&Mrs Smith, Lara Croft, Mean Girls, Carol..... Also I only just thought of Miss Congeniality! Adsfghjkl I really have 0 memory sometimes!

[lichtecht]

it kind of bothers me that „Das doppelte Lottchen“ has been turned into „The Parent Trap“ and it’s all about reuniting the parents. that was not the point of the book?? they didn’t switch places just to get their parents back together

[unfug-bilder]

In diesem komplizierten Fall rate ich dringend zum Einsatz von KI. Die LERNT ja bekanntlich.

The Parent Trap (1998, Nancy Meyers)

27/12/2023

The Parent Trap is a 1998 Disney film starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan in her first film appearance.

It is a remake of The Parent Trap (1961) with Hayley Mills and, like the original, is based on the German novel Lisa and Lottie (Das Doppelte Lottchen, 1949) by Erich Kästner.

Hallie Parker is a 12-year-old girl who grew up in Napa Valley, California, with her father, Nick Parker, a wealthy vineyard owner. Annie James, on the other hand, lives in London with her mother Elizabeth James, known as Lizzie, an established wedding dress designer. The two girls are actually twins, separated at birth immediately after the divorce of their parents who decided to each take custody of one of their daughters. Neither of them knows of the other's existence until, by coincidence, 12 years after their birth, they find themselves attending the same summer camp in Maine, both being surprised by their extraordinary physical resemblance.

Their plan, however, seems to collapse when Annie, as Hallie, learns that her father is about to marry a young woman, Meredith Blake, who, however, seems only interested in the man's money and intends to send Hallie to a boarding school immediately after the wedding. The girls, after being discovered about the role swap, mange to get their parents to meet and have dinner on a yacht; the following day they go on a trip to the mountains, where, as planned, Lizzie, Nick, Hallie and Annie were supposed to go. Back home, Nick prepares a candlelit dinner for Lizzie in his villa, but later the two decide to return to their previous lives by dividing the twins, but Annie and Lizzie, arriving home, find a surprise: Hallie and Nick arrived before them thanks to a concord that takes half the time.

Filming for the film took place from July 15, 1997 to December 17, 1997.

[mothmans-cumrag]

Ok was anyone gonna tell me that the reason why the plot of The Parent Trap sounded so familiar is that it is indeed just an adaption of Erich Kästner's novel Das Doppelte Lottchen from 1942 or was I just supposed to find that out via a Good Omens AU myself?
