#german historical drama

[litas-writings]

Ja ja, meine neueste Obsession ist Charité und insbesondere Otto Marquardt x Martin Schelling ^^ Wer die Serie gesehen hat, weiß wovon ich spreche, uns wer nach einer guten, langen, kompletten und gut charakterisierten fic sucht is hiermit genau richtig. Es ist so eine gute Vervollständigung zu Martins Geschichte (auch zu Ottos, aber da die Story aus Martins Sicht erzählt wird, hat man eher einen Einblick auf Martins Gedanken) und ich war bis zum Ende gefesselt. Wer die beiden, so wie ich, lieb gewonnen hat, dem kann ich Primun Non Nocere nur wärmsten ans Herz legen.

Und wenn ihr Charité nicht gesehen habt, dann schaut es euch an!!

Disclaimer: I did these without any proof reading and while still slightly drunk from mulled wine with a headache. The subtitles should still be understandable but are definitely far from any professional subtitles but I'm sure they will do for now until official subs come along.

Since I paid for RTL+ already, I can also give Das Haus der Träume a go.

Two amazing fanfic moments I had this week:

Writing a fic for a fandom that is so small that 50% of the fics are all written by the same 3 authors and you have a favourite among them. Now imagine said author leaving a comment and a kudo on your fic!! Best moment of the week!!

Getting into a new fandom (even smaller than the first one) and finding a finished fic of > 100 000 words, with amazing writing and keeping you hooked until the end. Btw one of the best fics I've ever read in my life.

I just finished watching Die Wannseekonferenz (1984) and Conspiracy (2001) back to back.

While i get that that the latter is a lot more accessible to american audiences, i never really got into it. It's just so concerned with casting good and bad guys for the audience to relate to, constantly mentions and compares things to americas political situation and modern us values, and it has a surprisingly large amount of clumsy exposition.

While the performances of the actors are really good, the acting style favoured by this picture is is very dramatic and, in it's manners VERY british. I suppose that just reads as european to americans.

But the dramatic deliveries, the pregnant pauses, they take so much away from what made that historical event so terrifyng. These people argued, in a business meeting, about the beurocratic, legal and economic realitys of the final solution, that was already in progress.

The Wannseekonferenz (1984) gives you limited information at the beginning, but immidietly creates an atmosphere of comradery, where the only issue they have with each other, is wagering whose rank and jurisdiction matters more. This is continued in the meeting itself; it's a mind numbing logistics discussion where half the fights are just about who has what jurisdiction and everyone just trying to make it so their personal jobs will look especially well done.

It's only as the meeting progresses, and the audience slowly get's the subject and the extent of what is being discussed, that the horror sets in. Only then do they introduce the more personal stakes of some characters, only then some phylosophical questions enter in the form of law discussions.

I'm certain the Conspiracy is a lot more entertaining to casually watch, but if you are really interested what "banality of evil" can look like, i'd highly recommend Die Wannseekonferenz. It's currently on Youtube.
