How To Use Produce To Deep Clean Face

Anonymous: A Woman in Berlin (Anonyma, Eine Frau in Berlin )

Anonymous, a woman in Berlin (2008)

The story begins in Berlin in April 1945. As Soviet troops fought fierce fighting the past and to seize control of the capital, thousands of German civilians, begins an ordeal due to the wave of violations that trigger the Red Army soldiers against German women who fall into their hands. One of those anonymous young women, after suffering in their own flesh the oppression of Russian soldiers, will narrate the events that happened in those dangerous days that preceded the end of the war.

From April 20 until June 22, 1945, in the dim light gave him a candle, a young German journalist in a notebook meticulously recorded the daily adventures that she and other civilian survivors lived during the early days of Russian occupation of Berlin. This notebook experiences formed the basis for the book Eine Frau in Berlin (A Woman in Berlin ") which was published in English in 1954. In this book, she popped the wave of indiscriminate sexual abuse committed by Soviet soldiers against German women who remained in the ruins of Berlin when the city was conquered by Russian troops in April 1945. However, the book does not merely recount the atrocities committed by the Russians, but also showed the attitude of many German women who agreed to mingle with the passengers in exchange for food, protection and comfort for even the worst days war. Therefore, it is not surprising that appear in 1959 published the German edition of the daily, Germany unleashed a lively debate about the contents, as memories of war were still too fresh in the German collective memory. This won her the newspaper decided not to disclose your name and remain permanently anonymous, giving instructions that his identity not be revealed, even after his death, which occurred in 2001. Nevertheless, in 2003 it was learned that the author was Martha Miller, a journalist who had studied at the Sorbonne University.

Evidence that the issue still remains hot in Germany has been to wait until 2008 for the text A woman in Berlin was adapted to film. Adaptation, funded by German capital, was given by the director Max Färberböck who was also responsible for preparing the script for the film, acting as co-writer of the same.

Entering rating the movie, I must say that this has a very strong start, showing the confusion of civilians who are caught in a furious battle, seasoned with a beginning effective and realistic war scenes that give a lot of strength in this first installment of the film. Neither are bad scenes that show the beginning of contact between the German and Russian soldiers, and sober realism, without lapsing into barbarism, shows how the rapes of German women at the hands of Soviet soldiers. Should also emphasize the careful reconstruction of the scenarios that recreate the demolished Berlin the last days of the war, a work environment that is quite convincing on screen.

However, not all aspects of the film are equally positive. How weaknesses should be noted first that the film as a whole, lacks dramatic intensity to really move the viewer. Everything is told from a deliberately balanced and sober perspective, but what has not come to pass fiber sensitive viewer. Perhaps because in the end it is too academic in the narrative level, throwing in a few drops of humor failure or ease the burden tragicomic drama of the narrative. In addition, the various subplots that are introduced to accompany the main narrative (as the young German soldier who is hiding from the Russians or the mature couple who finds his house occupied by a Russian soldier almost teenager) do not end up being well developed nor contribute much to the history of the star, beyond the anecdotal.

In any case, we must recognize that " Anonima ..." is a movie brave enough to portray facts that many have wanted to save forgotten, and sets out in formal neatness honesty and a story not without interest. It is definitely a film, not outstanding in terms of cinematic quality, but certainly human and historical interest, being one of those titles remind managers of the other side of the war, the civilian casualties.

Liberation (Osvobozhdeniye). The Last Assault

Liberation (1969). Part V: The Latest Assault.

April 20, 1945. One after the resistance of the last German troops fighting on the outskirts of Berlin , Soviet troops prepare to launch the final assault on the Reich capital. While the Soviet command prepares the assault Reichstag and Russian assault troops are approaching the heart of the city, in the bunker of the Reich Chancellery, Hitler , after marrying his former mistress Eva Braun , prepares to commit suicide before falling into enemy hands.

The Last Assault is the fifth and closing title series Liberation, besides being chronological continuation of "The Battle of Berlin ", which completes the recreation of the battle for Berlin. Again, as occurred in the fourth installment, the propagandistic tone that takes the film to tackling the story of the conquest of Berlin by Soviet forces is remarkably accused. And of course, the story omits any hint of criminality on the part of Russian troops to the German civilian population, to the point where Soviet soldiers are portrayed in a way rather idealized as protectors of German civilians, which, of course, is only slightly adjusted to the actual historical facts, but is directly at odds with them.

thing about this part, as in previous ones, lies in the excellent recreation of the outdoor stages and careful staging. For the filming of this part were used as decorations crumbling buildings of an old district of Berlin that was to be demolished, so the sense of authenticity of the scenarios is absolute. It is also remarkable recreation of the assault is made of Reichstag, the former German parliament, which actually was a burned debris from the fire suffered by the building in 1933, but the conquest of which had an undeniable moral and symbolic value for the Soviet military. And how could it be otherwise, the film portrays the world famous photograph Soviet flag flying atop the building after its conquest by Russian troops. Neither are bad

the scenes set in the bunker of the chancellery, Hitler showing the of the last days of the war, physically and morally broken down in defeat; although the sequence of suicide is too histrionic and unrealistic. The film suggests that Hitler killed Eva Braun and then did not dare to commit suicide by his own hand, which does not fit at all to the testimony of witnesses about the circumstances of death of Hitler and his wife. This scene seems, once again, a toll propaganda film, with the obvious purpose of removing any hint of heroism to the suicide of Hitler . Finally, the film culminates with the celebration of Russian troops at the gates of Reichstag after the capture of the building, and images contemporaries who are showing, by way of homage, the figures dropped by every nation in the war, ending with the millions of deaths suffered by the USSR in the conflict.

In short, The Last Assault , maintains the same constant from the previous titles in the series. A more remarkable re-enactment and stage, which is marred by overly linear narration, characters in addition to schematic drawings, and a story that has too-obvious-elements and propaganda. Therefore, it is undeniable that Liberation is, from the point of view aesthetic, a role model, but also can only conclude that it is pretty mediocre film appearance, and historically speaking too Manichean. In any case, one viewing is not inferior by aficionados of the history of World War II, especially for its successful re-creation of the military aspects of the war.
