Message to Germans on PP

Message to citizens of Germany:
I have recently been doing interviews in an effort to promote the new Vicente Amorim movie "Good", a movie our film-making team is proud of, and in which I am proud play a German. It has come to my attention that, when I spoke about realising I had certain prejudices about Germans and their spoken language as I was

It's always better to see movies on the big screen, but if it doesn't show in Germany at least you'll be able to see it on DVD. I doubt that it'll be released here in Australia.

It really SHOULD be shown in Germany. I feel it's a movie that 'belongs' here.

As far as I know it is scheduled to come out in Germany in January. And regarding the "partial records" he's only too right. I stumbled across a few of them only yesterday and thought:"I can recognize the cuts. You make him sound like an idiot - which he isn't:" But there might be people around who know less about him and take those "reports" without the necessary pinch of salt. That could do damage.

You have a link where you read this? I mean both: the release date in Germany and the partial reports :). So far I didn't come across them. It's a bad thing to do something like this, even more so if the subject is such a sensitive one. But I think everybody knows there's no one who could be more politically correct than Viggo.

I do agree with you painted_horse.

I don't think that this is an easy film to market anyway and it would be a shame if all the hard work put in by Viggo, Jason, Jodie and Miriam in promoting it was undermined by the sensational way in which comments were taken out of context and reported partially.

As I said to painted horse, I don't think anybody would succeed in damaging Viggo's reputation this way. But nevertheless it's an evil thig to crop quotations like this!

since i don't live there, i don't know what the general concensus is about the nazis and so on. i've had some hints, though. a lot of german and german-russian immigrants, either first, second or third generation by the time world war II happened, bore a deep shame about it here. i always find that odd. i mean, they left right? because of either economic, religious, or political reasons usually. anyway, since you want to see it and i'm sure there are others like you, i hope there will be an opportunity at some point.

There are some idiots here in Germany who didn't get the lesson history teaches us - which is exactly the lesson the movie teaches, i.e. that you have to make the right choice with every smal decision and that a nation's destiny depends on all thes little decisions - but I think most German people would appreciate the movie and Viggo's work, and that of the others involved.
