I shall put it on my already-too-long list of movies I should watch at some point in my life. But I gather I should put Shelter on there before that?
And hey, if inspiration strikes, why not write for them? I take it that the movie was subtitled and not dubbed? From what I've seen so far, a lot of subtitling simplifies dialogue (but that might be because you need a lot more text in German to translate things literally, so it might actually be the other way around in your case), so I say: go crazy.
I know what you mean about the film... And if you are compelled to write Marc and Kay's continued story, then I will be obliged and very interested to read your offerings. You are a wonderful writer, sleeper6. I'm already anticipating where you will take them... I wouldn't worry about the language issue, because I love subtitled films and the English works easily for me because I would hear their original accents in my minds eye... Sending you much encouragement...

Yeah, it's subtitled, which will hopefully help my ongoing goal to learn German. I've been re-watching it loads. :)
I guess I could try it. I've been meaning to seek out fanfic for this film. We'll see. . .
