Germanican? Engleutsch?, 21 November 2009
1/10
Author: hasosch from United States

There are many insane people living outside of psychiatric clinics. As a matter of fact, it is even the trend today to let them live in community as long as they do not harm their environment. However, with "art" it is a bit different than it is with everyday's activities. Max Bense had already attacked Joseph Buys in the 50ies making it clear that the slaughtering of a pig has nothing to do with art. And this was before Godard's infamous film. Nevertheless, the second law of thermodynamics predicts the chaotic state as the more natural state than the ordered one. Therefore, it should not really astonish that movies with an "entropic" understanding of what is art, are in the majority. However, living in a democracy, it seems to be a price that one has to pay that the lowest-level nonsense can be sold as art.

Another point, however, it is, that by such movies like "Fearmakers", a whole country like Germany gets into a bad reputation. On the international market, the new releases from Germany are mainly about "Vergangenheitsbewältigung", i.e. the innumerable Anti-Nazi- and Anti-Stasi movies, followed by Gay movies, and then by trash movies like one to comment here. Nazi-Stasi-Gay-Trash - every American must think that this Tetrad is what Germany produces today, and people like Rose are responsible for this thrash-image Germany gets. The reality look quite different, but obviously, it is easier to reach the international market with pseudo-art than with real art. At the same time, where hundreds of movies from Germany's past are still waiting to be finally released on international DVD - fine, old works who could stand the competition of their foreign concurrence - what one gets in the US is the garbage of Rose and his brothers in the "spirit". "Fearmakers" is not even German, it is 90% English. There are German actors whose German is hardly understandable, full of elementary mistakes. Such elaborates like "Fearmakers" are mental polluting of the environment.
