    A pornographic shoot is being mixed up. Boots and revolvers in attic. Inexemplary duty fulfillment, police arrest perpetrators before and after camera. But in reality, it's not about naked butts, it's about pictures, superscripted Politikerbei bizarre games show. It's about extortion and power to get sex going esnatürlich always.

    So Welcome to Babylon Berlin, city where everything is possible and actually happens: hope and despair, transformations, conspiracies and vices of all kinds, even true love. The three directors Tom Tykwer, Henk Handloegten and Achim von Borries set new standards for television entertainment from 13th of October on Sky. The 18 episodes of BabylonBerlin are as good as really good International series. They drehensich around juggernaut of Berlin, kidnap temporal distance of WeimarerRepublik, but do so that parallels to present Unübersehbarbleiben.

    At best an experiment

    Twice, Berlin was absolutely modern in its history, so much so that whole world looked and sniffing came, today and in Twenties. Undwomöglich was even wilder at that time. The timing of this story with many strands is not badly chosen. The crisis is a feeling of life.

    It dauerteungefähr still three years until Hitler took over, but during months in which Berlin plays Babylon, Republic of Weimar is already at end. She has been forced into dieKnie by her haters and playful of ihrenVerteidigern, it is a dying in stages, clearly visible and preaudience. Neverless, most Germans follow this Bühnentod only with a cooling distance. The first German republic did not have any patriots, Leiderauch barely about mechanisms with which it could zurWehr against its inner enemies – and that's why it worked at end like a politischerOrganismus without an immune system. The one was greatest possible evil, because emperor was absent, or only an intermediate stage on way ZuSowjetkommunismus or dictatorship. Many considered it merely as lesser Übelnach of lost war and Treaty of Versailles, at best as an experiment that might well have deserved for a while. Sometime but not anymore.

    Parliamentarianism is perdu

    While DerKommissar Gereon Rath (Volker Bruch) finds and Charlotte Ritter (Liv LisaFries) as imaginative as pragmatic her life wuppt, last of great coalitions in Berlin collapses. Reich Chancellor Hermann Müller von DerSPD resigns in March 1930, and thus parliamentarianism perdu, dennjetzt lies power of Reich President Hindenburg, veteran, Demlebenden Memorial of good old days, but already quite decrepit is and Influence of a Camarilla reactionary junker. and DieseGroßgrundbesitzer want to abolish Republic definitively, so that following years of presidential cabinets and emergency are all or alsstabil, rar intensify feelings, one live in a dieGrundfesten of life destructive End times .

    1929 erscheintAlfred Döblin's Roman Berlin Alexanderplatz. It is story of a little man, in which many can rediscover mselves, who did not alsFettauge on top of soup, but remained poor and brought from war even trembling UndPanikattacken. This Franz Beaver is one, depure subject does not come to feet, which has a morality and a good heart, and neverless is ploughed under wheels of circumstances, a criminal aversion, a sacrifice of stronger, smarter, faster. The Republic is ruthless, and so have ir people, in Schnoddrigen Berlinohnehin. "You can't make it!" is slogan of little People, under of world economic crisis and austerity of ir government suffer.

    In Oktober1929, Black Friday in New York rips stock prices into depths. DieUSA demand ir loans from Germany, while Reich Chancellor intimes mass unemployment of state Unterstützungenkürzt. Hans Fallada tells in Little man – what now? From descent also middle class in those years. Hardly any one comes unscad. But Esfunktioniert still has everything, nor is timetables complied with, waste comes, and re is a police. Neverless, public life looks schonnach backdrop, it acts lazy under surface and smells of breakdown. The Blutmai, riots from 1st to 3rd of May 1929 Imberline wedding with 30 deaths, y had demonstrated that state politicalagreement violence no longer tame, yes it still stokes itself. Forces are AmWerk, which can no longer be kept in check by Republic. DasLebensgefühl is afraid.
