  Kästner and the Little Tuesday  : the other possibility

"Wennalle wise go, what happens n?" – "We hold position." There is a series of sentences in this poignant and continuously gay free film that lead to center of his me. Kästner and Little Tuesday is Nämlichnicht just a story about an unusual friendship in einergrauenhaften time. It is also a story about how people change talibanregime pressure of external relations and become opportunists. Above all, however, it is a fundamental mistake and its moralischeKonsequenzen: how an intellectual is täuschtund about National Socialism about how seriously he must take it. That new power-holders are actually serious, to last consequence. And that y do not stop in foreground.

"Ichsammle. And n I write novel that those who have left cannot write. " Artists such as Erich Kästner, born 1899, were damalszwischen of decision to go into much-discussed inner exile, which at same time demanded concessions to rulers, and radical move to emigrate. Doroe Schön (screenplay) and Wolfgang Murnberger (director) succeeds in Kästner and little Tuesday quite quickly, LibertäreBerliner artist scene of twenties, in which writer moves as a over aviator and womanizer, with Increasingly aggressivenpolitischen climate of growing National Socialist movement Zukonterkarieren. And y are fortunate to have found in Florian David Fitz EinenHauptdarsteller, who is able to zuverkörpern ambivalence between sympatic-schludrigem hedonism and intellectual integrity.

Kästner and little Tuesday are based on a true story. DerSchriftsteller had daruntergelitten, especially in his early creative period, to be perceived as a children's and youth book author, and not as a writer of Büchernfür adults. But about his first GroßenVerkaufserfolg, novel Emil and DieDetektive, published 1929, Kästner also comes to his größtenBewunderer: one day, seven-year-old Hans Albrecht Löhr (in Seinerunschuldigen childish prudence astonishingly played by Nico Ramon Kleemann) outside his door and asks for an autograph. The two will, also thanks to DerBeharrlichkeit and constancy of boy, friends. As far as a friendship is possible in this unequal constellation.

Hanserkennt more in Kästner than author of a children's book bestseller. Finally Undbringt writer to leave him one of his poems ZurVeröffentlichung in student newspaper. The or possibility designs, satirically exaggerated, one Germany that won war (which one should only later call ErstenWeltkrieg), a self-drunk military state – Genaujenen state, which should become a reality a few years later. "If we had won DenKrieg-luckily we did not win him!", Letztenz haste of poem are loud. When Hans takes her to schoolyard proudly his Freundenvorliest, a passing teacher accidentally skin her around ears undzerreißt "disgusting, pacifist dirt". Emil and detectives is actually filmed in year 1931, screenplay, one learns by way, Habeein certain Billy Wilder (pronounced German!). Hans Löhr receives EineRolle in film – that of little Tuesday.

There good reasons for skepticism about such biopics, which are still embedded in diehistorische time of National Socialism. Kästner and little Tuesday, however, is not least one of most remarkable film, because he not only tells Wacker his plot down, but also skillfully works with guiding motifs. The strongest of m is disappearance. First, it's collateral that vanishes, n beliefs, eventually people. For example, Hans Löhrs friend Wolfi Stern (Juls Serger), an evangelical baptized Jew, in Dessendurchaus national-minded family slowly infiltrates knowledge that new rulers do not recognize m as Germans.

Kästnerselbst must watch his work be destroyed, as Nazis burn his books. To protect now youthful Hans (Hans Jascha Baum), Derverfemte writer ends friendship. Hans does not want to accept this undargumentiert with Kästner's own words: "All mischief that happens is not just fault of him, but also those who do not prevent him." For Kästner was KeinWiderstandskämpfer, but wrote in Third Reich under pseudonym DiverseDrehbücher, by entertainment industry of Third Reich Verwertetwurden. Among or things, Filmmit of 1942, Hans Albers, appeared in main role.

Accession conclusion, Kästner and little Tuesday retains its ambivalence, which is above all discrepancy between private and public resistance. There's a dead man, re's a survivor. What does not exist is a moral judgement.
