Dieses bescheuerte Herz

Starting from a song named Bangarang by Skrillex. It brought back some good memories in the beginning of the movie ;P The other soundtracks are quite nice too. This movie was better than I thought. I thought it would be a cliche but actually not. Maybe the little boy, David, has done more things in his 20 years than mine. Lenny's dad has made a nice call.

The heart is quite the curious ... well muscle or organ or whatever you want to call it (I think medically speaking it is closer to a muscle). If broken it is almost impossible to fix. Although who knows what can be done in the future. Right now we have replacement operations and all that. But this is about a deeper issue, about how we live life - about trying to be a better self, no matter our background.

Now this does sound like this might have quite a few cliches ... and it does start quite badly to be honest. I had a hard time to find something to like - it seemed quite forced upon the viewer. But our "ill" character here lightens the mood enough - all the while he has some outbreaks. But outbreaks that make sense. He is young, he doesn't know better. And than the bonding starts ... with some really good dialog - and some heartwarming scenes - no pun intended.

Yes it is quite predictable in where it will go - but it has its heart on its sleave ... ok enough heart puns. But trust me when I tell you, because I tend to be a bit critical when it comes to german dramas of this kind: this actually hits its mark, after a troubled beginning! So don't turn off at first if you feel the same way ... give it a chance.

Lovely story with good actors... We already seen more than 3 times... :-) // hello from Budapest //

1 hour and 46 minute of happiness. Highly recommended.

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Some might say that these types of films are easy to attract audiences because it is based on a true story and inside you can see how everyone improves and grows throughout the story, but in my opinion this type of story needs to be told because it truly represents a beautiful and sweet face of cinema and reality. So in my opinion this film must be seen because with great calm and sweetness a story is told which, if told badly, could have been very heavy but is not light and beautiful. In conclusion this is a wonderfull movie.
