Heintje - Einmal wird die Sonne wieder scheinen

I watched the movie twice. Today, I watch it for the third time. Wow, I'm surprised to watched it again and still be interested in it. It isn't the sort of movies you will never watch again. The music in the movie < the last rose in summer > polish up the movie. All in all, It's my cup of tea.

A high quality musical movie. A charming story with five beautiful songs by the childhood star - Heintje, the little hero who is playing the role of a detective after his father is innocently thrown into jail. It was very popular in China during 1980s, and affected not only one generation - both my mother and I like it very much. Since the move was totally dubbed, few people in China knows it's original name (It's Chinese name is Handsom Child), nor the name of Heintje. It took me three for searching this movie on the net, and finally found it by the lyric of the sound track...

Enjoy the memorable songs: Little child, little sorrow Two little stars The last rose in the summer

I saw the movie when I was still a young kid (younger than Heintje in the movie) in China and honestly couldn't remember much other than it's a nice movie. But the song "Kleine Kinder, kleine Sorgen" from this movie was my favorite. So beautiful and pure, its rhythms always makes me happy. On my 9th birthday, my parents called the local radio station for the song as my birthday present - still the most memorable birthday present I've ever received. So many years had passed and I sometimes wish I am still the "kleine Kinder" that I used to be, with "kleine Sorgen". They really should make more beautiful, loving, non-violent movies for today's children. It seems that most people commenting on the movie are Chinese. Was it popular in Germany when it was released in the 70's?

Don't remember if I had watched the movie. But the songs in the movie bring me back for 30 years, after a friend of mine forwarded the songs to a group chat.

Like other reviewers from China, we were all lived in a 'forbidden' country ruled by communist for a time when beautiful music is so rare, like ration foods that you couldn't choose.

Heintje's movie and songs like the fresh spring air breezing into China ...

I was shocked to see that this movie's rating is so low.

In case you don't know, this movie was super popular when it was played in China during the early 80's. I was still a teenager myself. It left me a good memory. Therefore, I felt the need to give it a 10 and write a comment, since there was only one comment left on this page.

Anyway, back to China, at that time, China didn't have a lot of money to import big Hollywood movies, and the government itself was very strict on which movies were allowed to be imported. So Chinese people had little choices. And at the same time, not many people had TVs at their homes, and there were only a few TV stations in every city. Further, the entertainment industry was only in the early stage. DVD players were not even invented at that time. VCR was probably very expensive, and not many people can afford to buy those tapes, either. So in conclusion, there were not many things people can do for fun.

Movie tickets were cheap at that time, and watching a movie at a movie theater was a big part of people's life, I suppose. Then there came this German movie, it didn't involve any politics, and it was just about an innocent good looking boy with a nice voice who can sing some really beautiful songs. And the story line was not too bad at all.

Unlike the foreign movies played in the US, almost all foreign movies were dubbed in China. So common people can watch the movie easily. The songs were innocent, and not too "capitalist." So those songs were also very popular. Many young kids including myself actually learned how to sing that song "Kleine Kinder,kleine Sorgen" in Chinese. Even today, I still remember how to sing it. And because of that movie, I even searched online for a quite long time, even ordered a CD sang by Heintje all the way from Germany. =) And that is my story about this movie.
