Fucking Berlin

Full of stereotypes of Berlin and without any emotional depth of the main character.

For me it gives an opinion about Berlin and German life and I don't have thinking there's something like that and about the movie somehow it was boring but the story was different for me so I watched it

The problem i see in the movie is with the casting: the actress that plays Sonja is just too normal, with model-like looks, whereas the author of the novel was much more peculiar. "Einsam in Berlin" -- an Italian, with rather voluptuous looks, she must have felt a bit isolated in Berlin, which eventually lead to the lifestyle. I think there is a disconnect because of the casting. Even if the book material might have not been very dramatic (being a biography, not a story), the movie is actually very watchable. The soundtrack, the city are beautiful, you see a snapshot of everyday berlin for younger, poorer people.

It's really a story about a lonely woman in berlin, during the age of legal prostitution and as berlin becomes a meltpot of its own. The layer of people that she meets might be very specific, but they are out there: the immigrants, the drug addicts, people from poorer regions. Perhaps the author wanted to separate her 'normal life' from her 'prostitution life' -- so we don't see much of interaction with her friends at school, or, perhaps, the author was autistic enough to be in a more isolated position, and the 'prostitution' life filled the friendless void.

But in essence, the movie gives a different angle on a woman and a city, not that glamorous as 'Sex & City', but there are layers in the society, and the movie captured one of them. The layers are different, the upshots of the stories are very similar.

I never knew a movie can make me regret this much I saw it . I never regret anything , but this movie was so with no sens and bad that I regret at all I lose 2 hours of my life watching this s**t. Sorry

I have to say, that I do see the points which are criticize by so many ratings. But I also see a movie that portraits the feeling of coming and living in Berlin as an outsider, in an incredible accurate way.

The plot, more the scripting of it does use a lot of clichees, but it also makes you sympathize with the main character. The cast does give me an authentic feeling of being in Berlin, whether its a club, a bar or a park.

I see the movie as a sign for how misunderstood this branch of work is and how much work is still left, until we all can accept each other and the decisions we are making in our lives.
