Just plain boredom

Are you looking for weird, boring, unrelatable, not connected stories? than that is a film for you. all stories aren't connected to eachother and they are really really boring. don't get mi wrong, the film is not bad, I just felt so uninvolved in all those stories.

Like Paris Je T'Aime ? No.

You are probably like me wondering, is this as good as Paris Je T'Aime? The short answer, no. Not even remotely. Paris Je T'Aime had some amazing atmosphere and fantastic acting.

This, although some big name actors involved, is just utter garbage. Honestly how is this movie so terrible ? One of the reasons may be that Paris Je T'Aime was honestly just about LOVE and therefore had a HEART and a SOUL. This movie in contrast, was just filled with tiresome political messages, which Hollywood keeps pushing as usual, the story was clearly just secondary, more like a 'filler' for the politics.

Honestly, if you decide to watch the movie, which I don't advice, you'll see that my review is absolutely on point. Although the first 20~30 minutes were borderline acceptable, in my opinion it's much more worth it to just watch Paris Je T'Aime for a second time instead.

Eh? Nein

I am a huge fan of this kind of movies "short random (or not) stories in one". But "Berlin" was really hard to watch, depressing and boring. I was in Berlin and it's an amazing city. But if not - I wouldn't even have a slightest urge to visit it after watching this movie. Nothing is about "love or spirit". Oh and Mickey Rourke scene was just embarrassing, I was sitting with my eyes half closed (if I ignore it maybe it will go away). Ignore this movie, believe the rate.

It's horrid

This film is a collage of segments of people whose lives intersect in Berlin.

With this many big names, it is a surprise that the film is allowed to be a horrid mess. Just the first segment alone is enough to make me lose interest in the whole film. It is a bizarre short about a man and a GPS system, and it is just way too strange to be likable. The subsequent segments get no better, not even the one with Helen Mirren and Keira Knightley. The Berlin protrayed in the film is an unattractive dump, and it does not inspire any romantic feelings. Fortunately, there is one segment that is good, which is the puppet show one. It gives warmth and radiates attraction, which is the only segment that sticks to romantic love in Berlin.

Trivia
The famous Chinese artist and political dissident Ai Weiwei - who currently lives and works in Berlin - shot a much anticipated episode for this movie, that was cut from the final version. He explained in an interview, that this happened because of hidden economic pressure from China: "The film has faced tremendous difficulties with regard to financing and distribution. During the promotion and sale of the film, the producer told us he had never faced such strong pushback on any previous film he had made than as he had from my participation in this film. People clearly told him that my involvement would be a problem for them to get financial support or distribution. It could even cause problems for future films, such as the next planned film, [error]. This comes as no surprise; China's influence in the cultural realm is beyond my imagination."

Quotes
[first lines]
Jane: [narrating] So this is Berlin, a pounding heartbeat of a divided muscle. Grown out of fear of complete destruction.
Ronald Reagan: [file tape] Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
Jane: Crushed and reduced to ashes, and it rose from it's ashes like a phoenix. Like a golden angel. People come to Berlin to dream, to dance, and to fall in love. And some of them... to fly away. I came here to sing.
