Richy Guitar!

[gothikmaus]

All right, now that I've watched the whole film, I can write a nice fangirly entry about it.

First of all: it's so '80s that I couldn't not love it. The same way I liked "Sposerò Simon Le Bon" ("I'll marry Simon Le Bon"), a cheesy Italian film from the '80s where the main character is a Duran Duran fangirl. They're not masterpieces, but they're so much fun to watch. Besides, the former is set in Berlin and the latter in Milan and I like watching films that were shot in cities I know.

Being the Bela fangirl that I am, I was eagerly waiting for his first appearance. Imagine my reaction as he walked down the stairs dressed as a hamburger man. Why, yes, I squealed, how did you guess? I'm hopeless.

Apart from drooling anytime the camera was on Bela (so many yummy close ups) here are a few things I liked:

- the Richy/Anja kiss outside the caravan: it actually made me giggle. So much for a fictional kiss, you could see Farin's tongue nice and clear. He must have thought "Well, let's have a bit of fun while I'm here." You naughty, naughty boy.

- the band bus: they fixed an old Berliner Kindl bus and changed the name into "Berliner Kinder". And since Berliner Kindl was my favourite beer when I was in Berlin, the whole thing made me go "Aww".

- the party on the lake: more specifically, Igor's behaviour at the party. While Hans was chatting with a girl, Igor was chatting with an American soldier. And quite coyly too. At one point he linked his arm through the soldier's and the soldier said "Ich bin verheiratet" (I'm married). I was dying.

- Richy getting arrested: I really liked the scene where Richy is brought into a cell and there's this close up of him behind the bars and he says "Richard Schrader heiß ick. Kann ick jetzt jehen?" For some reason, I found it really sweet. Must be the Berliner accent.

And even if there aren't subtitles, I understood most of it. So, yes, I'm very happy with it. I'll post some more screencaps soon, but for the moment...


Me being silly last Friday night. Oh, mein Schatz...


And my brand new DVDs.


I hope my friend from Berlin will be able to bring me "Die Band, die sie Pferd nannten" and a few Ärzte CDs when he comes to Milan in a couple of weeks. *finger crossed*

And I've caught a cold. Damn.

Sorry about the cold, dear. I'm getting over a sinus infection. I'm willing to wait until you feel better to see my picture :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Yes, your picture. I'm terribly sorry for keeping you waiting, but it's almost done! I may even finish colouring it tonight... :)

I hope you'll like it even if it's a very simple picture...

lol, I understand why you were being silly :P *laughs*

Hey, I did see "Richy Guitar", but I don't remember the party on the lake...Warum??? O_o

And I hope you'll getting better *hugs*

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

You don't remember it? O_O It's towards to end of the film, after Hans punches Richy in the nose and Richy walks off into the forest. A girl comes to fetch Igor, Hans and the saxophonist and takes them to the party. It was a bit odd, with a belly-dancer too, and in the end Richy shows up and plays the guitar on the shore. And punches Hans in the nose as well. ^__^

And I'm already feeling better, thank you. :)

[eryka-59.livejournal.com]

Ahem, I think I should re-see it, lol.
I know Richy punches Hans in the nose, and I know Richy's walking in the forest, but...a belly dancer?? an American soldier???? Hmmmmm....*frowns*

Or perhaps it's because the TV-version was shorter? O_o It's perhaps some kind of "bonus"?

"Well, I don't know about Bela *cough*, but Igor didn't look like the straightest guy on earth, you know. ;)"
LOL! I believe that too! :P (Did you read "Watching the aeroplanes"? About Igor and Richy? Wunderbare Story...)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think it was a bonus, it's the last chapter in the DVD, the title was "Party am See" I think. Yeah, you should probably re-watch it. ^__^

And yes, I read "Watching the aeroplanes" and I loved it, totally loved it. *sigh*

[eryka-59.livejournal.com]

Mee toooo!!! :)

Party am See??? Dann bin ich sicher, dass es das nicht in der Fernseh-Film gab!

more specifically, Igor's behaviour at the party. While Hans was chatting with a girl, Igor was chatting with an American soldier. And quite coyly too. At one point he linked his arm through the soldier's and the soldier said "Ich bin verheiratet" (I'm married)
WHAT?! *squeaks* OMG I totally missed that!!!! *dies* So much for Bela being straight and everything. Seriously.

I checked it another time, just to be sure I hadn't misundestood, but no, that's exactly what happens. Igor links his arm through the soldier's and makes a funny face and the soldier tells him "Ich bin verheiratet". With an American accent. :)

Well, I don't know about Bela *cough*, but Igor didn't look like the straightest guy on earth, you know. ;)
