Night of the Dance in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Hello party people!

Once you have as a mobile DJ for Munich and Upper Bavaria not always really good dancers on the dance floor, it is sometimes a nice change really talented dancers at work is watching. Even as a DJ on board the AIDAvita I had this kind of entertainment a pleasure and so I have 31 January 2011 will show the force of NIGHT OF THE DANCE in Garmisch-Partenkirchen indulgence.

The convention hall was filled to three-quarters as the idea started and you can tell that the boys and girls dancing on stage were really on it. In addition to elements from Riverdance and Lord of the Dance also ran dance routines reminiscent of Stomp and Grease not, however, with the original soundtrack - which I know live from Munich and Vienna. Michael Jackson and ABBA were not dispute with original titles, but these were pretty bumpy geschnipselt together. The conclusion of an ABBA medley, which was probably inspired by the musical MAMMA MIA , then ran seamlessly Boney M. 's "Daddy Cool" and I was hoping to more from Frank Farian's troops - but that's it. I asked myself at such shows already on board the AIDA, why something new and poorly arranged abmischt if there is already so much well-made mixes. Can not dance then about?

was general, the sound bad, the radio microphones were scratching at the first quilted lining, and after the break while the music played, but the dancers were not ready. Ergo, everything went again to the beginning. Embarrassing, embarrassing ...

The light show was nice, but not great, the Bühnendeko it barely exists. The costumes were ideal for quick changes, but not too expensive. For an idea in the province but it was well made and absolutely entertaining. The audience was rewarded with a few gags and a few employees in the form of clapping.

Acrobatic were the artists on stage, which audible and visible from Ireland, South America, Asia and the Eastern bloc were in any case, a real looker.

Here are a few snapshots, please excuse the quality, I've snapped with the iPhone without a flash. But they have become quite good, at least in small format ... Zwinkerndes Smiley

How Do I Tune In Acoustic Solutions Tv

Classic Scene: Sideways - "Are you chewing gum?"

The scene: A week before his wedding, goes to a failed TV actor Jack (Thomas Haden Church) with his college friend and connoisseur Miles (Paul Giamatti) on a wine tour through California. While Miles wants to give the benefits of grape varieties, Jack yearns for one last one night stand off the port of marriage. In a first stop in a winery Jack receives from his best man a wine lesson. À propos, who once "Sideways" seen, then never again dare to pack before a wine rack "any fucking Merlot."

INT. SANFORD TASTING ROOM - DAY

Miles and Jack are at a bar, holding two glasses with Pinot Noir against the sun-filled window.

MILES: First thing - hold the glass up and examine the wine against the light. You’re looking for color and clarity. Just get a sense of it. Okay?

JACK: Okay.

Again, both are holding their glasses against the light.

MILES: Thick? Thin? Watery? Syrupy? Okay?

JACK: Okay.

MILES: Now tip it.

Miles is tipping the glass over the counter.

MILES: (cont.) What you're doing here is checking for color density as it thins out toward the rim. That’s gonna tell you how old it is, among other things. It’s usually more important with reds. Okay?

JACK: Okay.

MILES: Now stick your nose in it.

Jack waves the glass under his nose like a perfume bottle.

JACK: Yeah?

Jack looks to Chris, the wine pourer, for confirmation.

MILES: Don't be shy. Really get your nose right in there. Really -

Miles buries his nose in the glass while Jack follows his lead.

MILES: (sniffs) Mmm. A little citrus. Maybe some strawberry. Mmm. Passion fruit. Mmm. And - Ah, there’s just, like, the faintest (sniffs) soupçon of like, uh, asparagus and - There’s a - just a flutter of, like, a - like, a nutty Edam cheese.

JACK: Wow.

Both start sniffing again.

MILES: Mmm.

JACK: Strawberries. Yeah.

MILES: Good.

JACK: Strawberries. Not the cheese.

MILES: Yeah. Put your glass down. Get some - Get some air into it.

Miles expertly swirls the wine on the counter. Jack follows suit.

MILES: Oxygenating it opens it up. It unlocks the aromas, the flavors. Very important. Smell again.

Both inhale into their glasses.

MILES: Ah. That's what you do with every one of ‘em.

JACK: Wow. (unpatiently) When do we drink it?

MILES: Now.

Jack gulps his wine down in one shot. Miles chews his before swallowing.

JACK: Mmm! Ahh.

MILES: Mmm.

JACK: How would you rate this one, Miles?

MILES: Well, usually they start you on wines with learning disabilities… but this one’s pretty damn good. (to Chris) This is the new one, right, Chris?

CHRIS: Just released about two months ago.

MILES: Nice job.

CHRIS: We like it.

JACK: (to Miles) You could work in a wine store, Miles.

MILES: Mmm. Yeah, that’d be a good move.

Miles looks at Jack and notices something.

MILES: Are you chewing gum?

The Wire - Season Five

The bigger the lie, the more they believe.

It was Adolf Hitler, who said: "The bigger the lie, the more people follow her." Such a lie dissolved on 1 September 1939, the attack on Poland, the Second World War. And such a lie intended for the fifth year of the acclaimed HBO series The Wire the events of last season. After the city of consuming drugs in the ghettos of Baltimore, the criminal activity on the docks, the corrupt city politics and the derelict school system, David Simon and Ed Burns devoted to the last ten episodes of their creation, the dying newspaper industry. And with it the last piece of the puzzle in its Zeitgeist analysis of an urban problem area.

than in any previous seasons of shows now on parallels between the two main strands. Both the newspaper The Baltimore Sun "and the police suffer from savings from their respective headquarters and get instructions to do more with less. What has the newspaper editor Gus Haynes around (Clark Johnson) to do so that people can not read its medium, to the police on a housing bust in Carcettis mayor (Aidan Gillen) back school policy. The result are on the one hand some of the job layoffs and on the other side of unpaid overtime and poor working conditions.

This in turn has a direct impact on the special unit of McNulty (Dominic West), Freamon (Clarke Peters), Greggs (Sonja Sohn) and Sydnor (Corey Parker Robinson) and their investigation of Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector). A savings of pursuing such action is for the time being suspended, which drives a disillusioned McNulty back into alcoholism and promiscuity. To obtain its desired resources, McNulty meets a serious decision and begins Unconfirmed reports dead homeless people to dress up as suspected serial killings. With The help of cheating reporter Scott Templeton (Thomas McCarthy) takes the lie then to grow.

And like most characters in The Wire Templeton also has an example from real life. It is based on journalists like Stephen Glass, who from 1995 to 1998 wrote for the magazine The New Republic "while faking quotes and articles content. In view of the job decline Templeton sees his job in jeopardy, and starts first has to style some of his posts before he dives in head first with McNulty's lies construct. As special as the running gag is also the claim of the editor, the Dickensian to follow the point of the story. Sun adapiert the sixth, The Dickensian Aspect indicates, like most of the episode title tag from the newspaper industry.

The acts in the editorial room of the Baltimore Sun and the homicide are similar is often suggested, for example, when journalists are like police officers in a meeting on the alleged homeless serial killer. The fact that both institutions have to deal with the motto "more with less" and each have a liar in his own series that draws attention to his work, the fifth season gives this regard a nice touch of two-sided illumination of the same Theme (and ultimately the use of "top" with the consequences of their own doing). Almost more than the media, are "lies" the theme of the fifth season.

For the same faces of the now promoted to Colonel Daniels (Lance Reddick) in conflict with the promises of Carcetti during the election campaign that this does not seem to hold because of the financial hole in the registry. And Marlo is drawn must Rumschlag with lying, if his street credibility of different peripheral figures in the dirt. Above all, Omar (Michael K. Williams), who is lured by Marlo from exile back to Baltimore and a personal Vendetta starts. Lying and deception to sneak in Proposition Joe (Robert F. Chew) co-operative with Marlos scrupulous and uncompromising behavior does not seem to harmonize.

Marlos efforts to eliminate Joe and right to substitute the source of his drugs, lead to the return of some familiar faces such as Avon (Wood Harris) and Sergei (Chris Ashworth) in Unconfirmed reports and by Spiros (Paul Ben-Victor) and the Greeks (Bill Raymond) in React Quotes . In any case, Simon and Burns made efforts to win the final series of figures from the previous seasons for a few cameos. A reunion there is in the course of the season with Nick Sobotka (Paul Schreiber), Poot (Tray Chaney), Namond (Julito McCullum) and Randy (Maestro Harrell) and Colvin (Robert Wisdom), Stan Valchek (Al Brown) and even Judge Phelan (Peter Gerety).

The driving force this year but the duo-Freamon McNulty, go literally at nothing to an illegal interception of mobile phone Marlos and thereby come to his connection to his drug business. By its action creates McNulty it true that getting many of the policemen, especially in the Carver (Seth Gilliam) command, finally paid their overtime, at the same time he removed himself from his criminal Activities of colleagues such as Bunk (Wendell Pierce). Bauer roles covered in this well-known "victims" as Sydnor, or indeed the now redundant, but still reliably incompetent Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) to.

should be no surprise that torpedo as before political-institutional vanity of the actual investigation. So want to McNulty and Freamon cede the Stanfield case but to the FBI, the Attorney General assume the investigation but not because of wounded feelings due to Carcetti. And because Baltimore's Attorney Bond (Dion Graham) for career reasons Clay Davies (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.) wants to introduce a municipal court is, whether this Case during the season up in smoke. Other driving forces inside the town hall as Neres Campbell (Marlyne Afflack) further supports the thesis of the series artist, that the U.S. is always politically even shoot in the leg.

High The Wire in their last ten episodes on it once again sets up a gear and allows himself probably because of the reduced number Episode no significant outliers down. The fifth season advanced to the contrary, most convincing of the series, in which projects the result Clarifications as an emotional climax, followed by Not for Attribution and Late Editions . The fact that the final episode -30 - is as much a series season finale should, given the fact that the series would, in principle, after each season to end do not interfere. However, it is also striking in the final season that featured some character development in haste, as they have previously received no advance.

Given that many critics have compared the show with a tragedy are the final developments for most of the characters, not tragic, but still a consequence not only of their behavior in this, but also the previous seasons. Contrary to previous years, the private lives of the characters but spared this time, we see some scenes between McNulty and Beadie (Amy Ryan) from. Instead, Simon and Burns focus on their plot structure of the lie to the homeless serial killings, the episode at the end of the series brings some character to change with it, whether its the self-reference been made, however, seem a bit redundant. Total

can be stated that The Wire is after five seasons a very good, but not the best or most important series of all time. Although Simon and Burns tried (successfully) to show as many facets of urban, yet offered The Wire really rare characters or actions that appeared not previously been in other media. Nevertheless, It is an extraordinary achievement for years to give the audience dozens of figures that were not only interesting, but that one could also identify whether they are "good" or were "evil." And finally, Michael K. Williams reserves right when he says: "Life goes on. The game do not stop. "

What Curtains Do You Match With Green Walls

Liane, das Mädchen aus dem Urwald

Selbstpropagierter scandal film of the 50s at the borders of the FSK. A claim that the Edward of Borsodys Liane, the girl from the jungle meets so far, as his PSP over three decades between "from 6" and "16" back and forth. All the more unnecessary, as the responsible, exposed breasts of the 16-year-old Marion Michael disappear after a few scenes when the movie degenerates into charmingly trashy Tarzan version with reversed gender roles. For their own entertainment with a continuously blows with another person in imminent Hardy Kruger, who lost in patriarchal macho gestures, while Liane converts any reception in their environment between animal, wild, man and granddaughter. The highlight is the headlong finale with spontaneous resolution in murder plot CSI-style, and one for then-German relations remarkable ludicrously staged car chase.

Rape From Japanies Film

The Wire - Season Four

No one wins. One side just loose more slowly.

If they had done everything wrong, David Simon reminisziert in a feature for the fourth season of The Wire could, his creation to be just a cop show. Of course The Wire is also a cop series. But yet it is also much more, in their attempt to depict reality through fiction. After one year Break came back in a performance of David Simon and Ed Burns, and built, like the three seasons before, mainly on the experience of the two series creator. Before the HBO series in its fifth and final year dedicated to the views of the media landscape and thus the experience of the learned journalist Simon, the focus of the fourth year moves into the schools.

These were taken up the adventures of Ed Burns, after his time in Baltimore's homicide several years was active as a teacher at an urban high schools. Was the theme of third season of "Reformation", respectively, for the failure of these characters like Major Colvin (Robert Widsom) and Stringer Bell (Idris Elba), the fourth year is obviously the theme "education". The Wire begins to cast a critical and sometimes shocking glimpse into the urban education policy. Burns share the experiences of himself here Prez (Jim True-Frost) and Colvin, who had both the events of last year left the police service and now work as an educator.

penetrates the same time, the series also in the life of the only African-American students, using four of them received minor roles. The figure is most present Namond (Julito McCullum), son of Wee-Bey (Hassan Johnson) and corner-dealer for Bodie (JD Williams), the mother of all it is that it occurs in the same footsteps as his father sentenced for life. In addition, Namond is the only one clique, the criminal is active, even if the quiet and intelligent Michael (Tristan Wilds) occasionally helps out at the Corner. He has come to terms, however, as the other three with a damaged home, he teaches his little brother by the drug addiction of the mother alone.

it is still chaotic at Dukie (Jermaine Crawford), whose parents beat him, steal, and neglect. Only through the social commitment of Prez it is with the boy during the fourth season better. As the last of the bunch is the orphan Randy (Maestro Harrell), who lives with a foster mother and tried as a schoolyard-Entrepreneur and candy-dealer. Namond, Michael, Dukie and Randy are ultimately a bridge between school and street, and thus the link between the world of drugs and the world of education that seem to go in Baltimore, at least in the African-American neighborhoods hand in hand, and the life of three of them will change.

The verdict against Avon (Wood Harris) from Mission Accomplished Marlo Stanfield's (Jamie Hector) on the West Side now unrivaled. Even later, Bodie is no choice but to deal drugs for Marlo, while Slim Charles (Anwan Glover) to right hand of Proposition Joe (Robert F. Chew) is. At the same time Marlo gets increasingly out of control and starts at random people from his soldier Chris (Gbenga Akkinagbe) and Snoop (Felicia Pearson) can execute on. Must believe in another, a security guard off because he confronts Marlo or a supplier, so you murder Omar (Michael K. Williams) can be blamed, the unconscious is advised Marlos way. is

Marlo again remains the objective of the Daniels' launched special unit, even if Daniels (Lance Reddick) has now risen to Major Colvin and superseded. However, it lacks Freamon (Clarke Peters) and Greggs (Sonja Sohn) to hide the bodies that Chris and Snoop in abandoned houses. By Randy from unwittingly Boys of Summer at one of Marlos murders participant, the first two worlds start early with the police investigation surrounding Bunk (Wendell Pierce) to merge Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) and Carver (Seth Gilliam), of which are specific start Herc and Carver now completely to develop in different directions. is

While Herc over the season increased his demonstrated incompetence, Carver shows from Margin of Error that is lost to him but not hops and malt. Something similar happens McNulty (Dominic West), who found his peace with his being a policeman and a seemingly happy, sober and monogamous life with Beadie (Amy Ryan) has started. Since West wanted to spend more time with his family but in London, McNulty appeared relatively little in the fourth year, and then only as a marginal figure. He is still at least as much maturity as Sydnor (Corey Parker Robinson), the only remains a familiar face in the background.

Gave The Wire in previous insights, at least in the private life of the triumvirate McNulty-Daniels-Greggs, so does this too back in the fourth season. Instead, almost exclusively dedicated to Namond, Randy, Dukie and Michael in focus, as well as additional Councillor Tommy Carcetti (Aidan Gillen), whose campaign to become mayor, in Margin of Error finds a successful conclusion. Anyway, the series this time is devoted probably more because of the election campaign the world of politics, as was the case last year. At the same time Carcetti is also one of the characters who live through this year, a positive change, if he renounces his promiscuity like McNulty.

illustrates Basically this season, how much is in the school and the U.S. political system in disarray and how you have the drug problem at its root, and thus tackle the schools. Shall adopt Cutty (Chad Coleman) on a side job in which he cashed truants and bring in their class. But when he sees through the system (the student must appear only once per month, which is why it makes other days are left alone), Cutty is the job at last. Prez is also in Corner Boys and Know Your Place confronted with absurd school policy, if he only intended to prepare his students for specific tests, rather than to give them knowledge.

In the fourth year The Wire is a two-edged sword. Although the series has never tried before, real processes critical and entertaining recycle what you ultimately succeed too. Seen in the fourth season surpasses in its importance to their predecessors, without him at the same time to excel on the narrative level altogether. For in any season use was so obvious to cinematic role models, what the claim of the series, portray real-life urban fiction, a negative notice. For example, look at Dukie and Co. in Alliances in the best Stand By Me-style a corpse or rewarded Colvin Know Your Place a school exercise as in Dangerous Minds with a classy restaurant visit.

The character development sometimes gives slightly when characters as Namond and Michael towards the end react quite unprepared and unexpectedly in 180-degree turnaround for the relay begins and the extremely prominent and ambivalent role as that of Marlo is not really begin to analyze each year. will self of a series that neither character nor an act, but primarily provide a social city, we should expect more. Basically, the new figures, but as every year, very interesting, well-staffed and beneficial to the development of the story, but this increase is at the expense of the ensembles around police and Co. McNulty.

Although the character development on strike at the end, is one of the season finale Final Grades , followed by his predecessor episode That's Got His Own and Unto Others of the best episodes this season. Its notable feature is certainly the ease, attention turned to the school system without at the same storylines of other characters such as Bubbles (Andre Royo) great to ignore. "It could have, if we'd done everything wrong, been a cop show," said David Simon. And that The Wire is more than a cop show, even if they meet their own needs can not always completely, it is characterized as a deserved feature.

Mondays

La Chiesa is directly the street from the Monte Bre Orselina out in Locarno-Monti. The entrance is right next to the Catholic Church:
Today was a wonderfully sunny day and gave us this magnificent views of Lake Maggiore, with the right of the image, the Brissago Islands:
We were
last September for the first time in La Chiesa. Even as I was absolutely thrilled and I decided that I would like there to go back. What I immediately noticed when entering the restaurant, was the bright and friendly atmosphere of Winter no trace, everything worked just as sunny and summery as early September. To this overall impression was partly due to the large windows that offer spectacular views of Lake Maggiore.

greeted us Claudio Borsoni When arriving, the friendly Padrone. He erkochte earlier in Porto Ronco for the San Martino 14 points in Gault Millau and has now also legitimately reached again for his own restaurant. He deserves this success more than.

I chose from the menu of the day, the two starters, the first con Tonno rosso al pastrami insalatina asiatica e coriandro - pastrami and tuna with a small Asian salad with coriander

and then ravioli alla stufato Tues tacchino con Carote e asparagi verdi, homemade ravioli stuffed with turkey stew, served with carrots and green asparagus

Filetto di Rombo Selvatico, Tris di lenticchie, patate lesse e citronette al prezzemolo - turbot tomboy, Three kinds of lentils, potatoes and parsley pesto with lemon - perfect combination, perfect preparation

and because it was sooo good, I've got it right again photographed from the other side ...




So much perfectionism also challenges us. to conclude, contrary to our usual custom, a nice meal with espresso and Digestivo, we were well aware of our duty and our in-depth for once in the dessert menu. For Gerhard
there were plum sorbet with marinated plums mingled with Vieille Prune Fassbind (which he then subsequently also cost right back to the espresso)

Since I so totally am not the sweetness, gave it for me - as it turned out - excellent selection of Ticino and Italian cheeses, each with their selected to jam (such as chilli jam, fig chutney, truffle honey, etc. ...)

top right way, one of my favorite cheese: Testun al Barolo

Gerhard felt like Rose, I would have preferred white wine had, but was also curious about the Gran Rosé Guido Brivio, which I did not know and let me talk. A nice choice of the 2009 fresh, fruity and wonderful to my tuna and the ravioli. For cheese, I drank one (zwei. .. three ...) Sip Rosso 2009 Tenuta Cresperino by Bally & Teufenstein, delicious ... just delicious - I will again have

Chasing Twinkle Lights

La Bête humaine

Il faut penser à la voie dégager.

on the Roman playwright Plautus Titus Maccius the saying goes "Homo homini lupus" (dt Man a wolf to man ) is back. The bestial nature of man devoted himself to Émile Zola in his 1890 novel, La Bête humaine , the platoon commander of the destructive nature of the Jacques Lantier and the rest of the characters says. For the film adaptation of the novel came in 1938 mainly because the wanted to meet Jean Gabin at the height of his career a childhood dream and play a platoon leader [1] . For his La grande illusion director Jean Renoir was La Bête humaine, however another chance to revel in the poetic realism.

"The steel mass of the locomotive was in my mind a flying carpet of Oriental fairy tale," Renoir wrote in his autobiography about La Bête humaine [2] . The railway theme, it is also that the movie with his sensational opening sequence begins [3] . From the perspective of both driver Jacques Lantier (Jean Gabin) and Pecqueux (Julien Carette) follows the journey of the audience of the Paris-Le Havre-Express. One end of the 1930 cinematographic excellence, the brother and cinematographer Claude Renoir, who was filming with his camera on a locomotive attached to the frame, with a tunnel passage, nearly paid with his life [4] .

And as much as the locomotive - Lantier considered "married" with her and calls her affectionately "la Lison" - Its own role in Renoir's film takes, there are but the human characters in the foreground. All, of course Gabin Jacques Lantier, the tragic hero of this story. The driver suffers from a hereditary disease alleged, but he comes from generations of drinkers, according to bias. "Because of you I've become afraid of people," Lantier reveals in the first act towards Flore (Blanchette Brunoy). As a result he suffers from delusional attacks, triggered by women who arouse in him desire [5] that Lantier in poetic sentimentality describes as "bouts of sadness."

"As whether a cloud in my head rises and suddenly everything changed, "says Lantier his attacks and their consequences". Then I'm like a rabid dog bite must be "The scene with the one now introduces Flore Lantier genetic disease that ultimately with the tragic history of La Bête humaine will be responsible. At the same time it shows Lantier but also emotionally involved with Flore. Both assure their love to each other, but the driver pushes the pretty blonde for fear of infringing on its own. When later the femme fatale Séverine (Simone Simon) gets to know his genetic disease, however, seems suddenly to be a problem. Also, his first love proclaimed to Flore.

For O'Shaughnessy Lantier and Séverine are more victims as the cause of their fates [6] , but what is in doubt. Séverine suffers visibly under her outer appearance and thus forms an axis of Flores, who also curses her beauty. Both women are - as far as it concerns Renoir's film - reduced to her appearance. "What I need is not a lover, but a good comrade," said Séverine Lantier then later in a moment of obvious truth. Your gesäuseltes "out of you I have never loved anyone" looks the other hand, more than means to an end, to bring to Lantier, her husband, the stationmaster Roubaud (Fernand Ledoux), to murder for them.

Roubaud in turn gets to know the audience as a friendly and idealistic character. He shows himself as the avenger of the disenfranchised when it advocates a lady and the railway rules against a sugar tycoon. "I make no distinction between the travelers," said Roubaud determined. On the way home, he declines the invitation to a card game to spend time with his wife why he is called a "happy person". But in a society that is dominated by the corrupt and wealthy elite [7] can afford Roubaud not to vex one of them. "You have to visit your godfather," he asks finally, Séverine and release the action occurs.

It responds reluctantly ("All right, I go to him), because they know the price charged by their wealthy godfather for his influence. The consequences are shocked and angry after Roubaud shows that the murder appears to him the only alternative to save the marriage ("We stay together. I swear to you, which will connect us forever"). In a few scenes from the sympathetic Roubaud become suddenly jealous of Control freak ("It is only because I love you"). He has quite obviously scared of losing Séverine, and asks the viewers anyway, why is she married to him, to have no money and seems to be much older.

The inner lives of the characters, however, closes to the public. The murder of Roubaud does not bring him close with his wife, but she finally divided. The affair with Lantier Séverine although he gets to, but it is the station manager does not matter. He loses himself in that card game that he has previously failed. "They have no luck," says his opponent as Roubaud round to Round loses. "No, I have no luck", the Echo is in that mirror at the beginning. Roubaud, the upright man, who treat everyone equally, mutates into a broken man Trying to save his job, resulted in the apparent adultery, the attempt to save the marriage, in the final murder.

Whether Sèverine is really so wicked as she stages Renoir remains open. There is evidence of their infidelity is not, you can also open confession by beating created doubt. The reputation as a femme fatale she is but just the latest after the murder of her godfather, when they tried to incite Lantier subtly into the murder of her husband ("Am Tomorrow is still alive and in the evening one is dead "). When this action does not have the heart to push Séverine blaming him for the now not able to come to their happiness in their shoes. "This happiness depended solely on you," they will judge and thus takes the position that Roubaud held before her.

your fatal character was probably the reason why La Bête humaine his time in the UK under the title Judas Was a Woman was sold [8] . Lantier seen in any case morally stronger than Séverine if you answered: "You can not build his fortune on a crime." But in the face of a possible refusal of the relationship, he says it ends up being willing to kill Roubaud. Why is he now, however, one of his "fits of sadness" suffers, where he eventually was able to here even have sex with Séverine, without showing even a hint of violence, is probably less than the test of authenticity, but due to the drama.

Renoir conjures up so "the implications of Zola's novel title is not" or possibly due [9] . In the course of the narrative the characters fall into decay to hit and role models [10] , but Renoir moved to their characterization in most cases only on the surface. While it is clear that Lantier attacks seem unpredictable and therefore not due to release a definitive, they suggest in addition to foreign debt, a self [11] . And as arbitrary as Lantier attacks also appear to love statements of the main characters, so their romance never seems credible and it therefore lacks the empathy of the audience.

The following classical tragedy, does the decline of all the pieces pre-determined. Thus, Séverine reluctant at first against Lantier decision to kill, but Roubaud ("Not tonight feel. I put that threatens me something"). Ultimately, they are victims of their bestial nature (in Zola's novel, this applies also on Roubaud and Flore), as Séverine godfather Grand Morin before, and if you will, the minor character Cabuche (Jean Renoir), which by past failures as a scapegoat for the Murder of Grand Morin is stylized. Freedom of its genetic disease - and indeed of himself - is Lantier in Renoir's film ultimately only in the "freedom of Death" granted [12] .

The inevitability of human nature, in Zola's novel of the same time period criticism of the then Justice System and obsession with progress needed [13] , Renoir is in the "dark pamphlet" to "entertaining movie spectacle" broken down [14] . Although the movie in France was an "instant hit", the Renoir finally brought recognition after which he had longed for 14 years " [15] does not seem it as if La Bête humaine for Director about the status of a commissioned work gone [16] . Only a half pages devoted Renoir over three decades later his work of poetic realism, he probably first and foremost out of friendship for Gabin assumed in his memoirs.

was perhaps the memory of the film to Renoir simply overshadowed by the fact that he had two months after theatrical release to its predecessor La grande illusion first foreign-language station was nominated for an Academy Award for best film. Ultimately impressed La Bête humaine through its visually stunning representation of the train (the opening scene is by the picture link) and the railroad life, and he also works largely as a precursor to the American film noirs of the 1940s [17] , on the narrative level fails La Bête humaine however, to provide an equally convincing characterization of his characters.
