AMD 1

For my AMD I decided to continue to watch Bella Martha. It was a very good movie, but very slow and sad for the majority! I watched it with a friend that has a german minor, and he said that is pretty much how all German movies go: slow, somber, and with breaks in dialog for music. It reminded me of the other movie we watched a clip of in German 101 (which I unfortunately cannot remember the name of), just in that both had very slow, sad parts where children had to face the death of a parent. But, I was very glad it came around to a happy (and abrupt) ending! I was also happy with how much I could understand. Further, most of the actors/actresses were very good at enunciating so it was interesting and helpful to hear how they would form sentences to express certain things. I cannot remember any quotes in particular that stuck out at me, but I know that I certainly understood Lina the best! All in all, though, it was a good movie.
